 Among the fruit was a fine Providence pine, weighing over 8 lbs. ; this was 

 part of a set of eight dishes from Mr. Bailey, gardener to T. T. Drake, Esq., 

 Shardeloes. Plums were unusually fine, but peaches were generally deficient 

 of colour. The best Queen pine came from Mr. Axistin, gardener to the 

 Hon. R. Curzon, of Tooting, and took the second prize ; the first was taken 

 by a fruit not quite so good or so handsome, from Mr. Solomon, of Peckham 

 Rye. Mr. Bailey's Black Hamburgh and Bowood Muscat grapes were even 

 bunches and the berries faultless. Mr. Frost was first in white gi'apes with 

 six bunches of Muscats; Mr. Reicl, of Sydenham, exhibited in this class 

 some well-grown fruit. The largest single bunch of grapes was sent by 

 Mr. Payne, gai'dener to J. B. Bedall, Esq., of Chelmsford; it was black 

 Hamburgh, and weighed 8 lbs. 14 oz. Melons were quite up to the mark, 

 and the sorts which took the lead were Scarlet Gem, Egyptian Green Flesh, 

 Orion, and Bromham Hall. We may consider this the close of the summer 

 season, and now look forward to the winding up with chrysanthemums.

 growth and shape, those of Mr. Pratt being standards, and Mr. James's
