There was a private Show of two pans of most beautiful Dahlias, exhibited 

 between Mr. Read, of Eridge Castle, and Mr. Wicker, at the Hon. Captain 

 King's, Cranbrook. The blooms of both pans were so exceedingly well 

 grown and evenly matched, that it was a most difficult point to decide 

 between them; indeed, so nearly approaching were they in the different 

 points of excellence forming the criterion for judgiug good flowers, that the 

 first person selected as judge declared his inability to decide between them ; 

 another was called to his assistance, with no better success; and a third was 

 chosen by them, who declared in favour of Mr. Wicker, in whose pan we 

 noticed the following — Brewer's Rival King (stated to be in the highest 

 degree of perfection), Beauty of Cambridge, Cedo Nolli, Ariel, Wells's En- 

 chantress, WidnalTa Apollo, Eminent, Queen of Sheba, Camellia-flora Alba, 

 Wells's Polyphemus; in Mr. Read's pan, Queen of Sheba, Camellia-flora 

 Alba, Eminent, Thalice, Springfield Rival, Granta, Hcrmione, Hon. Mrs. 

 Harris, Enchantress, Ariel, Duchess of Buccleugh, Marquis. In these two 

 pans, the lovers of good flowers might see every thing they wished for. 



We are happy to say the exhibition closed seemingly much to the satisfac- 

 tion of all who witnessed it, particularly the new arrangements inado by the 

 Committee for receiving productions, and removing them at the close of the 

 Show.
