GENERAL MEETINGS.

THE TEMPLE SHOW, 1895. 
May 21, 22, and 23. 
By the kind permission of the Treasurer and Masters of the 
Bench, the Society held for the eighth time its Great Flower 
Show in the gardens of the Inner Temple on Tuesday, Wednes- 
day, and Thursday, May 21, 22, and 28, 1895. 
Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales had graciously 
consented to visit the show, but at the last moment was prevented 
from doing so owing to ill-health, which necessitated her moving 
from London to Sandringham. 
The weather was somewhat threatening on the first day, but 
despite this fact there was a very large and fashionable gathering 
— much larger than on any previous occasion. The Temple 
Gardens, which on ordinary occasions lie in quiet repose on the 
side of the Thames, were during the show transformed into a 
brilliant scene of human vivacity and floral splendour. 
The exhibits, which were from all parts of the country, and 
quite up to the usual standard of excellence, occupied five large 
tents. It would be impossible to describe in detail all the fruit 
and floral triumphs of the show, and we can only refer our readers 
to the respective reports of the Fruit, Floral, and Orchid Com- 
mittees for the more noteworthy exhibits. {See pages xxix-c.) 
During the day musical selections were performed by the 
following highly efficient bands, viz.: First day, the Royal Horse 
Guards (Blues), under the direction of Mr. Chas. Godfrey, 
R.A.Mus. ; second day, the Second Life Guards, under the direc- 
tion of Mr. Leonard Barker ; and the third day, the First Life 
Guards, under the direction of Mr. Joel Englefield.
