THE TEMPLE SHOW, 1897. 

 May 26, 27, and 28. 



By kind permission of the Treasurer and Masters of the Bench, 

 the Society held its tenth great Annual Flower Show in the 

 Gardens of the Inner Temple on Wednesday, Thursday, and 

 Friday, May 26, 27, and 28, 1897. 



The weather was fairly good, that is to say, it was a mixture 

 of rain, sunshine, and wind, the second day being far more 

 propitious than the first and last. 



The exhibition, which was superior in quality and cultural 

 skill to any of its predecessors, was honoured on the first day by 

 a visit from H.R.H. the Princess of Wales, H.R.H. the Duke of 

 York, the Princess Charles of Denmark, and Princess Victoria. 

 The Royal Party were received by the President, who with 

 several members of the Council, escorted them through the 

 whole of the exhibition. 



The band of H.M. Royal Horse Guards (Blues), under the 

 direction of Mr. Charles Godfrey, R.A.Mus., performed during 

 the afternoon of each day. 



The Awards of the Council are given below; those of the 

 Fruit, Floral, and Orchid Committees will be found under their 

 respective reports.
