University (beetles) per Mr. F. A. Perkins. 
Seven State Schools forwarded flowers, prizes being

Several vases and bowls of wild flowers were ar- 
ranged for competitive effect, prizes being awarded to

exhibits, to the Curator of the Botanic Gardens (Mr. E. 
W. Bick) for the loan of pot plants, to the University for 
the loan of tables, and to Dr. E. O. Marks for the loan of
