Exhibition was opened again this year by His Excellency 
the Governor (Sir John Goodwin) at 3 p.m. 
Ilis Excellency, who was introduced by the President,

usual, and he hoped that the Show would continue to^ be 
held each year. After referring to some of the exhibits, 
he made a plea against the indiscriminate picking of 
bush flowers. A bouquet of wild flowers was presented 
to Lady Goodwin by Miss Moira White. A vote of thanks 
to Sir John and Lady Goodwin, proposed by Mr. G. II.
