BATH.— July 7th. 
Although unfortunate’y clashing with several other fixtures, and also 
taking into consideration how very injurious the long spell of excessively 
hot and dry weather has been to the Roses, this popular Exhibition must 
yet be considered a decided success. There were certainly fewer exhibitors, 
notably in the open classes, than usual, many entries being withdrawn at the 
last moment, but thanks to the efforts of several competitors who put up 
their surplus blooms no appreciable falling off, as far as quantity was con¬ 
cerned, was noticeable. As will be seen by the prize lists, many well-known 
exhibitors from far and near were represented, though only in but few 
instances were their exhibits up to their usual excellen le, more especially 
as regards the size of the blooms. The Show was held in the Sydney 
Gardens and was well attended. 
In th? nurserymen’s class for seventy-two distinct varieties, single trusses, 
Messrs. Harkness & Sons, Bedale, were easily first, their blooms generally 
being larger than thoss staged by other competitors, and were fresh and 
bright in colour. The most noteworthy blooms were of Alba ro°ea, Princess 
Beatrice, Mons. Alfred Dumesnil, Madame Montet, Prince Arthur, Duke of 
Teck, Alfred Colomb, Frargois Michelon, Countess of Oxford, Louis Van 
Houit?, Comtesse de Nadaillac, Violet Bouyer, Duke of Edinburgh, General 
Jacqu minot, Auguste Rigotard, Captain Christy, Mons. Noman. Constantin 
Pelriakoff, Lady Mary Fitzwilliam, E. Y. Teas, Therese Levet, Mane Bau¬ 
mann, Etienne Levet (very fine), Sultan of Zanzibar. Duke of Wellington, 
Dupuy Jamain, and La Duchesse de Morny. Messrs. Paul ifc Son, Cheehant, 
were second, among theirs being good blooms of Horace Vernet, Madame de 
Watteville, Camille Bernardin, Louis Van Houtte, Le Hav. e, Jean Ducher, 
and Sultan of Zanzibar. Messrs, G. Cooling ifc Sons, Bath, were a creditable
