Thomas Daly, Esq., 
Hon. Secretary, R. A & C. Society. 
Sir, — I have the honour to forward the following report 
on the eighth Annual Horticultural and Poultry Show, held 
on the 6th and 7th September, igoo : — 
This Show was, on the whole, lairly successful, and 
if the number of exhibits be alone taken into consideration, 
it was in that respe6l the largest yet held. It may be 
remarked, however, that quality does not always appear 
to be the aim of the exhibitors, for many' of the speci- 
mens were poor and unworthy of a place. It must also 
be considered that the expense of the Show is increased 
by these inferior exhibits, which take up room and prevent 
better samples being shown to the best advantage.
