June 24. Hinckley Horticultural and Floral Society. An Exhi¬ 
bition of all kinds of horticultural and floral productions was opened by this 
Society at the Town Hall, by permission of the feoffees. A manifest improve¬ 
ment has been effected by the new arrangements entered into at the last 
general meeting. From the late genial rains the specimens of eveiy kind uere 
very excellent. There was plenty of flowers, “ sweet flowers,” to attract the 
ladies—plenty of vegetables to interest the sturdiest growers and plenty of 
fruits to make all their mouths water together. The cottagers’ department 
was much better supplied than usual, realising in some measure the anxious 
hope of the Committee, as expressed in their last year s report that of 
diffusing a taste for horticultural pursuits amongst the humbler classes. 
The Pansies by Miss Alkin, of Hartshill, were finely grown and of very 
beautiful kinds. F. Dansey, Esq. expressed his warm approbation of the 
cottagers’ table, and Mrs. Dansey presented them with a liberal donation, as 
did also W. Milhouse, Esq. of Barwell House. The company was very 
numerous, and seemed highly pleased with the necessary good effects oi such 
a Society. The following prizes were awarded; —
