The spring rose show of the Horticultural Society of Queensland was 
held at the Centennial Hall, Brisbane, on the 12th and 13th October, and was 
largely attended, the attractions of music, singing, and living pictures being 
added to the really magnificent exhibition of flowers. 
On the 7th October a successful agricultural show was held at Bundaberg. 
Hor full particulars of these events, we refer our readers to the local 
daily and weekly journals. 
Tue Editor will be glad if the secretaries of Agricultural and other 
Societies will, as early as possible after the fixture of their respective shows, 
notify him of the date, and also of any change in date which may have been 
decided on.

SUGAR-CANE EXHIBITS AT THE LATE INTERNATIONAL 
EXHIBITION. 
Ly our notice of the sugar-canes exhibited by various planters in the Court of 
the Agricultural Department at the late International Exhibition at Bowen 
Park, no mention was made of the cane exhibits of the Colonial Sugar Refining 
Company from their estates at Homebush and at the Isis. The reason for the 
omission is that, as these canes were placed in the court some time before our 
report on the Department’s exhibits could be prepared, they had, owing to 
their condition two months after arrival, to be replaced by fresh canes then 
recently arrived from other parts of the colony.
