Joseph Chamberlain, M.P. held their thirty fourth annual show today in the grounds of Highbury in pleasant weather, and under successful circumstances … The event attracted a large list of entries from the district, and a very attractive display was afforded in the two large tents in which the exhibits were staged. The class first in order of the schedule and first in general attractiveness was that of a group of plants arranged for effect. The first award was taken by Mr. J. Arthur Kenrick, of Borrow Court, Edgbaston, with a tasteful arrangement of crotons, campanulas, liliums, palms, and orchids (Cattlea). The second prize went to Mr. J. Archibald Kenrick, of Harborne House, Harborne; the third Mr. N. C. Pinsent, (sic) Harborne; and special was awarded to Mr. J. Cope, of Mary Street, Balsall Heath. Messrs.
