HAZELTON,
Aug.
.25:
On
Thursday
last,
Old
Sol
suddenly
decided
to
favor
the
residents
of
Hazelton
with
at
least
one
of
the
nicest
days
of
the
season.
This
sudden
change
of
weather
was
certainly
received
witli
open
arms
by
everyone,
especially
those
hard-worked
personages
responsible
for
one
of
the
"most
beautiful
shows
of
its
kind
ever
attempted
In
Northern
B.C.
The
name
Flower
Show
seemed
to
have
suddenly
electrified
the
people
of
the
town
itself
and
those
of
the
surrounding
communities
for
the
attendance
was
indeed
gratifying.
Long
before
the
hour
set
for
the
of
ficial
opening
dust-laden
cars
could
be
seen
racing
along
the
dusty
roads
the
one
thought
uppermost
In
the,
minds
of
the
occupants
being
boll-I
day
and.
of
course,
all
the
necessary
or
unnecessary
frivolity
that
usually
runs
In
such
close
congrulty
with
such
occasions..
The
Hazelton
Horticultural
So
ciety
called
upon
Rev.
S.
V.
H.
Red
man
to
officially
open
the
eighth
annual
Flower
Show
and,
with
a
very
fitting
address.
Mr.
Redman
proclaimed
the
occasion
open.
The
show
was
far
behind
those
of
previous
yeau
in
some
respects,
namely,
the
quantity
of
exhibits,
but
the
qualltjLpt
all
the
Jlqwers
was
considered
far
superior
to
those
of
;ast
year.
The
dahlias
were
especially
worthy
of
mention,
being
beyond
comprehension.
It
would
hardjy
be
possible
for
anyone
who
has
not
been
fortunate
enough
to
attend
one
of
these
splendid
affairs
to
ever
realize
that
beauty
equal
to
that
which
the
residents
of
Hazelton
gathered
together
for
this
occasion
could
possibly
be
expected
to
be
seen
in
this
northern
extremity
of
the
hemisphere.
The
climate
of
the
surrounding
district
seems
to
be
one
favored
to
the
growth
of
this
particular
kind
of
beauty.
The
judges
expressed
great
pleasure
at
being
afforded
the
opportunity
of
being
present
at
such
a
beautiful
affair.
The
official
judges
were
Mrs.
Boswell
of
Smlthers,
S.
S.

The
Ball

The
crowd
was
far
from
slow
In
making
Its
way
from
the
beautiful
scene
to
the
battle
ground,
quite
worn
from
recent
battles
between
the
Haaelton
Cubs,
now
champions
of
the
Northern
Interior,
and
other
teams
anxious
to
wrest
this
claim
of
supremacy
from
the
boys.
Little
did
the
eager
fans
know
just
what
they
had
In
store
for
them
or
those
that
had
become
so
Impatient
with
waiting
for
the
appearance
of
the
Smlthers
team
would
have
deigned
to
sit
on
pins
and
needles
for
a
few
moments
longer.
The
battle,
for
it
can
hardly
be
described
as
anything
else,
finally
started
about
5
o'clock.
Just
one
hour
later
than
scheduled,
but
no
one
can
truthfully
say
that
!
the
long
wait
which
they
were
fore-
'
ed
to
endure
was
not
more
than
re
paid
In
the
game
which
they
were
fortunate
enough
to
witness.
Hastlton
trotted
out
on
the

with
their
usual
hustle
and

which
Is

with

precision,
the
