Chrysanthemum Show Awards Confusing Readout At Canberra Hall

The Chrysanthemum show at the Hors cultural See in Canberra featured a noisy, garbled exhibition list. Names such as E. Thornton, Mra Scotnberge, Steinbergs, and Mrs Steinbergs appear with scattered scores and placements. The event's readability is poor with many fragmentary entries and unclear results.
