The contributions of cut flowers, were most liberal, comprising an im- 

 mense variety, and in great proi'usion, — so much so that several large 

 stands and an immense number of vases, &c. were occupied by them. It 

 is more than probable that some of the names of the contributors may 

 have escaped notice; if so, it is hoped that the omission will be attributed 

 to the hurry and confusion incident to such occasions.
