ORCHIDS AT THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
THERE was a good display of winter-flowering Orchids at the Royal 
Horticultural Society’s meeting on December 5th last, but owing to fog the 
light in the Drill Hall was so bad that the exhibits could only be inspected 
with difficulty. Two First-class Certificates and four Awards of Merit 
were granted by the Orchid Committee, the members of which present 
were as follows:—H. J. Veitch, Esq., in the chair, and Messrs. T. W. Bond, 
H. J. Chapman, De B. Crawshay, J. Gurney Fowler, T. B. Haywood, 
E. Hill, J. Jaques, H. Little, A. H. Smee, W. H. White, C. Winn, 
W. H. Young, and J. O’Brien (hon. sec.). 
The President, Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., Burford, Dorking (gt-

elegantula, Oncidium olivaceum, two fine specimens of Cypripedium 
Spicerianum with ten and fifteen flowers respectively, C. xX Juno, 
C. X Statterianum, bearing three scapes, two of which were
