The fifty-fifth consecutive Show of this Society, held at Bootham Park, 
York, on June r&th, roth, and 2oth, will mark another era ih its history. 
The whole Show was a great success, and Orchids were more extensively 
shown than for some years past. 
Among non-competitive groups, first must be placed that of Messrs. 
Mansell & Hatcher, Rawdon, Leeds, which was awarded a Large Gold 
Medal. The group comprised many fine examples of Cattleya, Lzelio- 
cattleya, Odontoglossum, Odontioda, and Cypripedium, besides many 
Orchids of botanical interest. The whole was tastefully arranged, and does 
credit to this young and enterprising firm. 
Another group that was conspicuously good was that of Messrs. Charles- 
worth & Co., Haywards Heath, which contained many hybrids of Cattleya, 
Lzliocattleya, Odontioda, Oncidioda, Odontoglossum, and others. Con- 
spicuous in the centre was a fine plant of Cattleya Hardyana x Lealio- 
cattleya Canhamiana, a really fine flower. This select group was awarded 
a Gold Medal. 
Messrs. Sander & Sons, St. Albans, also exhibited a gronp containing 
many good things, including fine examples of Leliocattleya Canhamiana 
Rex, Acis, and others. They also had several Orchids of botanical interest, 
and were awarded a Silver-gilt Medal. 
Mr. W. A. Manda, St. Albans, in front of a group of ferns, exhibited 
several specimens of Cattleya, the best of which was a superb C. Mossiz. 
Messrs. James Cypher & Sons, Cheltenham, were the only exhibitors 
for a table of Orchids arranged for effect, and were worthily awarded the 
first prize for a light, bright, and elegant.arrangement. 
Messrs. Cypher was also placed first for twelve Orchids, their finest 
Specimens being Leliocattleya Aphrodite, Miltonia vexillaria Cobbiana, 
Cattleya Warscewiczii, Epidendrum prismatocarpum, and Thunia Marshall- 
jana. The second prize was awarded to W. P. Burkinshaw, Esq., The West 
Hill, Hessle (gr. Mr. T. Barker), who had fine plants of Lelia tenebrosa 
Walton Grange variety with four fine flowers on one spike, Coelogyne 
pandurata, Cattleya Warscewiczii, C. Mendelii, Lzliocattleya Canhamiana, 
and L.-c. C. G. Roebling. As usual, these competitors were very close 
together. Mr. E. H. Davidson, Twyford, Berks., was third, with smaller
