THE ROYAL INTERNATIONAL HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITION. 
AN arrangement was made with the Directors of the Royal International 
Horticultural Exhibition by which the Committees of the R.H.S. adjudicated 
‘ upon the plants entered for Certificates at the Royal International Show, 
4 a the certificates taking the same status as those awarded at the usual R.H.S. 
a meetings. We believe that the arrangement was not made in time for the 
= members to be notified individually, and that some of them were not aware 
: of it until afterwards. The following members of the Orchid Committee 
i ~ were present: Baron Bruno Schréder (Chairman), J. O’Brien (Hon. Sec.), 
a W. Bolton, H. J. Chapman, R. G. Thwaites, F. J. Hanbury, G. F. Moore, 
A W. H. White, H. G. Alexander, J. Charlesworth, J. E. Shill, R. A. Rolfe, 
. E. Ashworth, W. Thompson, J. Cypher, W. Cobb, and S. H. Low, with
