MANCHESTER AND NORTH OF ENGLAND ORCHID. 
THE last meeting of the Society’s year was held at the Coal Exchange, 
Manchester, on June 2nd, when the results of the various cup competitions 
were decided, as follows :— 
J. Talbot Clifton, Esq., Lytham Hall (gr. Mr. Float), was awarded 
Messrs. Charlesworth’s Cup, for plants not previously certificated by 
the Society. 
H. J. Bromilow, Esq., Rann Lea, Rainhill (gr. Mr. Morgan), won 
Messrs. Sander’s Cup for Cypripediums. 
J. McCartney, Esq., Hey House, Bolton (gr. Mr. Holmes), was the 
winner of Messrs. Stuart Low’s Cup for Cattleyas and the various allied 
genera, with their hybrids. 
A. Warburton, Esq., Haslingden (gr. Mr. Dalgleish), was awarded Mr. 
Robson’s Cup for Odontoglossums. 
All these Cups were offered for the highest number of points gained by 
the competitors throughout the year, the competition being limited to 
Amateurs, with a prize of five guineas to the winning gardener. 
N. Galloway, Esq., Bradford, was the winner of the Ward Cup, for 
Amateurs who grow Orchids without the aid of a gardener. 
There was a fine display of Orchids at the meeting in question, but we 
regret that we are not able to give particulars, as Mr. Thorp, who has 
kindly sent reports for the last three years, is not able to continue them, at 
all events for the present, and the expected report has not arrived in time. 
There was also a meeting on June 23rd. 
An interesting programme is being prepared for the coming year, but we 
understand that it is not yet printed. We hope to be able to give particulars 
next month.
