MANCHESTER AND NORTH OF ENGLAND ORCHID.

on September 8th, when the following members of the Committee were 
present :—Messrs. E. Ashworth (Chairman), R. Ashworth, Arthur, Ashton, 
Bolton, Cowan, Crombleholme, Cypher, Holmes, Keeling, Lee, Parker,

moderate display of plants, members having possibly not got into working 
order after the holiday interval. 
H. J. Bromilow, Esq., Rainhill (gr. Mr. Morgan), was awarded a Silver

exhibitor is in competition throughout the present session for the “ Richard
