186 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
A similar prize for the best hybrid not in commerce was not awarded, 
as Cypripedium x Hardyanum, exhibited by Mr. G. Hardy, was decided to 
be identical with C. x macrochilum. 
The Williams Memorial Medal and £5 for the best bond fide specimen 
Orchid in the Show, went to Mr. G. Hardy, for Cattleya Mossiz 
Reineckiana, a perfect specimen with sixteen blooms. 
Messrs. Charlesworth Shuttleworth and Co., of Heaton, Bradford, 
Messrs. Linden, of Brussels, and Messrs. F. Sander and Co., of St. 
Albans, were each awarded the Society's Gold Medal for a magnificent 
group, consisting largely of Orchids. 
Messrs. W. L. Lewis and Co., of Southgate, Messrs. Hugh Low and 
Co., of Clapton, and Messrs. B. S. Williams and Co., of Upper Holloway, 
were also awarded Special Prizes for fine groups staged not for competition. 
These, as well as the other groups named, contained many interesting and 
beautiful things, which we have not space to enumerate.
