182 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
A Silver Cup was offered by J. Galloway, Esq., J.P., for ten bona fide 
specimens, which was secured by Messrs. Heath and Son. Cattleya 
Skinneri, nearly a yard across and covered with flowers, was especially fine, 
also C. Lawrenceanum. Other noticeable plants were C. Mendelii, Lelia 
purpurata, Cymbidium Lowianum, and Miltonia Roezlii. Mrs. Hodgkinson 
was second with a good group of well-known things. 
The Silver Cup given by John Wainright, Esq., J.P., for twenty speci- 
men Orchids, fell to H. Shaw, Esq., Ashton-under-Lyne (gr. Mr. Smith), for 
an excellent group. 
Messrs. John Linden and Son, Brussels, offered a Silver Cup for twenty-- 
four Odontoglossum crispum, which was won by F. Hardy, Esq. ~ “W. f- 
Thompson, Esgq., took the second prize, the third going to W. R. Lee, Esq. 
Each group contained some good forms. 
‘T. Statter, Esq., won the Silver Cup given by Mrs. Vickers for the best 
collection of Hybrid Orchids raised from seed, with Cypripedium x Aylingit 
and Selenipedium x Schroederz splendens, both very fine. 
Four large and effective groups were staged not for competition, which 
we have only space to note very briefly. Each contained many good 
Cattleyas and Lzlias, Odontoglossums, Cypripediums, Miltonia_ vexillaria, 
Cymbidium Lowianum, and other showy Orchids which are invariably in 
evidence at this season, and which must be dismissed with this general’ 
mention. 
Messrs. B.S. Williams and Son, Upper Holloway, contributed a splendid 
group. Specially noticeable were the very fine Vanda teres, the white 
Odontoglossum citrosmum album, and the very deep rosy purple O. c.. 
Owenianum, a beautiful O. x elegans, O. triumphans aureum, Edwardii and 
Hallii xanthoglossum, the brilliant Ada aurantiaca, the rare Bollea Patinii, 
Ccelogyne pandurata and tomentosa, Oncidium concolor, sarcodes, and 
Marshallianum, all very fine, Maxillaria Sanderiana, &c. 
Messrs. Charlesworth, Shuttleworth and Co., Heaton, Bradford, staged 
a brilliant group, including Odontoglossum ramosissimum, the fine O. 
crispum apiculatum, O. polyxanthum, O. x Coradinei,and O. x Andersonia- 
num, Oncidiums macranthum, Marshallianum, sarcodes, concclor, and 
cornigerum, Maxillaria Sanderiana, and many others. Nor must we 
omit a very distinct Vanda, provisionally named V. Charlesworthii, allied 
to V. coerulea, which may be a natural hybrid. 
Messrs. W. L. Lewis and Co., Southgate, had a very effective group, 
including the new Microstylis Scottii, the brilliant hybrid Cypripediums, 
Winifred Hollington and x Aylingii, also C. x Smithii, Cattleya Schiller- 
liana, &c., &c. 
Messrs. Cowan, of Liverpool, also staged a fine group, including Miltonia 
Phalznopsis, Lelia majalis, Dendrobium baie Oncidum ages and 
pher commoner but showy things.
