THE TEMPLE SHOW. 
THE twenty-second annual exhibition of the Royal Horticultural Society in 
the Inner Temple Gardens was held on Tuesday, May 25th, and two follow- 
ing days, and brought together a very large and brilliant display of Orchids, 
though without anything very striking in the way of actual novelty. 
Hybrid Odontoglossums, however, were well represented in several of the 
groups, and if there was an outstanding feature in the display it was the 
number of brilliantly-coloured Odontiodas, quite a cluster of them being 
represented in Messrs. Charlesworth’s group, aad a good many others were 
scattered elsewhere. Three classes on this occasion were set apart for 
Orchids shown by amateurs, and brought out a good competition. The* 
Sherwood Cup for the best group was won by F. M. Ogilvie, Esq., Oxford, 
Sir Jeremiah Colman, Bart., being second (Silver Cup). Fora group not 
exceeding seventy-five square feet a Veitch Memorial Medal and £5 was 
offered, which was won by the Duke of Marlborough, the second prize, a 
small Silver Cup, going to Mrs. Kershaw Wood, Glossop. For a group 
not exceeding thirty-five square feet the first prize (a Silver Cup) was not 
awarded, the second prize, a Silver Flora Medal, going to Richard Ashworth, 
Esq., Manchester. Other Awards were one Gold and five other Medals, 
three Silver Cups, five First-class Certificates, one Award of Merit, 
four Botanical Certificates, and one Cultural Commendation. The Judges 
for Orchids were Messrs. H. J. Chapman, J. Gurney Fowler, H. Little, and 
F. Wellesley, and for the special prize classes Messrs. W. P. Bound, De 
Barri Crawshay, and W. H. White. The weather, which had been pre- 
viously fine, broke in the night, and the Show opened in a downpour of 
rain, which cleared up somewhat in the afternoon, to be succeeded by 
another wet day, which probably had some effect on the attendance. The 
tents, however, were generally well-filled, and the effect of the cool, damp 
weather was to keep the plants beautifully fresh to the last. In the follow- 
ing report we have endeavoured to give the salient features of each group, 
but want of space has prevented us from giving anything like a full report.
