GRAND YORK GALA. 
June 24th. 
[Specially Reported for “The Gardening World.”] 
The forty-fifth annual exhibition in connection with the above 
was held in that pleasant enclosure, Bootham Field, York. 
Splendid weather favoured the opening day of the show, although 
showers somewhat marred the two succeeding days. Still, there 
was a capital attendance. Taking the show generally, the 
standard was really good, despite the very wretched weather 
experienced recently. Orchids were not quite so numerous as 
last year, but the quality made up for the quantity. Stove 
and greenhouse plants were quite up to the usual standard of 
excellence seen at York. Ros^s were not so numerous as usual, 
and hardly so good, but considering the season this is not to 
be wondered at. Fruit, especially Grapes, was of the highest 
excellence. 
The gala side of the event was well looked after in the way 
of variety troupes, musical attractions, and balloon ascents. 
The judges were :—For groups and foliage plants, Mr. C. H. 
Letts, gardener to the Marquis of Zetland, Aske Hall, and 
Mr. Geo. Wilson, gardener to Sir J. Reckitt, Swanland Manor, 
Brough ; for Orchids and cut flowers, Mr. J. Deacon, gardener 
to Right Hon. J. Chamberlain, and Mr. J. Macleod, gardener 
to Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, Dover House, Roehampton ; for 
Roses, Pelargoniums,, Carnations, etc., Mr. J. Eastwood, gar¬ 
dener to Mrs. Tetley, Weetwood, Leeds, and Mr. R. Macintosh, 
gardener to Air. J. T. Hingston, Clifton, York ; for fruit and 
vegetables, Mr. H. E. Gribble, gardener to the Marquis of 
Londonderry, Wynyard Park, and Mr. J. Allsopp, gardener 
to Lord Hotham, Dalton Hall, Beverley. 
The luncheon was presided over by Sir C. A. Milward, sup¬ 
ported by the Lord Mayor, Alderman Edwin Gray, the Sheriff, 
Mr. F. C. Shann, the Dean of York, Aldermen Sir J. Rymer, 
L. Foster, Border Mackay, and others. 
The principal awards we append below : — 
Plants.—Group of miscellaneous plants, in or out of bloom, 
arranged for effect, not exceeding 300 ft. square (open): First, 
J. Blacker, Esq., Selby (gardener, Walton Curtis); second, J. S. 
Sharp, Almondbury ; third, W. Artindale and Son, Sheffield ; 
fourth, E. Beckett Faber, Esq. (gardener, W. Townhend); fifth, 
Messrs. R. Simpson and Sons. There were five groups 
arranged, and the winner had a very telling group. The back¬ 
ground comprised grand Palms, with Cocos Palms arising from 
the centre, but the most telling plants in this group were some 
wonderful Acalyphas and Crotons. There were some very good 
Abutilons in it, principally A. Sawitzii. The second group 
was, perhaps, lighter in the matter of arrangement, but, we 
thought, lacked colour, and the individual plants were not 
quite so good as the winners. 
Twelve stove or greenhouse plants in bloom. Orchids ex¬ 
cluded (open) : First, Messrs. Jas. Cypher and Sons, Chelten¬ 
ham ; second. Colonel H. Broadley (gardener, C. Lawton). 
Six stove or greenhouse plants in bloom. Orchids excluded

son and Sons. . L , , ,,

Broadley (C. Lawton, gardener). T n i 
Three stove or greenhouse plants (open): 1 ( irst, J. Cypher ,
