70 INTERNATIONAL FORESTRY EXHIBITION. 
In the arrangement of the Exhibition, the Society was allotted 
about 2000 feet of space for its exhibits, in an excellent posi- 
tion in the main gallery and north-west transept, near to the 
principal entrance. Here it was enabled to display to great 
advantage a vast array of rare, valuable, and interesting articles 
contributed by the members, and from the Society’s own collec- 
tions acquired at various times during the thirty years it has 
been instituted. These are fully detailed at the end of this report. 
The arrangement was carried out with taste and skill by the 
Secretary, Mr John M‘Laren, Jun., assisted by a special com- 
mittee. Tio members of the Society and to the public generally, 
the Scottish Arboricultural Society’s section was a centre of 
attraction from the opening to the close of the Exhibition—the 
numerous articles on the stands being examined with lively 
interest by the crowds that visited the Exhibition. The out-door 
display of the Society’s exhibits was arranged on a convenient 
site near the machinery in motion, and contained many things 
of much interest, especially to foresters. Scattered through the 
Exhibition, inside and out, were also to be seen many valuable 
collections and articles exhibited by members of the Society, 
especially from landowners and their foresters ; from the nursery 
and seed trade; and from the tool, implement, machinery, and 
fencing manufacturers. 
Articles of every description connected with Forestry were 
exhibited in the buildings and grounds. These were contributed 
by almost every civilised country in the world, and included 
exhibits by The Queen, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edin- 
burgh, several Government Departments, the Commissioners of 
H.M. Woods and Forests, the Government of India, the British 
Colonies, the Empire of Japan, and many other Foreign States, 
and a numerous and influential body of representatives of all 
classes at home and abroad. 
It is much beyond the scope of such a limited report as this 
must necessarily be to give full details of any of the splendid 
collections of exhibits made by either States, Societies, or indivi- 
duals ; but it may be noted that the collections exhibited by The 
Queen, the British Government, the Scottish Arboricultural So- 
ciety, India, Japan, Guiana, Ceylon, Johore, Denmark, Sweden 
and Norway, Cape of Good Hope, and New Brunswick, contained 
the cream of the Exhibition.
