attracted much attention and easily gained the first prize. 

 Exhibits of Liberian coffee, cotton, and tapioca (pearl, Hake and 

 Hour were all very good.

Dealing with the three sections separately and commencing 

 with th;it for flow ers, plants, etc., the exhibits staged were poor, 

 and had it not been for the enterprise of only about haif-a-dozen 

 exhibitors this class would have been a hopeless failure. 



As it w as, the value offered in first prizes amounted to $230, 

 while only $60 were awarded by the Judges: and as regards 

 second prizes, aw ards of the value of §15 only were made out of 

 a provision of $35. 



The collections sent by Lady Treacher, Mr. D. G. 

 Campbell, Mr. Chua Kim Kiat, Messrs. Yap Thve Kee and 

 Tkh Seow Texg and by Mis. Ah Yeok, divided practically all 

 the prizes between them. Mr. D. G. Campbell w inning six first 

 prizes, two second prizes, and one commended exhibit, while 

 Mr. Chua Kim Kiat won six first prizes. 



Lady Treacher won two first prizes for her collections of 

 ferns, and Mr. Lore Yew's cup for the best group of Chinese 

 plants arranged in fantastic shapes was awarded to Messrs. Yap 

 Thve Kee and Teh Seow Teng, Mrs. Cheow Ah Ylor w inning 

 first prizes for the best collection of flowering plants. 



The onlv exhibit worthv of mention among the class for cut 

 flower was the bowl of magnificent roses shown by Mr. 

 Ephraums, of Negri Sembilan. 



The class for table decoration was well filled, and Miss 

 Anderson, w ho very kindly consented to award the prizes, had 

 some difficulty in discriminating among the six pretty tables of the 

 ladies who competed. 



The group of ferns, etc., staged by the Government 

 Gardens, Selangor, were exceedingly effective, and as a general 

 exhibit of flowers, fruits and vegetables, too great praise cannot 

 be awarded to the Government Gardens, Perak. for their very 

 representative collection staged by Mr. Campbell, the Govern- 

 ment Superintendent.
