Mr. H. N. Ridley's special prize in this section was won by 

 Mr. Foo Wha Cheng, of Kuala Lumpur, for his collection (if 

 vegetables, the other principal exhibitors being the Land Office, 

 Penang, with three firsts and one second, and the Jugra District 

 with one first and two seconds. 



The most representative classes were perhaps those for 

 brinjals, pumpkins, watermelons and kladi, and it is perhaps 

 worthy of mention that in the classes for such ordinary v egetables 

 as beetroot, cabbages, onions and artichokes, no exhibits were 

 entered for competition. 



Speaking generally, I do not consider that this division of 

 the show was a very representative one. The plants and flowers 

 are not of so much importance, perhaps, as the fruits and 

 vegetables, and it is a matter to be regretted that the classes for 

 them were not better filled.

 Han. Secretary, Division "J3." 



Report on Division " C." — Stock and Dairy Produce. 



Sections I and 2 were cancelled a week before the first day 

 of the Show, owing to the existence of rinderpest in Kuala Lumpur. 

 Section 1 would have had some interesting exhibits, as several 

 Europeans in Selangor and Perak had intended to exhibit. 



Section 3 only provided one exhibit in class 1. In classes 

 2 and 3 there were no exhibits. In the classes for goats, 

 classes 4 and 5, there were four and six exhibits respectively. 

 All the exhibits in these sections, except one from Klang, were 

 from Kuala Lumpur and district, and none of them call for 

 special notice. One prize was awarded in class 1, and two in 

 each of classes 4 and 5. 



Two extra prizes were given for sheep. 



The Chinamen were backward in bring their pigs, owing to 

 trouble of transporting them, keeping them under restraint, and 

 feeding them on the show ground. The prizes would probably 

 have to be increased in value to induce people to show their 

 pigs, and I doubt whether, even if pigs were exhibited in large 

 numbers, it would prove a great advantage or help on the 

 purposes of the Show. 



In section 4, poultry, etc., there was a large number of 

 exhibits. Far ahead of the rest were Mr. Farrer Baynes' light 

 Brahma fowls. There were many kinds and varieties of fowls 

 exhibited by natives. 



In section 5 there were two exhibits of butter, both from 

 Europeans, and several exhibits of eggs. 



There were also miscellaneous exhibits which it was found 

 impossible to class under any of the scheduled headings, such as 

 cats, plandoks, birds of various colours and sizes, and a crocodile. 

 These exhibits excite considerable interest among the spectators :
