Penang ha$ always shown well in cattle and poultry, and we 

 may hope for a good display this time. The fruit crop, at least 

 down South, promises very ill this season, but the Northern part 

 of the Peninsula may be more productive. The remarkable 

 success last year in the Malay arts section, and the subsequent 

 sale of almost everything the natives brought at very good 

 figures, ought to bring as good an exhibition at least. Flowers 

 and ornamental plants too should be much better than at last 

 year's show, where they were remarkably poorly staged, and we 

 shall hope to see a really good exhibition of rubbers, not perhaps 

 better in quality, for that shown last year at Kwala Lumpur was 

 about as good as it could be, but in greater quantity, and more 

 representative of this great industry.

It is with much regret that we have to chronicle the death 

 of one who did so much for agriculture and botany as Sir Hugh 

 Low, who died on April 18th, 1905, very nearlv eightv-one years
