weighing 480 catties (54 cwt). There wen- a good number of litters 

 of pigs also. Goats were few and not very good. Sheep had ill 

 classes filled, the first prize Ewe sheep being exceptionally finV, the 

 other exhibits were fair. 



Poultry. 



The exhibition of poultry was very good, and far in advance of 

 last year's Show. Mr. H. WoOL won the prize for the < hampion 

 with a grand pair of fowl. Two pens of Buff Cochins were highly 

 admired and there was a good show of Bantams, Malay [owl. Sil- 

 kies, and other breeds. Guinea fowl were not as good a> last y< 

 only one entry of a pair of good white birds being* made. Mu>. 

 ducks and Manila ducks were well shown, and the Geese were fine 

 and in good condition. 



The Pigeons, Antwerps and Fantails were very good, but th< re 

 aught to have been more entries. 



Of Cage-birds a number of different kinds were show n, Nicobar 

 Pigeons, Pergam ( Carpophaga), Hornbill, Parakeets, Crested Par- 

 tridges, Avadabats and other birds. 



^ Rabbits, at one time a feature of Penang Shows, were not exhi- 

 bited. Two lots of Guinea Pigs however created much interest 

 among the Natives. 



Produce. 



The Butter which was rather extensively shown was very good, 

 and there were many entries for Eggs, both of fowls and ducks, 

 and some of the samples were exceptionally good. 



The Governor's Cup. 



For the best general exhibit in Agricultural produce was carried 

 off by Caledonia Estate, Kamuning coming second. This cup was 

 judged for by a system of marks for first, second and third prizes, 

 and for exhibits which did not take prizes but were worthy of being 

 shown, Mr. MACHADO of Kamuning Estate won a cup given for the 

 best general exhibit of the Show, shewing Para Rubber, Coconul 

 Ginger, Oils, Papain and other drugs, Pepper black and white, 

 Patchouli, Arrowroot, Betelnuts, Kapok, Coffee, Fibre, Citronella 

 Oil, Coconut Oil, Sirih, Tapioca roots, Tea, Tuba, Turmeric, Chilis, 

 Limes, Roses, Palms, Fowls, two breeds, Eggs, Caladiums, not a 

 bad exhibition for a comparatively small estate. Caledonia estate 

 showed Betelnuts, Arrowroot, Indigo, Rum, Rum shrub, Sugar- 

 cane, Sugar, Patchouli, Cotton, Kapok, Coffee, Oil, Coconut-. 

 Tapioca, Toddy and Rubber. Mr. PRIOR though showing less in 

 variety did very well with his fine lot of produce, taking three prizes 

 for Coconuts, one for Copra, two for Coffee, two for Rubber and a 

 highly commended Fibre/ which was about all he showed. 



Next Year's Exhibition. 

 At the suggestion of His Excellency the Governor the exhibition 

 in 1906 will be held at Singapore about the end of July or begin- 

 ning of August, and we shall hope to have as successful an exhibi- 

 tion as the last.
