Management. 



The Committee for the show was a very large one, but the 

 whole work of the show really devolved on a very small number of 

 workers. Fortunately they had the assistance of a number of the 

 visitors from the Native States, who materially assisted in the 

 arrangement and judging of the exhibits. 



The buildings were planned and executed by Mr. R. A. J. 

 Bidwell and were far the best both in design and plan of any at 

 previous shows, and very much more extensive. The general 

 arrangements for the exhibition were effected by Mr. Bidwell, Mr. 

 Diepenheim, the Hon. Secretary and Mr. J. S. Isaac (Clerk of 

 the Gardens Department) assisted after the opening of the 

 exhibition by Messrs. Marriott, Hall, Edlin, Hilton and Buckley. 



The arrangement and judging of exhibits were as follows: — 

 Agricultural Section: — Mr. L. Brown, A. J. C. Hart, D. W. Lovell, 

 F. H. Darke, Hon. Sec, Mr. W. Diepenheim, Mr. E. Bramall. 

 Fruits, rlow^ers and vegetables: — Mr. Down, Dr. Ellis, Mr. Pereira, 

 Mr. Campbell, Mr. Main, Mr. Chua Kim Keat. Rubber:— 

 Mr. Zacharias. 



Native Industries : — Messrs. Collinge, Wray, Simmons, 

 Chevallier, CM. Phillips, W. S. Coutts, E. F. H. Edlin. Cattle:— 

 Mr. Falshaw, Mr. H. A.Crane. Poultry:— Mr. W. L. Hawtrey, 

 Mr. C. L. van Cuylenburg. 



Horses: — Mr. Gaunt, Mr. Sugden, Payne-Gallwey, J. B. 

 Young, F. Hilton, J. D. Saunders, Major-General Inigo Jones, 

 Colonel Pennefather. 



Dogs: — Messrs J. D. Saunders, K. A. Stevens, Capt. Hon. 

 C. Baring, F. Hilton and P. S. Turnbull. 



The thanks of the Committee are due to the Government of 

 the F. M. S. who were good enough to carry exhibits free and 

 exhibitors over their railways and to the Manager of the Singapore 

 Railway who did the same. The Straits Steamship Company 

 also gave a rebate of 25 per cent, of the freight of exhibits and the 

 native visitors had also the use of the " Sea Belle" to come and 

 return from Malacca and Penang. 



The number of native visitors from the Native States was 

 about 750, and there was some difficulty in housing them at first. 

 The only available building in Singapore large enough for them was 

 the new Tan Tock Seng Hospital ward, but this was so far away 

 from town as to be practically inaccessible to them, and even- 

 tually they were housed in various parts of the town, their expenses 

 being paid out of the exhibition funds. 



There were also visitors from Ceylon, Burmah, India and two 

 delegates from the Botanic Gardens of Buitenzorg and many 

 others from the Dutch Colonies. 



Exhibitors. 



The whole of the Federated Malay States and the different 

 parts of the Colony sent exhibits to the show, viz., Singapore, 

 Malacca, Penang, Province Wellesley, Johore, Muar, Pahang,
