Class 60, Para-general exhibit, packed in boxes as sent from 

 estate for export included 10 entries of 17 boxes of different pre- 

 paration, the diploma and cup being carried off by Lanadron 

 (Mr. Pears) the advantage of this preparation as a simple and 

 cheap means of transport being obvious. The second prize going to 

 Vallambrosa Estate, Selangor, who exhibited some splendid rubber 

 but did not meet with usual luck. 



Several sets of photographs of estates and methods of tapping 

 were shown by Mr. Campbell and Mr. Douglas and others. 



Para rubber seeds were shown though there was no class for 

 them. 



Among apparatus use for cultivation and preparation of rubber 

 may be mentioned a large series of rubber tools exhibited by 

 McAlister & Co. 



A working plan of a rubber dryer by means of desiccated air 

 was exhibited by Mr. Swan, which may prove an useful adjunct to 

 the planter. 



Mr. P. T. Burgess showed an ingenious and very simple girth- 

 measurer, by means of which any cooly can take the measurements 

 of all the trees in an estate in a very short space of time, so as to 

 give a correct idea of the extent of tapping area in an estate. A 

 description of this simple apparatus is promised for the Bulletin.
