Malacca. These figures show to what extent this Division was 

 indebted to Perak for its exhibits. In embroidery alone Perak 

 exhibited 35 specimens mostly of very fine work, two first prizes 

 being awarded to entries from Kuala Kangsa, and Papan. Two 

 second prizes were awarded to exhibits from Malacca, which sent 

 20 entries, and was the only country approaching Perak in this 

 •class. Other headings under which Perak exhibited largely were 

 ornamental baskets, 22 entries, rope and twine, attaps, mats 

 and serih sets. Models were very numerous. Of the model 

 snares and traps 38 specimens came from Perak, very few indeed 

 coming from elsewhere. Of the old silver-work practically the 

 whole came from Perak (18 entries) and Selangor (7 entries) but 

 the first prize was awarded to some new work by a Singapore 

 silversmith. Under brass-ware nearly all the entries were from 

 Perak, although a Penang exhibitor secured the first prize. For 

 ornamental baskets 5 prizes were awarded, all going to the 

 Malacca exhibitors. The tin- ware from Seremban was as usual 

 a very conspicuous exhibit. The Malacca lace workers also 

 attracted much attention, as did the sarong-weavers, and the 

 Chinese drawn thread workers. There were some very handsome 

 old kriss-sheaths shown, but in this, as in other cases, the 

 preference was given to new work, the first prize going to a 

 Butterworth exhibit. The latter part of the prize list, from 307 to 

 314, callsfor no remarks, the prize-list which is in your hands showing 

 the results. Class II (school-exhibits) was separately managed and 

 judged. I enclose a few notes on matters of organisation, arrange- 

 ment of the prize-list, etc., which may be of use in future shows. 

 Thanks are due to Messrs. Coutts and Marriott for the great 

 assistance rendered by them, in the work of this Division.
