 and over 50 valuable silver cups. Copies can be obtained on applica- 

 tion to the Secretaries to Standing Committees in the various Settle- 

 ments and States, or from the Hon : General Secretary, Singapore. 



RUBBER SECTION. 



A considerable amount of past experience in arranging these 

 Shows has been brought to bear on this most important section with 

 the result that a schedule has been prepared containing only eight 

 classes, which are considered to cover all grades of rubber now being 

 exported without offering that opportunity for confusion amongst the 

 judges which is inevitable wl>en a large number of classes, many of 

 them more or less duplicate^, are included. 



Rubber Planters will be pleased to know that arrangements have 

 been made whereby, the Rubber Exhibition will be held in the Volun- 

 teer Drill Hall a commodious and lock— fast building situated at one 

 end of the show grounds. This is an ideal building for the purpose, 

 offering ample space to exhibit the rubber to the best advantage and 

 a decided advance on the open attap shed of the past where theft 

 was easy and exhibits were not displayed to the best advantage. 



Valuable 1st and 2nd prize silver cups are offered for the best 

 exhibits in each class for Para Rubber {Hevea brasilicnsis) and 

 silver and bronze medals are offered for Rambong Rubber {Ficus 

 elastica) and any other kinds. 



The United Planters' Association of Malaya has graciously 

 consented to present the championship cup for the best general exhi- 

 bit of Rubber.
