as, to some extent, to the novelty of the 

 Show which was the first of its kind to 

 be held in the Korale. 



Vegetables.— The collection of veget- 

 ables representing all sections in the 

 Catalogue was satisfactory, especially 

 the pumpkins, cucumbers, brinjals, 

 capsicums, beans and gourds. 



Fruits. — This class was rather poor, as 

 the season for fruit was a bad one, but 

 the oranges, heennarams, plantains and 

 limes were good. 



Miscellaneous. — There were several 

 sections under this class, all of which 

 were well represented. Coconut, 

 Coconut Oil, Copra ; Betel, Sugarcane, 

 Cassava, Paddy and Dry Grains deserve 

 mention. 



In the Industrial class were exhibited 

 pots and pans, bricks and tiles, iron work, 

 rattan baskets, excellent specimens of 

 brass work, skilfully woven mats, lace 

 and native Agricultural implements. 



School Garden Exhibits made a brave 

 Show. Weragala came first with a fine 

 lot of pineapples, guava, onion, and 

 varieties of vegetables, as well as flowers. 

 Kotapola was second best. 



The Dedigama Girls' School also sent 

 a collection of School Garden products 

 and was awarded a prize. 



At the termination of the Show a 

 sale was held, with the assistance of 

 the Kachcheri Mudaliyar and the 

 Ratemahatmaya. Some of the exhibits 

 fetched good prices.
