ot'  fencing  and  the  difference  in  lasting  properties  of  creosoted 
and  uncreosoted  specimens,  the  latter  being  nearly  rotten, 
whereas  the  former  are  practically  as  good  as  when  set  nine 
years  ago. 
Section  VII.  (tools  and  appliances)  was  well  represented, 
and  included  collections  of  forestry  tools  used  in  Germany. 
Practical  Forestry  Demonstrations  were  given  daily  in  a 
specially  prepared  plot  of  ground  at  the  E.vhihition,  and  were 
largely  attended  by  foresters.  Professor  W.  K.  Fisher,  of 
Cooper’s  Hill,  showed  how  plants  should  be  lined  out  in 
forest  nurseries  for  the  production  of  good  root  systems,  and 
Mr.  Fraser  Story,  lecturer  on  forestry  at  the  University  College 
of  North  Wales,  gave  practical  demonstrations  in  sowing  and 
planting  and  in  the  use  of  German  forest  tools. 
Mr.  George  Marshall,  as  Assi.stant  Steward  of  the  Exhi- 
bition, rendered  valuable  aid  by  personally  superintending  the 
staging  of  the  exhibits  and  by  explaining  their  significance  to 
the  numerous  visitors  who  attended  during  the  week.
