attracted much attention and easily gained the first prize. 
Exhibits of Liberian coffee, cotton, and tapioca (pearl, fiake and 
flour) were all very good. 
Special thanks are due to the Hon. J. Allinson, Messrs. 
Ridley and Fox, who kindly officiated as Judges, and I am 
particularly indebted to Mr. Fox for the valuable assistance he 
gave me in , arranging and staging the exhibits, as also to 
Mr. Arden and Mr. J. P. Swettenham for the help given me 
from time to time in the necessary preparations for the exhibition.

Hon. Secretary , Division “ A 
Report on Division “B. ” — Flowers, Fruits 
and Vegetables. 
Dealing with the three sections separately and commencing 
with that for flowers, plants, etc., the exhibits staged were poor, 
and had it not been for the enterprise of only about half-a-dozen 
exhibitors this class would have been a hopeless failure. 
As it was, the value offered in first prizes amounted to $230, 
while only $60 were awarded by the Judges; and as regards 
second prizes, awards of the value of $15 only were made out of 
a provision of $35. 
The collections sent by Lady Treacher, Mr. D. G. 
Campbell, Mr. Chua Kim Kiat, Messrs. Yap Thye Kee and 
Teh Show Teng and by Mrs. Ah Yeok, divided practically all 
the prizes between them. Mr. D. G. Campbell winning six first 
prizes, two second prizes, and one commended exhibit, while 
Mr. Chua Kim Kiat won six first prizes. 
Lady Treacher won two first prizes for her collections of 
ferns, and Mr. Lore Yew’s cup for the best group) of Chinese 
plants arranged in fantastic shapes was awarded to Messrs. Yap 
Thye Kee and TPh Seow Teng, Mrs. Cheow Ah Yeok winning 
first prizes for the best collection of> flowering plants. 
The only exhibit worthy of mention among the class for cut 
flower was the bowl of magnificent roses shown by Mr. 
Ephraums, of Negri Sembilan. 
The class for table decoration was well filled, and Miss 
Anderson, who very kindly consented to awfird the prizes, had 
some difficulty in discriminating among the six pretty 'tables of the 
ladies who competed. 
The group of , ferns, etc., staged by the Government 
Gardens, Selangor, were exceedingly effective, and as a general 
exhibit of flowers, fruits and vegetables, too great praise cannot 
be awarded to the Government Gardens, Perak, for their very 
representative collection staged by Mr. Campbell, the Govern- 
ment Superintendent.
