Brown Sugar was well shewn, Leong Lak Hing of Bagan Serai 
getting a prize for this. 
The Shows of Jungle Produce as represented by Guttas and 
Rubbers, and also Damars, were poor, and call for no special 
remarks. Rattans were well represented, a considerable number of 
collections being shewn. Many of those exhibited were, however, 
hardly trade rattans, still as collections they were good and inter- 
esting. Bamboos were well shown, ordinary kinds as well as the 
curious spotted bamboo, twisted ones, and some large specimens of 
the big Dendrocalamus giganteus. 
Native herbs used in medicine were very much more extensively 
shewn than at last year’s Show where there were but few entries. 
One competitor took a prize with a hundred and four different herbs 
with a catalogue of their native names and uses. 
Mr. MACHADO brought from Kamuning estate some valuable 
drugs he had grown and prepared including Ipecacuanha, Jeringu 
( Acorus calamus ) Brucea sumatrana. Hydrocotyle asiatica , dried 
leaves, and Papain for the latter he received a special prize. 
Fodder grasses were represented by several collections, but none 
were particularly well selected. The exhibitors seemed to think 
that any grasses or sedges could be classed as fodder grasses, and 
some of the collections contained coarse sedges quite unsuited for 
fodder. Of Tuba roots a considerable number of samples were 
shewn, chiefly differing in thickness of root and neatness of pre^ 
paration. 
Patchouli was well shewn, twenty-two samples being staged, Mr. 
MACHADO again this year carried off first prize with fine and well 
dried leaves. Of Sirih leaves there were twenty-six specimens, 
both of the Chinese and Malay strains, nearly all were very fine 
large-leaved samples. The • Malay who was asked to judge this 
difficult class, gave his verdict for the red veined form. 
Indian corn was good and abundant, some fine coles being shown. 
There was little variety in the kinds staged, only one sample of the 
red corn being shown. 
Cotton was chiefly and largely represented by the short stapled 
Javanese cotton, but Mr. LOGAN won on a fine sample of Egyptian 
prepared with great care, and grown in the North of Province Wel- 
lesley, Mr. Machado also showed Egyptian. 
Kapok was veiy abundant, and many of the samples very good. 
Para rubber was naturally one of the most interesting and attrac- 
tive exhibits and the collection was for the most part superb. Mr. 
BAILEY’S crepe and fancy rubber were highly admired. Mr. 
Prior’s crepe, and the samples shown by Mr. Coates, Mr. 
MACHADO and Sandy Croft estate were all of the finest qualities. 
The old fashioned biscuits were represented but the crepe and flat 
oblong sheets were more in favour, and the round biscuits seem 
to be almost a thing of the past. Scrap was well prepared by Mr. 
Bailey and Mr. Meikle, and was really very good. Rambong 
was not wanting, Mr. Prior’S crepe strips being the best sample
