REPORT ON THE 
PENANG AGRI-HOKTICULTURAL SHOW 1905. 
The Second Annual Agri-Horticultural Show held in Penang on 
the 9th, 10th, and nth of August last and was opened by His Ex- 
cellency The Governor. From every point of view it is admitted to 
have been in advance of any Show so far held. As will be seen 
from the Tables appended no Show hitherto held has been so widely 
represented, or so liberally supported, and speaking generally the 
standard of the exhibits were in advance of even the successful Show 
held at Kuala Lumpur last year.

341 Classes as follows : —

6. As regards the number of exhibits it is difficult to estimate 
them, but allowing however an average of 5 entries for each exhibi- 
tor, and 3 articles for each entry and deducting for those classes 
which did not fill there must have been over 20,000 exhibits.
