Malacca. These figures show to what extent this Division was 
indebted to Perak for its exhibits. In embroidery alone Perak 
exhibited 35 specimens mostly of very fine work, two first prizes 
being awarded to entries from Kuala Kangsa, and Papan. Two 
second prizes were awarded to exhibits from Malacca, which sent 
20 entries, and was the only country approaching Perak in this 
■class. Other headings under which Perak exhibited largely were 
ornamental baskets, 22 entries, rope and twine, attaps, mats 
and serih sets. Mo'dels were very numerous. Of the model 
snares and traps 38 specimens came from Perak, very few indeed 
coming from elsewhere. Of the old silver-work practically the 
whole came from Perak (18 entries) and Selangor (7 entries) but 
the first prize was awarded to some new work by a Singapore 
silversmith. Under brass-ware nearly all the entries were from 
Perak, although a Penang exhibitor secured the first prize, l or % 
ornamental baskets 5 prizes were awarded, all going to the 
Malacca exhibitors. The tin-ware from Seremban was as usual 
a very conspicuous exhibit. The Malacca lace workers also 
attracted much attention, as did the sarong-weavers, and the 
Chinese drawn thread workers. There were some vepy handsome 
old kriss-sheaths shown, but in this, as in other cases, the 
preference was given to new work, the first prize going to a 
Butterworth exhibit. The latter part of the prize list, from 307 to 
314, callsfor no remarks, the prize-list which is in your hands showing 
the results. Class II (school-exhibits) was separately managed and 
judged. I enclose a few notes on matters of organisation, arrange- 
ment of the prize-list, etc., which may be of use in future shows. 
Thanks are due to Messrs. Coutts and Marriott for the great 
assistance rendered by them in the work of this Division.
