The Sixth Annual Agri-Horticultural Show was held in Penang, 
on the gth, loth and nth of August. The last Show here was held 
exactly four years ago and by a coincidence on the same dates. 
The occurrence of two public holidays in the week fixed for the 
Show was the primary reason for the selection of these dates, a 
factor of considerable importance to the officials connected with the 
management of the Show and also to the public in general. 
H. E. The Governor, Sir John Anderson. G.c.M-G., opened the 
Show in brilliant weather, and spoke at length on Agricultural topics 
and commented in detail on the advance made since the previous 
Show. 
1 he statistics given below set forth the advance that has been 
made, and justify the freely expressed opinion that it was the most 
successful Show of the series hitherto held.
