RUBBER SECTION. 
A considerable amount of past experience in arranging these 
Shows has been brought to bear on this most important section with’ 
the result that a schedule has been prepared containing only eight 
classes, which are considered to cover all grades of rubber now being 
exported without offering that opportunity for confusion amongst the 
judges which is inevitable when a large number of classes, many of 
them more or less duplicates, are included. 
Rubber Planters will be pleased to know that arrangements have 
been made whereby, the Rubber Exhibition will be held in the Volun- 
teer Drill Hall a commodious and lock —fast building situated at one 
end of the show grounds. This is an ideal t building for the purpose, 
offering ample space to exhibit the rubber to the best advantage and 
a decided advance oh the open attap shed of the past where theft 
was easy and exhibits were not displayed to the best advantage. 
Valuable 1st and 2nd prize silver cups are offered for the best 
exhibits in each class for Para Rubber ( Hevea brasiliensis) and 
silver and bronze medals are offered for Rambong Rubber {Ficus 
elastica) and any other kinds. 
The United Planters’ Association of Malaya has graciously 
consented to present the championship cup for the best .general exhi- 
bit of Rubber,
