Scrap was rather poorly represented, probably because it was 
not allotted a class in the original Schedule. Rambong, too, was 
scanty, but the cultivation of this has nearly died out. Among the 
exhibits from other countries than Malaya, Capt. Coispellier, and 
Baron Issaverden staged a series of samples from Cochin-China with 
photographs showing manufacturing scenes, and some excellent 
crepe came from Sumatra. But perhaps the most striking was the 
sample of Ceara sheet from Wiling, in Java. It was clean, of good 
colour, and remarkably strong. This Ceara is grown at a consider- 
able altitude in Java, 2000 feet and upwards, -and seems to do remark- 
ably well there. It was indeed the finest sample of Ceara rubber 
we have ever seen. 
Despite the large representation of this section one looked in 
vain for a novelty or general advance in preparation over previous 
Shows. The Da Costa treatment of latex found a place in crepe and 
block but in neither instance appealed to the Judges as satisfactory. 
The smoked balls or spindles coagulated after the Brazilian method 
from the Botanic Gardens, Singapore, were the most unusual exhibit 
and this rubber may contain more latent possibilities than is yet 
realised. Undoubtedly, the best advance in treatment of well-known 
methods was the smoked sheet put up by Highlands and Lowlands 
who carried off 3 firsts and one second prize, as well as the champion- 
ship cup of the Show, presented by the United Planters’ Association. 
Another fine exhibit came from Linggi Plantations in the form of blan- 
ket crepe which secured Mr. H. M. Darby’s cup. Both Vallambrosa 
and Bukit Rajah put up well prepared exhibits, and very clean, even, 
samples of sheets came from Glenealy who secured the Kelantan 
Planters’ Association cup. Lanadron block secured the handsome 
cup presented by H. H. the Sultan of Johore for the best commercial 
sample, in which class Highlands and Lowlands obtained Mr. Tan 
Chey Yan’s cup— being bracketed second— with Linggi Plantations. 
Messrs. Barlow & Co.’s cup for the best sample of crepe was 
carried off by Seafield Estate, Caledonia obtaining Messrs. Hogg & 
Co.’s cup, the second prize. 
In Para sheet, Malacca Plantations were the winners of the cup 
presented by the Malay Peninsula Agricultural Association, the 
second prize or cup offered by the proprietors of Raffles Hotel falling 
to Glenealy Estate. 
For smoked sheet Mr. H. N. Ridley’s cup went to Highlands 
and Lowlands, the second prize or Mr. E. M. Janion’s cup to Bukit 
Rajah. 
In Para block, dry, Lanadron Estates received the “Straits 
Times” cup, Vallambrosa being second, thus obtaining Messrs. Hogg 
& Co.’s second cup. 
For the “ best exhibit ready for shipment ” — a cup presented by 
Messrs. Tan Jiak Hoe, Tan Jiak Kim, and Tan Jiak Choo was 
awarded to Highlands and Lowlands and this exhibit also obtained
