34i 
weighing 480 catties (5^ cwt). There were a good number of litters 
of pigs also. Goats were few and not very good. Sheep had all 
classes filled, the first prize Ewe sheep being exceptionally fine, the 
other exhibits were fair. 
Poultry. 
The exhibition of poultry was very good, and far in advance of 
last year’s Show. Mr. H. Wool won the prize for the champion 
with a grand pair of fowl. Two pens of Buff Cochins were highly 
admired and there was a good show of Bantams, Malay fowl, Sil- 
kies, and other breeds. Guinea fowl were not as good as last year, 
only one entry of a pair of good white birds being made. Muscovy 
ducks and Manila ducks were well shown, and the Geese were fine 
and in good condition. 
The Pigeons, Antwerps and Fantails were very good, but there 
aught to have been more entries. 
Of Cage-birds a number of different kinds were shown, Nicobar 
Pigeons, Pergam ( Carpophaga ), Hornbill, Parakeets, Crested Par- 
tridges, Avadabats and other birds. 
Rabbits, at one time a feature of Penang Shows, were not exhi- 
bited. Two lots of Guinea Pigs however created much interest 
among the Natives. 
Produce. 
The Butter which was rather extensively shown was very good, 
and there were many entries for Eggs, both of fowls and ducks, 
and some of the samples were exceptionally good. 
The Governor’s Cup. 
For the best general exhibit in Agricultural produce was carried 
off by Caledonia Estate, Kamuning coming second. This cup was 
judged for by a system of marks for first, second and third prizes, 
and for exhibits which did not take prizes but were worthy of being 
shown, Mr. MACHADO of Kamuning Estate won a cup given for the 
best general exhibit of the Show, shewing Para Rubber, Coconuts, 
Ginger, Oils, Papain and other drugs, Pepper black and white, 
Patchouli, Arrowroot, Betelnuts, Kapok, Coffee, Fibre, Citronella 
Oil, Coconut Oil, Sirih, Tapioca roots, Tea, Tuba, Turmeric, Chilis, 
Limes, Roses, Palms, Fowls, two breeds, Eggs, Caladiums, not a 
bad exhibition for a comparatively small estate. Caledonia estate 
showed Betelnuts, Arrowroot, Indigo, Rum, Rum shrub, Sugar- 
cane, Sugar, Patchouli, Cotton, Kapok, Coffee, Oil, Coconuts, 
Tapioca, Toddy and Rubber. Mr. Prior though showing less in 
variety did very well with his fine lot of produce, taking three prizes 
for Coconuts, one for Copra, two for Coffee, two for Rubber and a 
highly commended Fibre, which was about all he showed. 
Next Year’s Exhibition. 
At the suggestion of His Excellency the Governor the exhibition 
in 1906 will be held at Singapore about the end of July or begin- 
ning of August, and we shall hope to have as successful an exhibi- 
tion as the last.
