Management. 
The Committee for the show was a very large one, but the 
whole work of the show really devolved on a very small number of 
workers. Fortunately they had the assistance of a number of the 
visitors from the Native States, who materially assisted in the 
arrangement and judging of the exhibits. 
The buildings were planned and executed by Mr. R. A. J. 
Bid well and were far the best both in design and plan of any at 
previous shows, and very much more extensive. The general 
arrangements for the exhibition were effected by Mr. Bid well, Mr. 
Diepenheim, the Hon. Secretary and Mr. J. S. Isaac (Clerk of 
the Gardens Department) assisted after the opening of the 
exhibition by Messrs. Marriott, Hall, Edlin, Hilton and Buckley. 
The arrangement and judging of exhibits were as follows: — 
Agricultural Section : — Mr. L. Brown, A. J. C. Hart, D. W. Lovell, 
F. H. Darke, Hon. Sec., Mr. W. Diepenheim, Mr. E. Brarnall. 
Fruits, flowers and vegetables : — Mr. Down, Dr. Ellis, Mr. Pereira, 
Mr. Campbell, Mr. Main, Mr. Chua Kim Keat. Rubber: — 
Mr. Zacharias. 
Native Industries: — Messrs. Collinge, Wray, Simmons, 
Chevallier, C.M. Phillips, W. S. Coutts, E. F. H. Edlin. Cattle: — 
Mr. Falshaw, Mr. H. A. Crane. Poultry: — Mr. W. L. Hawtrey, 
Mr. C. L. van Cuylenburg. 
Horses: — Mr. Gaunt, Mr. Sugden, Payne-Gallwey, j. B. 
Young, F. Hilton, J. D. Saunders, Major-General Inigo Jones, 
Colonel Pennefather. 
Dogs: — Messrs J. D. Saunders, K. A. Stevens, Capt. Hon. 
C. Baring, F. Hilton and P. S. Turnbull. 
The thanks of the Committee are due to the Government of 
the F. M. S. who were good enough to carry exhibits free and 
exhibitors over their railways and to the Manager of the Singapore 
Railway who did the same. The Straits Steamship Company 
also gave a rebate of 25 per cent, of the freight of exhibits and the 
native visitors had also the use of the “Sea Belle” to come and 
return from Malacca and Penang. 
The number of native visitors from the Native States was 
about 750, affd there was some difficulty in housing them at first. 
The only available building in Singapore large enough for them was 
the new Tan Tock Seng Hospital ward, but this was so far away 
from town as to be practically inaccessible to them, and even- 
tually they were housed in various parts of the town, their expenses 
being paid out of the exhibition funds. 
There were also visitors from Ceylon, Burmah, India and two 
delegates from the Botanic Gardens of Buitenzorg and many 
others from the Dutch Colonies. 
Exhibitors . 
The whole of the Federated Malay States and the different 
parts of the Colony sent exhibits to the show, viz., Singapore, 
Malacca, Penang, Province Wellesley, Johore, Muar, Pahang,
