Division B. 
13. Flowers , Fruits and Vegetables . — This Division which held 
a most prominent position just at the Entrance Gate was in charge 
of Mr. S. E. A. Linton who must be congratulated on its very neat 
and effective arrangement. It may be said that so far as the plants 
and flower sections are concerned it was the best display that has as 
yet been seen. At the entrance to the buildings (which was in the 
form of a cross) and on both sides some fine groups of plants sent by 
the Botanic Gardens, not for competition, were most artistically 
arranged, whilst central tables filled with flowering plants, such as 
Dahlias, Cockscombs, Chrysanthemums, Asters, Orchids, etc., made 
a picturesque vestibule to the competitive groups. The collection of 
vegetables from the Government Gardens on the Perak Hills was 
a^ain an attractive feature, occupying the central portion of the 
building, the various vegetables being all excellently grown. The 
plants in the competitive classes were numerous and on the whole 
fairly well-grown-flowers, including table decorations, were good 
Considering that so far as Penang was concerned the fruit season was 
practically over, the Fruit Section generally was well filled, the Dukus, 
Chikus, and Mangoes being the best. Enormous numbers of limes 
were staged, and Pisangs were also largely shown, one Exhibitor 
showing no less than 52 varieties. The Section for Preserved Fruits 
was also good : Mr. Alexander’s fine collection of Chutneys, Pickles, 
and Jellies being far the most prominent Exhibit of this kind. 
Division C. 
14. Cattle and Poultry . — This Division was in charge of Mr. 
Elton Bell; speaking generally, the cattle were more numerously 
shown than at the previous Shows. Pigs, Sheep and Goats were 
about the same in number as on previous occasions. The Sectioh 
for poultry, however, was the outstanding feature of this Division; no 
less than 2QO Exhibitors entered. The standard of excellence on the 
whole was not very high, there were few excellent birds, and in many 
cases, ordinary fowls were sent in that stood no possible chance of 
gaining a prize. 
Division D. 
15. Horses and Dogs . — This popular Division was in charge of 
Mr. W. H. MacArthur, and was very well patronised. Mr. Macmillan’s 
fine English horses sent up from Singapore carried away first honours 
with the utmost ease, but notwithstanding this, competition in 
several classes was keen. Dogs were well shown and some splendid 
animals were sent in. 
Division E. 
16. This is the second largest Division and probably the most 
interesting, was in charge of Mr. B. Nunn ably assisted by Mr. G. A. 
Hall ; they had to deal with 499 Exhibitors whose Exhibits were 
more than usually representative. The Exhibits coming from all 
places, from Brunei on the one hand to Kedah on the other, in most
