British Guiana Exhibition. 291 
but others are most unsatisfactory as art products. 
Mention must, however, be made, of one specimen of 
pen and ink drawing, on linen, which was very clever. 
The sketches of British Guiana Scenery, by Surgeon 
Major ANTHONISZ shew what can be successfully done in 
a short time by a zealous artist. The two fans painted 
by Miss DAVSON would be appreciated in any art exhibi- 
tion in Europe. 
Some specimens of goat skins tanned with native and 
other materials appeared to be of excellent quality, and 
indicate a possibility of a small industry being success- 
fully cultivated in this direction. The Harness, Boots 
and Shoes shewn were commendable specimens. 
The photographs, including a bit of Dominica scenery, 
were many of them good. The scenery of this colony 
and the manners and customs of its inhabitants might 
have been more fully illustrated. 
CLASS VIII •— Machinery and. Models. 
This Section contained a Cane Mill constructed by the 
Demerara Foundry, to which, with a Pump made at the 
same establishment, the Judges awarded prizes. They 
were very creditable specimens of engineering work. 
The models were not numerous but two by "Artifex" 
and Mr. MORRISON, showing the construction of our 
kokers were well made. A clever reproduction of a 
labourer's hut was sent from St. Vincent, and one of a 
Buck hut by Mr. BREMNER obtained a prize. 
The buildings and cultivation of a sugar plantation 
were illustrated by two models ; but in the other exhibits 
there was little novelty or skill.
