TRIPLE BILL 
I N order to attract more general attention to the above important Exhibitions, to inciea.x tin ii 
utility in every way possible, and also to afford exhibitors the possibility of securing 
a permanent endorsement in the shape of a Gold Medal together with a handsomely 
engraved Certificate as a proof of the excellence of the quality of their products, the 
Directors of “Tropical Life” have decided to place Five Gold Medals at the disposal oI 
Mr. Staines Mandkks, the Organising Manager, for competition by exhibitors in the first 
Five sections mentioned. To be eligible for entry, it must first he proved to the satisfaction 
of the Judges that the Produce has been dried, cured or otherwise prepared for shipment, by 
machinery, or other labour-saving and mechanical appliances which can be. classified as machineiy 
to tbe satisfaction of the Judges. Purely sun-dried produce, or band-cleaned fibre (even when 
the latter is dragged by hand through knives, as with Manila Hemp in the Philippines), will 
not be eligible. Engineers whose machines have prepared tbe exhibits, as well as planters, 01 
shippers of the produce from the other side, will be eligible to enter tbe lists. 
To the above, Two Gold Medals and Certificates have been added by Mr. \ ictok Hamki,

efficient and useful spray for pest extermination in Coco-nut Palms. Cacao, Rubber, and other 
trees, as well as for general use on Tropical and Sub-Tropical Instates.
