ONR fact which emerged from the British Empire Fair was the im- portance and variety of vegetable produce grown in the New Terri- tories by the peasant farmers. Owing to the low prices charged practically all the exhibits on this stall were sold out during the first two days and, had more been forthcoming, there is no doubt that it also would have been disposed of immediately. This suggests that there is a very real demand in this Colony for fruits and vegetables

"With regard to the number of people who visited the Fair, no exact conception could ever have been formed but it is estimated that over 200,000, of whom more than 90 per cent. were Chinese, viewed the various exhibits.
"Large as this number of people was, it is a singular fact that throughout the four days of the Fair, not one untoward incident occurred. This goes to, show how orderly and well-behaved were the large number of the visiwis of all classes that attended.
