advertisement, and because I have been of some use to the editors of 
the paper, in introducing them; I think they have treated us very 
well. Please send copies to His Excellency the Governor, to the Hon. 
the Government Secretary, and to the Assistant Government Secre- 
tary, etc. 
I have to say also that we have an award in the Transportation Building 
for our exhibits of boats of different kinds—and that two awards are 
declared for us in Forestry, one to the Government exhibit and one 
to Messrs. Park and Cunningham for set of woods. As they have classed 
the logs of timber and the panels of ornamental woods, as one exhibit, in 
spite of my separate entry, I have made formal protest and complaint, 
pointing out the special nature of, and the marked difference between 
the two exhibits, and stating that the two exhibits, separately, are as 
much entitled to award as they were recognised to be colle€tively —the 
more especially when compared with others in the whole exhibition, 
where these two exhibits are simply unique and unsurpassed, What 
the result will be I can’t say. 
I have also lodged formal protest against the judges in sugars, since 
they have utterly ignored the refining crystals, 1st and 2nd molasses and 
muscovado sugar. I have pointed out that the sugar trade with the 
United States consists entirely of these classes of sugars, and that it is 
the great bulk of our trade, and of special manufacture for the special 
market: and that it is as rational to judge these sugars in competition 
with white and yellow crystals, as it would be to judge any raw sugars 
against refined. What the result here will be, I cannot tell. 
The other lists are not yet out, so I cannot say what may have been 
gained besides, but I know we have several others, In haste, very 
faithfully yours,

Dear Sir,—1I wrote you last week officially to catch the Dutch Mail 
Steamer “ Prins Willem II.” sailing on the 21st; but I send this by 
the “ Tjomo” to say that I have got your letter safely, and those of 
Mr. Rodway and Mr. Conyers with the drafts for the $800 from the 
Imperial Institute Committee. I have written to Mr. Conyers to 
acknowledge the receipt. 
I feel quite comfortable and relieved now with the money in hand; for 
I shall have funds enough to meet whatever expenditure may arise 
until money from sales comes in, without touching what should be left
