trophy might, therefore, be offered for the best exhibit " of planta- 

 tion rubber in the Exhibition. I do not mean the best sample, but 

 the best stand (this was suggested by Mr. STAINES Manders), or 

 perhaps your trophy might be offered for the best sample from the 

 Malay Peninsula. In case you have not seen it, I send you herewith 

 the list of all the trophies which are being offered up to now, together 

 with the conditions of competition, so that you will be able to judge 

 if there is room for another. I may mention that a very handsome 

 silver trophy could be obtained for about £25. 



I have, &c.,
