AGRICULTURAL SHOWS. 



Reply to 5386/02. 



Sir, — In reply to paragraph 2 of your printed letter. No. 5386, 

 dated 15th September, on the subject of Agricultural Shows, I have 

 the honour to inform you that this is a matter upon which I know 

 very little. I can only say that of course it is out of the question 

 to hold any such show in Pahang, and I fear the prohibitive cost of 

 transport will prevent Pahang taking any large share in shows held 

 elsewhere. 



2. Such being the case, it would appear to me to be preferable 

 to appoint each District Officer as an agent for the purpose set out 

 in Mr. CURTIS' paragraph 2, rather than appoint a Committee of 

 three who could seldom or never meet and would never have a 

 show to organise. 



I would suggest Kuala Lumpur as a suitable centre for the first 

 show. 



I have, etc., 



F. DUBERLY.
