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 questioi 
to hold any such show in Pahang, and I tear the prohibitive cost of 
transport will prevent Pahang taking any large share mallows held 
elsewhere. 
2. Such being the case, it would appear to me to be preferable 
to appoint each District Officer as an agent tor 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 
sh l would r fugge e st Kuala' Lumpur as a suitable centre for the iirst 
show.
