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 lor about £25. 
I have, &c., 
C. Taylor, 
Secretary.
