LONDON, 1911. 
The “India Rubber World” (New York) 
TROPHY 
(VALUED AT $1,000). 
This Trophy of silver is a Cup fifty inches in height, and is of most artistic 
design aud workmanship. The stem of the cup represents a trunk of the 
Castilloa Elastica, beside which is depicted a man with a rubber-tapping knife 
in one hand aud a calabash in the other, tapping the tree m the destructive 
manner common to wild-rubber gatherers. The upper part of the tree trunk 
terminates in a cluster of Castilloa Elastica leaves, which hold a vase, graceful in 
form, the centre panel bearing the inscription : 
“The India Rubber World Trophy, for the Best System of Extracting 
Latex from the Castilloa Elastica. International Rubber xhibition, 
London, 1911.” 
The middle of the border, at the top, shows a raised hemisphere of the countries 
in which the Castilloa Elastica thrives. On each side is a frieze of planted 
Castilloas. The Trophy, in American butler and French grey style, represents 
a value of «1,000, and the well-known silversmiths, Dieges & Clust, New 
York, are the makers. 
The Cup is offered specifically for the solution of the Castilloa Elastica 
oroblem. It is well to remember, however, that if this is satisfactorily solved, 
1 new value will be placed upon the sapiums, funtumia, ficus, gtttta perchas 
of all kinds, including jelutong, as well as the Castilloa Elastica ulei.
