Sacramento, September 27th, 1875. 

 To Horace Adams, Horatio Hard, J. D. Lord, Committee : 



We wish to call your especial attention to a portion of our display at the late State Fair, 

 which, owing to neglect on our part, did not receive a proper entry. We should have made 

 special mention of it; and it is, we think, deserving of a silver medal. We refer to the patent 

 lubricators and oilers, the invention of Mr. J. E. Lonergan, and manufactured by Messrs. 

 Lonergan & McBride. Mr. Lonergan was, for a number of years, an engineer on the Central 

 Pacific Railroad, and while acting in that capacity conceived the idea of improving on the 

 oilers used on the engines. He succeeded in perfecting an article that for economy of oil and 

 convenience has never been equaled. 



The Central Pacific Railroad Company, recognizing the fact of their superiority over the old 

 cups, immediately adopted them, and they have given the best of satisfaction. They are now 

 used by the Virginia and Truckee Railroad Company, and several of tke leading Nevada mines. 



We think, for an invention of suck recent date, the demand speaks well for tkem. Messrs. 

 Lonergan & McBride found tkat as the manufacture of brass goods in this State was in its 

 infancy, as compared with the East, they could not (owing to their limited capital) have them 

 made to such good advantage here as at some of the older and better established factories in the 

 East, hence their reason for removing to that locality. They are both California men. The
