154 [Assembly 



Under entry no 65, there was exhibited manufactured drain tile 

 and pipe, but no machine for its manufacture. The tile produced 

 was manufactured at Clinton, Oneida county, by J. W. Gregory, 

 and at a cost of from fourteen to forty-two cents per rod, varying 

 according to size, of which fifteen different sizes Vvere exhibited. 

 The pipe varied also in price according to size, from §6 to $12 the

 and in the judgment of the committee, afford a cheap and durable 

 article of much practical utility.

 heavy weight, and some improvements to prevent friction and ar- 

 rive at accurate results, still the committee cannot award to it a 

 premium, as " being so arranged as to be readily removed.

 greyhounds, lions, &c., from the manufactory of Janes, Bebee &

 ecuted, meriting such award as the discretion of the Society may 

 deem proper. (Medal awarded by committee.)
