least possible space, marked as entry No. 112. The committee 

 would award to it a small silver medal. P. C. Curtis, Utica. 



Entry JSTo. 118, was a cast iron curb for chain pumps, which for 

 cheapness of construction and some improvement to prevent an 

 accumulation of ice in winter, and the stop or latch upon the 

 wiieel, the committee consider as the most perfect article of the 

 kind presented, and worthy of the attention and patronage of the 

 public. It is manufactured by Downs & Co. The committee 

 would award for its superiority, a Diploma. 



There was exhibited from the manufactory of Downs & Co., 

 Seneca Falls, a number of superior iron pumps. The varieties 

 were: 1st. Those styled 'suction, lift and force pumps,' combining 

 the best quality of an ordinary pump, with the forcing power of 

 a fire engine. 2d. The ' lifting pump,' simple in its construction, 

 easily taken apart, seemed to the committee a very perfect 

 article. 3d The 'double lifting pump,' for deep wells, a superior 

 article, and well adapted for the purpose designed. 



From the same manufactory was exhibited a very perfect speci- 

 men of a garden engine. There was some competition in this 

 machine, but the one manufactured by Downs & Co.'semed to the 

 committee to be the most perfect in its arrangement and operation. 

 For this machine as well as for the above mentioned pumps, the 

 committee would recommend, a Silver Med;il.

Entry No. 147, presented a model vertical and horizontal hay 

 press. The first was low, portable, and exerted the pressure from

 consideration. S. Dederick, Albany, Silver Medal. 



Two stationary steam engines were examined, manulactured by 

 D. A. Woodbury & Co., Rochester, N. Y. They deserved con 

 sideration for compactness and superior mechanism, but no new 

 principle was contended for. The committee can only recom- 

 mend tliem as a very perfect and cheap article of the steam en- 

 gine. There was no competition. Silver Medal.
