Dynamometer — Samuel Hurlbut. — A special committee was 

 appointed to test any dynamometers entered. The committee 

 was present until Friday morning, but did not find the dynamo- 

 meter or exhibitor, and no trial was had. The committee on 

 machinery supposing, it is presumed, that the dynamometer was 

 overlooked, reported a Silver Medal; as the award for the best dy- 

 namometer was on the printed schedule — but the dynamometer was 

 not entered on the list submitted to them. Tlie Executive Com- 

 mittee withhold the award until a trial can be had, which will be 

 given at any time when the instrument is presented for the 

 purpose. 



Byram's Patent Potato Digger. — H. W. Pitkin, Manchester, 

 Yt. — A strong, useful and durable implement — recommended for 

 a Diploma.

Barton's Reversible Plow. — This is a new plow, with a 

 moveable beam, entirely different from any one that has been 

 presented at our fairs. It has had thorough trial the past season, 

 on the public works on Cayuga lake, under the charge of the 

 Hon. George Geddes, and has given entire satisfaction, and has 

 diminished largely the expense of plowing the hard substances tp 

 be removed. The beam is attached to the share by a strong point 

 on the under side, and the point of the plow is attached to a 

 strong coulter attached to the center of the beam, so that which- 

 ever way the beam is turned the point goes with it, and the beam 

 is in the right position for work. It may be used as a double 

 mold board plow, but its great value consists in being a right or 

 left hand plow as needed.
