 mond and Chandler, Howard, Tuxford, Page, Croskill,

 ing, finishing, and dressing machine for preparing corn 

 for market ; a corn dressing or winnowing machine, and

 this department, exclusive of a selection in the " sec- 

 tions" competing for prizes, and also in the department 

 of extra implements, amount to eleven, exhibit speci-

 chine, oil-cake mill. Their number of entries is six. 



In the department of " Extra implements and ma- 

 chines," which receive honorary premiums where spe- 

 cially commended, there are G7 entries. Among the 

 exhibitors in this department we notice the names and 

 some of the implements well-known in England. Mr. 

 Bentall exhibits a bean kibbler ; Mr. Boby his corn 

 screens; Mr. Cranston, his grass-mowing machine; 

 Mr. Crosskill's trustees, their famous carts ; Mr. James 

 Isaac's liquid manure cart; James Reeves and Co., chain 

 or bush harrow ; Richmond and Chandler, Nicholson's 

 hay-making machine, and their horse driving gear ; 

 Williamson Brothers, of Kendal, their steam engines and 

 their turbine. Of the Scotch exhibitors in this depart- 

 ment we notice the names of Chaplin and Co., of Glas- 

 gow, who show specimens of their steam engines, port- 

 able and stationary. The latter is used by the Society 

 for pumping water from the river to supply the show 

 yard. Caldow and McKinnel enter a centrifugal pump, 

 turnip-cutter, and portable steam engines. Rawdin, of 

 Jedburgh, sheep-dipping apparatus ; Rowe, of Lang- 

 ham, locomotive sheep -dipping apparatus; as well as 

 Bigg, who brings his from England. 



We are compelled to defer all notice of the novelties, 

 in the various sections. This, however, will bo better 

 done in a series of papers which are designed to follow, 

 in which a complete review of the implements ex- 

 hibited will be given, and comparative observations in- 

 stituted between Scotch and English agricultural 

 mechanism ; wherever such observations are likely to 

 elicit information or discussion of a useful nature.
