that tlie public on entering the show-yard on the first day may be guided 

 as they proceed to the implements that have won the prizes, and there- 

 fore may be presumed to be entitled to their special attention. The imple- 

 ment department grows with a steady and a wholesome growth. At the 

 Oxford Meeting 20 exhibitors contended for bl. and two medals. At Bury 

 nearly 500 implements were catalogued, and 430?. besides ten silver medals 

 were left to the disposal of the judges ! 



Believing that it is essential to future and increased success and usefulness, 

 and due alike to exhibitors and the public, that, after a fair and satisfactory 

 trial has been instituted by competent judges, the best implements in each 

 class should be pointed out on the first day of entrance into the show-yard, 

 we respectfully commend the subject to the consideratio.i of the Coimcil. 



We beg to tender oiu- sincere thanks to the Stewards of Implements for the 

 excellence of their arrangements.

James Bragging (o4G), Strong Oak Gate with Patent Ironwork. 



Commendations : 



James D. Young (923), Iron Gate. 

 Frs. Morton and Co. (288), Iron Gate.

 Saint Pancras Iron Company (1882), Iron Gate. 



Of Field Gates entered for competion there was a great assortment, more 

 especially of those made of iron, many of which wc have commended ; but as 

 iron gates are considered to be less generally useful on the farm, the prize 

 was awarded to a gate made of oak, very strong, simple in its construction, 

 easily repaired (being fastened together with small bolts), with patent iron- 

 work, which is merely a screw attached to the top of the gate, serving for 

 a hinge, allowing the gate to be readily raised or lowered at the point.
