SECOND TRIAL. 



On November 6, all the cane having arrived, the second trial was made. 

 The experience of the first attempt had shown how the great loss of 

 sugar in the chips, especially in the beginning, might be avoided. The 

 second run was, therefore, made with an initial temperature of nearly 

 90 C. The quantity of juice withdrawn at each time was also increased 

 by 100 liters. 



Weight of cane used. The weight of cane used in the second trial was 

 83.25 tons.
