SECOND GROUP. 



Gentlemen — The undersigned, judges in Department II, Group 

 2, report that they have carefully examined the several articles 

 referred to them. Taken collectively, these specimens of sldll and 

 ingenuity furnish evidence of continued advancement and improve- 

 ment in the methods used to accomplish a desired end. We find 

 the majority of articles in Department 2, Group 2, unworthy of 

 either honorable mention or a premium, and therefore ignore them 

 altogether in this report, and mention only those deemed worthy 

 of consideration. Your committee of judges for this group have 

 visited the Institute on several occasions, both day and evening, 

 and could not find any person to explain the merits of the articles 

 they had entered for exhibition, in the majority of cases, the 

 owners seeming to consider them in the same light as the judges, 

 viz: of no particular account. The following are the articles wliich 

 the judges deem worthy of mention, viz: 



No. 228! (H. F. Fo^-hush & Co.) Bread Kneading and Mixing 

 Machine. — This appears a very useful invention, and has the merit 

 of doing its work thoroughly and eifectually. It requires but 

 about ten minutes to mix and thoroughly knead for baking. It is 

 very easily cleaned; in- fact, it is a self-cleaner, and its moderate 

 cost will place it in the hands of most families who prefer their 

 own made bread to that made by bakers. We think it worthy of 

 a first premium. {Value, 2d class medal.) 



No. 782. {3Irs. H. H. Cole.) Fluting Machine.— This is the 

 only article of the kind on exhibition, invented by an American, 

 being the invention of its exhibibitor, Mrs. Cole. We consider 

 this superior to any machine of the kind in use; its merits being a 

 lever, graduated by a weight instead of a screw or foot pressure, 

 which makes it work more uniform, and not so liable to injure the 

 article fluted. We think it worthy of a first premium. {Value, 2d 

 class mi'dal.)
