bition, and in order for your judges to arrive at a positive conclusion 

 as to which one was best, we selected the three most prominent 

 and tried them by actilal test, and find the "Eureka," No. 1239, to 

 be the best. It is the simplest and most complete, making a better 

 cofiee, for the quantity used, than any other. It condenses the 

 steam, and thus saves the aroma, and therefore entitled to the first 

 premium. {Value, 2d class medal.) 



No. 210. {E. K. Sargent.) Alarm Coffee Boiler. — This is an 

 excellent article, being a perfect steam condenser, thus saving the 

 aroma, making an excellent coffee for the quantity used, and has, 

 besides, for its merits, an alarm whistle, telling when the cofiee is 

 sufficiently boiled, which is certainly an improvement. We think 

 it worthy of the second premium. {Value, ?>d class medal.) 



We also consider the following articles worthy of honorable 

 mention: 



No. 962. {JS'ew York Stoneware Company.) Stone and Earth- 

 enavare. — A good article, and very handsomely finished. 



No. 345. {E. Richmond.) Eacks for Whips, Brooms, Brushes, 

 &c. — This article is an improvement for holding the articles named, 

 whips in particular; and for them, the most desirable article ever 

 offered to the public. 



All of whicli is most respectfully submitted.

To the Board of Managei^s : 



Gentlemen — The undersigned judges in Department No. II, 

 Group No. 2, report that they have carefully examined the several 

 articles referred to them. Taken collectively, these specimens of 

 skill and ingenuity furnish evidence of continued advance and 

 improvement in the methods used to accomplish a desired end. In 

 deciding upon the comparative value of the samples entered for

 impartially the evidences of utility found in each. The following 

 is the result of the deliberations of the judges; articles of the same 

 class are given in their relative order of merit, together with a
