caused to emerge in spray for sprinkling plants, etc., thus combining 

 three useful features in a hose pipe nozzle for domestic use. We 

 recommend that the exhibitor be awarded a second premium for an 

 improved hose pipe sprinkler. 



Hose. 



No. 1081. Linen Hose. — New England Manufacturing Co., Bos- 

 ton, Mass. 



Upon examination we find this hose to be a very fine article of its 

 class, and worthy of a second premium. 



Lubricators, Oil Cups, &c. 

 . No. 175. Case of Lubricators^ Oil Cups, Bills, Valves, <&c. — 

 Broughton & Moore, New York city. 



The display of lubricators, oil caps, bibbs, valves, &c., was highly 

 creditable to this establishment. In regard to this oil cup, we find 

 that it is capable of the most accurate adjustment, and tlie glass 

 reserving at all times exhibits the height of the supply. "We recom- 

 mend that these exhibitors be awarded a first premium for the best 

 positive feed oil cup on exhibition. 



No. 216. Oil Cup.—K. W. Harris, Providence, R. I. 



We were much pleased with this oil cup, and fully appreciated the 

 superior manner in which the regulating stem is supported. But the 

 reservoir was not made of glass, and we consider this a very desira- 

 ble feature in oil cups, as it is a guard against carelessness on the 

 part of engineers. 



No. 540. American Oil Feeder. — J. B. Wickersham, Philadel- 

 phia, Pa. 



This oiler conveys the oil, by means of a" wick braided upon a 

 wire, from the reservoir over a tube which extends nearly to the 

 top thereof, and down through the same to the journal. The size of 

 wick used regulates the quantity delivered. Written evidence pre- 

 sented to us from users of the oil cup, shows that the oil cup will 

 deliver " an ounce of oil in one month, or an ounce in a year," and 

 hence it is called by its inventor a " Graduated Oil Feeder," and 

 styled " The American Oil Feeder." A large number, over fifty, of 

 these oil feeders were applied to the shafting, and used during the 

 entire time of the exhibition this year, and we learn that they gave 

 entire satisfaction. We recommend that a second premium be 

 awarded John B. Wickersham for " The American Oil Feeder."
