been unremitting in their efforts. In our brief notices of the 

 most prominent and new articles on exhibition, we shall avail 

 ourselves of the opinion expressed by our Judges generally, with 

 such remarks as our own personal examinations may have sug- 

 gested. 



From the Lowell machine shop, Lowell, Mass. — An engine 

 lathe, slotting machine, planing and drilling machines. An ex- 

 cellent display of tools. The planing machine is new for many 

 kinds of work, and the whole reflects much credit on the manu-

From E. & S. D. Gould, Heddenburgh Works, Newark, N. J. 

 A compound planing machine ; wheel tooth cutting machine, 

 and vertical drill. These tools as a whole are made well and

From Scranton & Parshley, New Haven, Conn., nine lathes ;

 counters, and platform. The exhibition sustained the well-es- 

 tablished reputation of the manufacturers, and are entitled to 

 high commendation. 



From S. G. McDougal, 238 Pearl st. Platform Scale ; this is 

 an improvement, as it does away with the weight generally used 

 on the lever by an ingenious arrangement of two levers. For 

 light weights it is deemed to be preferable. 



From Isaacs & Barling, 101 Wall st. Self clearing anchor. 

 Deemed by the judges a good article, less liable to get foul as the 

 vessel swings round. 



From Augustus Williams, Stillman Allen, & Co., Novelty 

 works, agent^^ An alarm wat^^r guage. Valuable as affording
