It is unnecessary for your Board of Managers to particularize 

 the numerous articles on exhibition ; suffice to say, there never 

 has been such an array of new and useful improvements as were 

 exhibited in the mechanic arts, especially in the department of 

 machinery. To give motion to the several articles, steam engines 

 and boilers to an amount of over ninety horses were required. 

 The space to locate the same extended into and occupied a large 

 portion of the main building, after filling the machine arcade. 

 Steam engines with massive belt wheels, steam fire engines, 

 pumps in great variety, s!one sawing, wood turning, sawing and 

 planing machines, barrel machinery, and all the varieties of mor- 

 tising, tenoning, and other tools for working wood in all forms. 

 An atmospheric trip-hammer, of great value, gold and quartz 

 separators, cotton and wool machinery, printing presses, a book 

 folding machine of great novelty, lathes and planers for iron, gas 

 and electrical apparatus, with various other machines, too exten- 

 sive to enumerate, gave life and great interest to the grand dis- 

 play of American industry. 



The managers beg leave to acknowledge the courtesy extended 

 to them by railroad and steamboat companies, who agreed to 

 return free of charge all articles brought by them to the exhibition, 

 which had not changed ow;iership.
