JVo. 1120 — Car Coupliyig. 

 D. A. Hopkins, N.Y. Agents, Taulman & Low, 157 Broadway. 

 This coupling is self-connecting, works well, and meets our ap- 

 probation. [^ silver medal awarded. 



J\'o. 140 — Railroad Jack. 

 Carpenter & Powers, 432 Tenth street. It has a vertical and 

 horizontal action, and vice versa as the power is applied. It 

 is an excellent apparatus for getting locomotives or cars on the 

 track; simple in its construction, and we would recommend their 

 use on all railroads. \^A silver medal awarded. 



JYo. 831 — Locomotive, Tender, Car, Tracks, ^c. 

 H. P. Robinson, 128 West 23d street. It is designed for the 

 Pacific Railroad, to run one hundred miles per hour. Good for 

 the purpose intended but too expensive in ordinary cases. 



[^ silver medal awarded. 

 JYo. 917— Railroad Car Wheel. 

 Peter Dorsch, Schenectady, N. Y. Is the best car wheel. Tliis 

 wheel is corrugated, and in its construction is excellent. It has 

 been run under an eight wheeled freight car 45.100 miles and has 

 the appearance of a new wheel. In construction, it is our opin- 

 ion, the best in use, and is deserving of more than ordinary 

 notice. [Ji silver medal awarded.

 Paterson Iron Co., Paterson, N. J., agents, C. B. Raymond & 

 Co., 45 Cliff street. Consisting of locomotive connecting rods,

 are a good specimen of forgings made for exhibition.
