[A diploma awarded. 

 JVo. 1176 — Cloud Engine. 

 Cloud Engine Co., N. Y., Wm. M. Storm, agent. This engine 

 claims to work with great economy of fuel. As we do not com-

 large steamers. \^Ko award made. 



JVo. 1G76 — Ignition Engine. 

 Alfred Drake, Philadelphia, Pa. A novelty worthy of great praise. 

 Its action solves the question of the availibility of the force of

 experiments are necessary to determine its value on the score of 

 economy. The inventor deserves an expression of very high ap-

committee to examine.
