 literally damped by Monday's rain, once more bees

 not adapted for field use, was undertaken to-day by

Wilson and Co., Leeds. This machine is of a novel 

 character, being both portable and locomotive. During 

 the day the multitudes were delighted and amused by 

 the way in which it careered over the show ground,

 which act also as carrying wheels when travelling.

 completely boxed in, and it cannot suffer by exposure 

 to weather. This engine has the merit of che; 



design and strong construction. Price 180Z. 

 Threshing Machines tried and work done \ 



A little time was lost to Messrs. Barrett and Exall 

 in this last trial by a slight obstruction to the 

 work which occurred. Mr. Barker's machine ^ 

 too wide ; so wide that by endeavouring to do 

 quantity it was not so thoroughly cleaned as by the 

 other. The working of chaff machines, corn-dressers, 

 crushers, &c, was not timed.

 precludes us from giving any other than a few general
