 The judges, in conclusion, beg to recommend that, on future 



occasions, the implements be, as much as practicable, classi- 

 fied and arranged according to the premium list. If this was 

 done, much time would be saved, and the judges thereby en- 

 abled to have a trial of such implements as cannot be fairly 

 tested without trial, which they regret they have been unable 

 on this occasion to accomplish. (Sijrned) Rich**d Cltbcrn,
