348 Report on the Exhibition and Trial of Implements 



cellaneous," are respectfully placed in the hands of the Senior- 

 Steward for examination and approval. 



(Signed) James Hall Nalder.

Note. — No award was made by the Judges on Prize No. 23 in the Glou- 

 cester Prize Sheet ; no collection of Agricultural Tools for Hand-Labour ap- 

 peared to have been made by any exhibitor. . The description in the Prize 

 Sheet was so vague and general that the decision was confined to the Prize 

 No. 8 for the best Instruments for Hand-use in Drainage. 



M. AV. Ridley, Senior-Steward. 



Steam-Engines. 



In reporting to you on the steam-engines exhibited and tested 

 at the meeting of the Society at Gloucester last month, we beg to 

 state that, in consequence of the lowest consumption of fuel per 

 horse-power having hitherto been taken as the measure of merit, 

 we felt that, without the exhibitors having had previous intima- 

 tion to the contrary, we should not be justified in deviating from 

 this course on the present occasion, and have therefore made 

 this the basis of our award, although, in other respects, several 

 objections existed, to which we will hereafter advert. 



The following tables contain the actual results of the several 

 engines tested: —
