This prize was awarded to Messrs. Clayton and Shuttleworth. It will be 

 seen above that they had several very formidable competitors, and the above 

 list includes three or four other very excellent machines. Though not required 

 by the conditions of the prize-sheet, the last five in the above table had 

 blowers attached to them, and dressed the corn in a most satisfactory manner, 

 so that most of it would only require to be once dressed with a finishing 

 machine. The chief fault of these machines is their great height from the 

 ground to the feeding- stage. In this respect Messrs. Hornsby 's is much less 

 objectionable than any other. In some of them, also, the dressed corn falls 

 into confined spaces under the machines, and they would require great attention 

 when at work to prevent their being blocked up with corn. From this defect 

 those of Messrs. Clayton and Co., Hornsby and Son, and Ransome and Co, 

 ai'e exempt ; the two last delivering the corn into sacks if required. 



Fixed Thrashing Machines, not exceeding Six-horse Power, with Straw-shaker, Riddle, 

 and Winnower, that will best prepare the Corn for the finishing Dressing-Machine : to 

 be driven by Steam Power.
