This prize was awarded to Messrs. Richmond and Chandler. It will be 

 seen above that their machine produced the greatest amount of chaff per 

 horse-power, and the quality of it was very superior. The knives are in quite 

 a new form, and promise to be very effective. Its price also is very moderate. 

 The judges beg to commend the machine of Messrs. Smith, of Stamford, for 

 a side lever, by which the feeder can reverse the action of the machine (even 

 if both hands should be caught in the rollers), by pressing his body against 

 the lever. They are of opinion, from the number of accidents that have 

 occurred, that all chaff-machines driven b}' horse or steam power should be 

 perfectly under the control of the feeder under all circumstances, and suggest 

 that in future none be eligible for prizes that are not so arranged.

I Judges' Report — (Miscellaneous Class.) 



Waggons. — There were only two persons who exhibited for this prize, 

 Crosskill and Ball ; and although neither of the waggons was faultless, they 

 were both thought to possess sufficient merit to deserve the prize, which was 

 divided between them. The judges recommend in future that both the hind 

 and fore wheels should be put further forward on the body, particularly when 

 the fore wheels are kept low for the purpose of turning ; they also think the 

 fore wheels need not be made so strong as the hind ones. 



Turnip Cutters. — The three following were tried, and the result appears 

 below : but from the defective construction of Burgess and Key's, the prize was 

 awarded to Sanmelson's. The sample when cut for sheep by the two machines 

 above named was equal, but for cattle Burgess and Key's had the advantage.
