(3838), and George Ball (4089), and a more splendid collection of really 
substantial and well-built waggons was never placed together, the workman- 
ship of some being most excellent. Four tons of iron were placed on each 
waggon, equally divided on the centre of the front and hind wheels, and the 
•dynamometer then applied. 
Hayes (732) won the first prize of this class ; better workmanship than it 
exhibited could not possibly be seen. This waggon was very strongly built, of 
solid ehn plank sides If inch thick, frame entirely of English oak, very strong, 
fitted with double shafts, fixed sideboards, well ironed, and with loose side 
■and end boards for carrying manure ; head and tail ladders were well secured 
with body-boards of elm, 1 inch thick, fitted with double break of 2| by f iron 
(passing under the body, and giving additional strength to the waggon) ; it is 
quick, powerful, and easy in action. The wheels are very strong and well made, 
with 3 by 7 tyre, axle 3 inches square (short), and secured by a strong plate 
of i inch iron underneath ; price 35?. 
To the Beverley Waggon Co. (1716) we awarded the second prize. This 
waggon is well built, strong, and fitted with a pole (Yorkshire fashion). The 
framework is all of the best English oak, with red pine sides of Ij inch thick, 
supported and strengthened on the outside by strong oak stowers ; the ironwork 
throughout is of sufficient strength, iron axles through and fitted vfith patent 
wheels, of 3 inches by f tyre, drag-chain, and shoe. There are no head or tail 
ladders attached, nor any loose side-boards for carrying bones, which for most 
counties would be considered a deficiency ; price 37?., double shafts extra, 11. 10s. 
Under this class were exhibited drays or lurries, we therefore agreed to 
award no third prize, but to give the remaining sum of 5?. as a prize to the 
best lurry. 
Four were selected and tickets attached for trial. Four tons of iron were 
placed upon each, as upon the " other waggons," and the dynamometer then 
applied; the result will be seen in the schedule annexed, as also the weight 
of each. All the lurries were fitted with strong springs, and it is shown in the 
schedule that though the weight of the lurries but slightly exceeded that of 
some of the waggons, the draught was beyond — in some instances much 
beyond — of the waggons carrying the same weight. 
The Beverley Waggon Co. (1804) and (1800), Hayes (737), and Humphrey 
Bracewell (4058), were the exhibitors. To the Beverley Co. (1804) we gave the 
prize. It was a very strong well-built lurry, length 13 feet, by 6 feet wide, 
frame of English oak, wheels with patent axles, and six inches convex tyre, 
and took the least draught ; price 44?. 10s.
