The 2iul I'rize of was awarded to . . Mr. IBeiitall. 
The .'!rd Prize of 2/. was awarded to . . Richmond and Cliaiidler. 
And Page and Co. received a high commeudation. 
But veiy few mills were exhibited in Classes 8 and 9. We selected several 
for trial, but two only were tried. One of these when fed with barley did its 
work well, both in producing fine meal and a coarser sort for feeding purposes ; 
but the operation was so exceedingly slow, and the power required so exces- 
sive, that we felt bound to withhold the prizes altogether. 
Linseed and Corn Crushers adapted to Hand-vower. 
In this class also there were but few exhibitors, it being found very much 
more economical to apply steam or horse power to this work. We tried, how- 
ever, three machines ; both in crushing linseed and oats the work was 
exceedingly good, especially if we take into account the power used. There 
was nothing particularly new in either of them to call for special com- 
ment ; we worked them all five minutes, mechanical time, weighed the pro- 
duce of both linseed and oats, and recorded the power required by each mill 
for each kind.

Bone and Bone-dust Mills. 
In this class we had five bone and two bone-dust mills for trial. We tried 
each mill five minutes, and observed the quality and quantity of the work 
done, and decided as follows : * — 
Far Bone Mills. 
The Prize of 5l. was awarded to The Trustees of W. Crosskill. 
The Prize of 5l. was awarded to The Trustees of W. Crosskill. 
Highly commended Picksley and Sims. 
Commended Oldham and Booth. 
Bone-dust Mills. 
The Prize of 10/. was awarded to The Trustees of W. Crosskill. 
And commended Oldham and Booth. 
* The dynamometer could not be applied to these trials in consequence of the 
great amovtnt of power required by some of the mills at a low rate of speed.
