tlressiug macliines and screens obtained our best attention ; the vibrating 
motion given to the screens secures perfect separation. Edward Page and Co. 
show a cajjital stand of ploughs, harrows, chaff-cutters, horse-hoes, horse- 
rakes, &c., &c. ; also their small but very effective brick and tile machines. 
The St. I'ancras Company exhibited a splendid stand : we commended their 
stable-fittings, and, had our rules permitted us, we should have highly com- 
mended the whole stand. At Brown and May's stand wc fovmd Romaine's 
admirable models of his rotating cultivator and endless railway — the latter a 
great improvement upon the Boydel's shoes. Holmes and Sons had a good 
stand : their new machine for cleaning chaff from dust, seeds, straw, &c., we 
thought worthy of special remark. W. Weeks had a good stand of imple- 
ments and apparatus, chiefly connected with the cultivation and subsequent 
management of hops : we had the pleasure of awarding him a silver medal 
for his apparatus for drying hops, invented by P. S. Punnett, Esq. Hill and 
Smith's stand comprised an excellent and very extensive assortment of goods 
in their especial department, liarrows, rollers, iron gates, rick-stands, wire- 
fencing, tree-guards, ornamental entrances, &c., &c. : we awarded them a high 
commendation for their iron vermin-proof rick-stand. Amies and Barford had 
a good stand : their mode of fixing Lyne's .stile in strained wire fencing 
is good. George Foord had an excellent stand of first-class implements ; many 
of Howard's implements were on it : we awarded him a high commendation 
for his very compact and cheap parish school-desk. E. H. Bentall had one of 
the best and most extensive stands in the yard : we would gladly have 
marked our high approval of it." Brown and Co. had a very attractive stand, 
consisting of lawn-mowers, iron hiu-dles, gates, vases, garden-seats, flower- 
stands, netting, &c., &c., in great variety. Greening and Co. exhibited their 
sujierior collection of iron gates, wire fencing, hurdles, rabbit-fences, tree- 
guards, continuous wrought-iron bar-fences — all very desirable and worthy of 
commendation. Mapplebeek and Lowe show, as usual, an admirable stand of 
miscellaneous articles, implements, hand-tools, weighing-machines, garden- 
seats, ornamental chairs, vases, &c., &c. Thomas Kennan and Son exhibit 
their usual assortment of useful tools, &c. : we awarded them a commendation 
for their clieap and effective wire strainer. 11. H. Crisp showed some excel- 
lent strapping of different sorts : we awarded him a commendation for his 
siiecimens of gutta-percha and india-rubber strapping. Wallis and Harlam 
showed an excellent stand of cultivating implements. Woods and Son 
deserve honourable mention for their excellent stand of miscellaneous articles 
and machines. Peyton and Clerk show admirable specimens of axes, adzes, 
mattocks, and other farm-tools in great and good variety. William Ball 
exhibits his excellent ploughs, waggons, carts, scarifiers, &c. Wilham Ger- 
rans brought out a self-acting horse-rake, taking 11 feet when in work, with a 
joint to raise one part to facilitate travelling ; the workman rides upon it, and, 
by pressing a pedal, causes the rake to deposit its load as it passes on ; it has 
also a lever left behind for the same purpose : of course we left it to its qua- 
drennial year's trial. James Mellard showed some good and attractive imple- 
ments. Thomas Milford and Sons exhibit their excellent waggons and carts. 
Messrs. Mitton and Co. show their pretty flower-stands, baskets, seats, netting, 
meat-safes, &c. Samuel Rowsell shows his light and handy gate and American 
horse-rake. Thomas Perry and Sons had a very good and extensive stand of 
miscellaneous articles of their usual manufacture. Dray, Taylor, and Co. 
show a considerable variety of superior articles, implements, and machines. 
H. A. Thompson had his usual good stand of implements, i.e. — haymaking- 
machines, rakes, pumjis, &c. Robert Tinkler shows a capital stand of barrel- 
churns, with their india-rubber bungs. Cottam and Co. show a great number 
of excellent articles, besides their superb stable-fittings, for which we awarded a 
commendation, iu which we desired to include the whole stand. William
