Report on the Exhibition of Implements 
requiring 22 lbs. of coal to get up the steam. We gave out 
this quantity to begin with, but as it did not prove sufficient, 
the remainder was furnished in smaller quantities as wanted. 
After tlie trial of this engine, we determined to give to each 
exhibitor 22 lbs. of wood and 140 lbs. of coal, with which to 
get up the steam, and work as long as he could. The tabular 
statement will show the result. The engines are numbered 
according to the order of trial." 
No. 1. — Stand 67, art. 1. — Exhibited by Edmund Moody, and 
made by John James Fisher, of Frome. 
At the lime they were getting up the steam the weather was 
very much against it. A heavy thunder-storm fell (the boiler 
not having a case round it), which would no doubt con- 
dense a great deal of steam and make it take more coal than 
would otherwise have been required. Other deficiencies in the 
engine prevented us from giving it a second trial. 
No. 2. — Stand 59, art. 25. — Barrett, Exall, and Andrews. 
This engine, like No. 1, took both more time and fuel to get 
up the steam to the working pressure than was stated in the 
description : and to find out what it would do in a given time, 
with a certain weight of coal, was out of the power of the Judges, 
as Mr. Exall could not keep it steadily at work for above a few 
minutes at a lime. It was also considered altogether too light in 
construction for agricultural purposes. 
No. 3. — Stand 82, art. 2. — William Cambridge, Market- 
Lavington. 
Took about the same quantity of fuel and time to get up the 
steam as stated in the description ; but working 40 minutes, 
driving 4 horse-power, consumed 70 lbs. of coal, besides what it 
took to get up the steam. This was at the rale of 105 lbs. per 
hour ; whereas the description slated that 32 lbs. per hour would 
suffice. A second trial gave a nearly similar result. 
It may be well here to remark (as this was the prize engine last 
year) that though improvements have boon made in it since that 
time, especially in the water-bridge, other delects still remain. 
No. 4. — Stand 2.5, art. 1. — Richard Robinson, of Belfast. 
{See Tabular remarks.) 
No. 5. — Stand 22, art. 1. — George Howe, Southwark. 
Took 22 lbs. of wood, 120 lbs. of coal, and 75 minutes to get 
up the steam to 50 lbs. the working pressure, which was more than
