Highly commended. 
The quality of the work and finish of all these four engines were extremely 
good. 
We commend the engine of Messrs. Brown and May, because it attained a 
fair amount of economy without the advantage of so much skill in the staking 
as the others enjoyed. 
Portable Steam-Engines not exceeding 8 Horse-power. 
We have thought it desirable, in our consideration of this Clas."?, to separate 
the engines into two divisions, which may be best described as including — 
1st. Those engines worked on the expansive principle, which, by the use of 
beaters and other sjiecial arrangements, appear to aim more particularly at 
low consumption of fuel. 
2ud. Those engines, without these arrangements, which appear in our 
judgment to represent the average description of engine generally purchased - 
by farmers, and in use throughout tlic country. 
We have distributed the amount jilaced at our disposal amongst the 'engines 
of Messrs. Tuxford and Sons, Barrett and Co., Clayton and Co., and Holmes 
and Sons, as shown on Table No. 2, in the proportions which, taking all 
joints into consideration, they, in our opinion, respectively merit.
