mode of selecting their judges w ill meet with the approbation of 
the exhibitors. 
4. The Committee, to whom the Council confided the con- 
sideration of the mode by which a trial of tile-machines, 
ploughs, and drills, subsequently to the period of the Country 
meeting, and under circumstances best adapted to the testing of 
their respective merits, could be most advantageously effected, 
have reported the following recommendations, which the Council 
have adopted : — 
(1.) That the tile-machines shall be tried by the judges at 
Shrewsbury ; and such of them as the judges may think worthy 
shall be selected by them for further trial ; such trial to be made 
by a visit on the part of the judges to some one tile-yard pointed 
out by each inventor respectively, and subsequently elsewhere as 
the judges may see fit. 
(2.) That the judges shall select at the Shrewsbury trial so 
many ploughs as they think fit for subsequent trial ; and the 
ploughs so selected shall be at the disposal of the stewards and 
judges. 
(3.) That the rules for the selection and trial of ploughs shall 
apply also to drills. 
(4.) That the winning implement of the previous year shall be 
included in these subsequent trials. 
(5.) That the makers and inventors of the implement shall be 
entitled to attend, at their own expense, at some one of the trials, 
of which notice shall be given to them. 
(6.) That if the judges select for trial at the Shrewsbury 
meeting the plough of any exhibitor, and the exhibitor wish to 
substitute for it any other plough exhibited by him at the same 
meeting, such other plough shall be tried at the Shrewsbury 
meeting, but not elsewhere unless the judges think fit; but the 
judges shall also try, if they think fit, the plough originally 
selected by them. 
(7.) That the judges shall report on the reserved implements 
to the first Council in November.
