Report on the Trials of Implements at Oxford. 43'J 
question requiring' careful consideration. It would <idd very 
much to the convenience of the visitor if the miscellaneous 
implements could be collected tofjether, and not mixed up as now. 
Somethings has been done in bringing the carriage department 
together with manifest advantage, and we hope that further 
alteration in this direction may be attempted another year. The 
Show-ground was unavoidably laid out less consecutively than 
usual in consequence of a brick-field interfering. The absence 
from the Catalogue of a plan of the ground giving the shedding 
was an omission that should be rectified. Such a plan was issued 
with the Implement awards on the Monday, but it would have 
been more convenient if bound up with the Catalogue. 
Owing to increased competition, consequent on the growth of 
the implement trade, the Society have thought it desirable to 
alter the Prize-sheet, by omitting the Class of Portable Engines 
and Threshing-machines, the trials of which are deferred for 
another year. The following list, with the names of the Judges 
in each department, may assist the reader in following the
