A Bronze Medal was also awarded to G. Bower for his arrangement of 
gas-works suitable to farm-establishments. 
This list of awards will show how large a share of the prizes at 
the disposal of the Jury fell to our own countrymen. The various 
articles exhibited, though fairly upholding the character of their 
respective countries, offered no novelty of arrangement or manu- 
facture, and call for no further remark from us. 
In addition, however, to the general list, a " special prize " was 
offered for " steam-ploughs or cultivators." This we understood to 
have been given by the city of Lille, although we had no official 
information as to the amount of t/ie prizes or the conditions tinder 
which theg were to be aicarded. 
Two competitors appeared in the field, one French and the 
other English. France was represented by M. Kienzy, with his 
"locomotive cultivator," and England by the Messrs. Howard, 
with their improved arrangement of "steam traction-ploughs."
