Report  on  the  Exhibition  of  Implements 
There  was  some  improvement  in  the  arrangement  for  working 
these  machines,  but  none  of  sufficient  importance  to  comment 
upon.  We  found  the  work  performed  by  Cornes’s,  stand  72,  art. 
1,  the  best,  and  although  the  power  required  to  drive  his  machine 
was  somewhat  more  than  for  Smith’s,  we  came  to  the  conclusion 
to  give  the  prize  to  him.  These  machines  were  all  tried  in 
cutting  chaff  3-8ths  of  an  inch  in  length.

In  making  our  decision  upon  the  merits  of  these  machines,  the 
only  two  we  selected  for  trial,  we  gave  the  prize  to  Mr.  Samuel- 
son,  the  successor  of  the  late  Mr.  Gardner,  for  the  very  excellent 
manner  it  cut  both  for  beasts  and  sheep.  Phillips’s  implement 
did  not  cut  so  well  for  beasts,  but  he  has  much  improved  it  for 
sheep  since  last  year.

Worked  badly. 
In  this  class  of  implements  we  consider  that  the  one  exhibited 
by  Mr.  Nicholson,  stand  92,  art.  3,  had  so  much  the  advantage, 
both  in  the  power  required  and  price,  that  we  awarded  him  the 
prize. 
Steaming  Apparatus. — We  awarded  the  prize  to  Mr.  Stanley, 
stand  64,  art.  3.  The  merit  of  this  apparatus  is  so  well  known 
that  it  requires  no  comment  from  us. 
One-Horse  Carts. — We  awarded  the  prize  to  Mr.  Busby,  stand 
18,  art.  17.  This  cart  is  similar  in  principle  to  the  one  shown 
last  year,  its  wheels  being  on  the  cylindrical  principle,  easily  to  be
