Fig. 5. — Martin’s Side Delivery Rake making a Wagon-row. 
Messrs. Blackstoiie’s machine failed to clean the ground 
really satisfactorily at first, but when adjusted did excellent 
work. This machine also had the advantage of being able to 
deliver the crop to either side. The draft was undoubtedly 
heavier than that of the other exhibits. As regards work 
it certainly satisfied the Judges, and was given first prize, the 
second prize going to Messrs. Martin’s No. 2535. This brought 
the trials in connection with Classes 1 and 2 to an end. 
Mr. Ball and I ai’e very grateful for the excellent arrange- 
ments made by Mr. Courtney and the kind assistance given 
by him and the Stewards of Implements, Messrs. Greaves and 
Pilkington. We should also like to add our sincere thanks to 
Mr. Scorer for all his kind hospitality, and for the interest 
he took in the trials. His valuable co-operation with the 
officials of R.A.S.E. was of the greatest help, and went far 
to ensure the trials being of a practical and fair character. 
All connected with the trials appreciated Mr. Scorer’s kindness, 
which fully made up for any want of coui-tesy on the part of 
the Clerk of the Weather.
