to  grass  mowers.  Made  to  work  on  any  machine.”  Seeing  that 
every  mower  is  fitted  at  the  outer  end  of  the  knife-board  with 
guides  for  clearing  the  track  which  will  be  taken  by  the  driving 
wheels  on  the  next  turn  round  the  field,  it  is  a remarkable  thing 
that  no  one  has  hitherto  thought  of  fitting  a removable  clearer 
to  the  inner  end  of  the  knife-board  for  clearing  a track  on 
which  the  machine  might  be  driven  in  the  opposite  direction 
for  cutting  out  the  headlands.  That  is  the  object  of  this 
invention,  which  appears  to  be  as  practical  as  simple. 
Article  3671. — Messrs.  S.  M.  Wilmot  Co.,  Albert  Road, 
St.  Philip’s,  Bristol.  “ Improved  Lamb  Shelter.  Various 
sizes  and  prices.” — These  shelters,  primarily  intended  for  use  in 
the  lambing  season,  will  commend  themselves  for  use  for  many 
other  purposes.  They  are  eminently  strong,  simple,  and 
portable.  Circular  in  form,  they  are  constructed  of  galvanised 
steel  corrugated  sheets  formed  in  four  sections.  These  are 
readily  bolted  together  in  a few  minutes.  The  roof  is  made  of 
waterproof  canvas,  and  is  supported  by  a single  pole  in  the 
centre,  like  an  ordinary  military  bell  tent. 
Article  3893. — Mess7-s.  F.  Parker  Co.,  22  West  End 
Lane,  Kilburn,  London,  N.W.  “Collection  of  baskets.”  Price 
from  3s.  each.  These  baskets  are  strengthened  by  the  inter- 
weaving of  a rod  of  wrought  iron.  The  ends  of  the  rod  are 
welded  together,  and  the  loop  thus  formed  passes  through  both 
handles  and  across  the  bottom  of  the  basket,  adding  very 
greatly  to  the  strength,  but  very  little  to  the  weight.  They 
commend  themselves  for  use  in  all  cases  where  the  breaking 
of  a handle  might  involve  danger  to  life  or  limb. 
Conclusion. 
On  counting  up  the  number  of  exhibits  which  the  Judges 
have  considered  worthy  of  mention  in  the  Journal  this  year,  I 
find  there  is  an  increase  of  more  than  50  per  cent,  in  the  total, 
and  that,  too,  on  a much  smaller  entry  of  “ New  Implements,” 
a fact  pointing  to  the  superiority  of  the  exhibits  this  year  as 
mentioned  at  the  beginning  of  this  Report. 
The  thanks  of  the  Judges  are  due  to  the  Stewards  of 
Implements,  Mr.  R.  Neville  Grenville,  Mr.  W.  A.  Prout,  and 
Captain  W.  S.  B.  Levett,  for  their  energetic  organisation  ; 
and  to  Mr.  F.  S.  Courtney,  the  Society’s  Consulting 
Engineer,  for  his  ever-ready  help  and  valuable  experience.
