During the past two years, we have sold nearly one thousand setts of these 
Improved Powers, with Threshers; and without exception, they have given 
Oniform satisfaction, not one having been returned, notwithstanding our war¬ 
ranty is broad and liberal. They have been exhibited at all the principal 
Pairs throughout the country, during the autumn of 1850, and again in 1851, 
and with but two exceptions in the whole number of exhibitions, they were 
awarded the Highest Premiums—and in both these cases, before the pat¬ 
terns were as perfect as now; and the workmanship, in both having been 
done for us by contract, before we were enabled, with our facilities, to do all 
ourselves. In these instances, our Powers were entirely new, and not made 
with any view of exhibition—while those Powers receiving the premiums 
were made and finished up in all the working as well as other parts, with 
especial reference to competition at Fairs. In the one case, our Power 
has since established its superiority over its competitor, by receiving the Highest 
and only Premium in 1851, and in competition with the same Power, and at 
the hands of the same Society, tbe majority of whose awarding committee 
owned and were using the competing Power which received the award in 
1850—giving our own the preference for its superior construction, ease for 
team, and efficiency: And in the other, we pledge ourselves to the public that 
it will do the same thing at their next Annual Fair, provided pecuniary interest 
or personal prejudice is not allowed to enter into the merits of the question. 
Among the many Premiums awarded us for this Power, are the following: 
At the Fair op the New-York State Agricultural Society at 
Albany, in 1850, the committee unanimously awarded us the Highest and 
only Premium on the endless-chain Power, and in competition with three 
others—among which was the Wheeler Railway Power, made and entered by 
themselves, (the same as we have extensively manufactured and sold for seve¬ 
ral years.) The chairman of the awarding committee says of the machines 
OS follows \ " W anf»nt m nnVi timo in ovnnrtinin<v »V>a irnvi/Min five! 
We spent much time in examining the various Powers, first 
“ with the owners, and heard all they could say, and then in their absenc 
“ the result most fully convinced me that yours was the best; and if I v, 
“ one, I would give twenty dollars more for yours than for any other 
“grounds:” And on being written to, some months afterwards, conct 
the same, he replies that—“ As you have won your laurels fairly, it is jui i 
“ should receive a full reward.” ! 
In 1851, at their Fair held at Rochester, the same Society’s coi 
tee (than whom no men, better qualified, or attention and care bestowed d 
the whole four days of the Fair, have been or can again be secured,) aw 
us the Highest and only Premium, for the best Rail Road Horse Powe 
in competition wiih the same Powers as at Albany. The committees 
their report, that “The contest was the closest between Wheeler’t 
“Emery’s—two manufacturing firms from Albany; but owing to the 
“ larity of Powers, they were required to give a test by threshing one hu 
“ large bundles of wheal; and notwithstanding Wheelers’ beat Emery,, 
“ three minutes, we are of the opinion that, as a whole, Emery’s Rail ; 
“ Horse Power is entitled to the Premium.” 
This report of the committee being in favor of our Power, and wit 
difference in the results, if the superiority of its construction and operai 
not established, it certainly will be, when we state that during the three 
previous, at said Fair, with an entirely new Power, (borrowed for the occi 
of Hon. J. M. Sherwood, of Auburn, to whom it was sold some weeks b 
in exchange for one of Wheeler’s manufacture, but not yet used,) 1 
er horses, and little used to working it, we repeatedly threshed, of the 
lot of wheat, one hundred sheaves m ten minutes, at the same elevation 
with but two-thirds the travel of the horses, required by the Wheeler P 
to do the same work; while the team used by them were following thre 
with and well broke to their Power, and their Test Power made express) 
and having been prerviously used at several Fairs, and in good working
