The advs. w—ere pecollerly competent, two of %ems
being en&aers, sad one • collar manufacturer, one of
the engiosers and the manufacturer helm gm sewing
machine impala. They tested the competing machines
In respect to rash of all the itetne that together con-
stitute the efficwocy and utility of • sewing machine,
making immediate award of superiority is respect to each
item, in the presence of a large concouree of spectators
to the trial.

The character of the tests employed is exhibited in
U. report from whit& we quota:

•
"In regard to the doormat of the judge upon the
several polar, it may be remarked that during the
entity trial there warn scarcely an instance of difference
of opinion—es, indeed, it was hardly porible there
could be, tor the plan adopted was itself a surety both
of unanimity and a just decision ; the latter being '
.111
nob a plan, neither more nor ler than the practical
solution of a mathematical problem. For, by .spared-
leg the reentries nitrite of each marilne into element.,
or " points, and subjecting each point separately to
the test of practical work dons on sash machine in
promos of the judges, their decision upon each roint
was reduced to the simple act of recording the facts
developed.

" For instanes wish contestant °barns the most
elastic stitch. Thee each is required to sew a main,
side by side, on the bias of s pieee of elastic cloth ;
sad the judge takes the piece and stretches it length•
ways of the 8111•1111., till One, seem breaks ; he stall eon-
donee the stretching, but the other Ma refuses to
break at all. However disappointed his expectations,
the judge will hardly enter on theresord that the broke*
seem is the more elastic.

" Bach were the tests, and such the inevitable de-
casinos."

After a ooritest of nearly seven boars, the Willcox
and Gibbs was declared to be the best Sewing Machine.
The importanee of this trial to die public is due to
the facts that the questions decided were web se admit
of absolute determination, sad that the decisions were
approved by • multitude of disinterested witnesses.

The following is • summary of the decisions In favour
of the Wiukoi and Grass:—
I. It is the simplest
2. It is the bleat liable to get out of order.
3. It is the best made =aim
4. It is the cheapest.
