mar owed down to three machines MAssfs WRIGHT
and NeCoRMIcKs. But on Starting WRIGHT's AGAIN
it broke down. end left the struggle exclusively to the
two machines, MAsSYs and McCORxrcK's. The t"o

chine cut three swatbs, and with an ease OF action
and perfection of work which fairly placed 1t FAR
beyond any further competition, though Nc CoK-

equal az to the quality Of the work, vet it was o.
eeryed MANNY's would have the advantage Of being
the most compact less cumbersome, and of much less
weight than McCoRNIcKs, and in MANNY's there Is
10 lateral pressure against horses as by McCoRNIcKs;
also Of being much the lightest craft and more easily
adjustable to different nights OF cutting, and most
easily convertible for the two purposes OF reapng am
moving This seemed 10 be the only machine agalns,
which there couln be no objection urged. We cond
give TO better evic of the facts absve than the
fact that Mr.. MABIE had upon the conclusion OF ths
trial several very large offers for the patents OF TIE
machine two of which we heard; for France one Of
fer was one hundred thousand francs and one OF one
humid ed snd twenty five thousand francs. We have
since learned that arrangements have been made !of
the manufacture of thousand of these machines IN
this city for the rext harvest.
"The decision and report of the jury viii not be
published until the latter part Of October, We: all TIE
iaures we are free to confess, have been glowingy
won by Americans; and this achievement cannot be
locked upon with Indifference. as i. but plainly fore
shadows the ultimate destiny Of the New World"
