All the machines accomplished their work
in very acceptable manner, without any ac-
, cident or breakagc, whatever, showing u very
, decided improvement over the trial two years
! since.
The committee found considerable difficulty
in deciding which three of the machlhes were
, entitled to especial notice but after as full al
examination Of the work the time would
I admit of, decided as follows, viz
No. l. Ketchum's--hy BOaS, Spangler x Co.
, No. 2. Allen's-by Bush x Lobdell
No. 8. Manny's by johnson x Co., OF New
ark.
The Machine of Mr.. Jesse Urmy'3 make is
very neat aud compact, appeared to be Of light
draft; and there is no DOUBT but that it will
become great f.ivorite in this vicinity, as the
builder is very flvorlby known as an extern
sive manufacturer OF agricultural implements,
and near at hand to make any repairs that may
be required.
BARRIERS Machine appeared to be very strong
> ly built, with very quick motion, with slow
driving aud cut the grass, We think, rather
{ closer to the ground than the others, but APP
J peared to be Of heavy draft, which might have
u been owing to some detect not belonging Ia
81 the principle OF the Machine.
Diet2 II Dunnam's machine is Of the cun
~ wheel motion, entirely free of cog wheels and
na will no doubt have the preference OF person,
~ who are in favor of simplicity and notdlspOSet
~ to be troubled with the more complicated ma
- chinery.
Il, Messrs. Pennock X Co., had an entire ne'
~ machine Of their own manufacture, which di
~ its work we'll aud no doubt will become ver
n popular article with the community.
N The grass cut was Glover, badly lodged an
,n wet cutting about two tons of hay to the acr,
~. was well calculated to try any machine, AMI "
consider it quite remarkable that al the IN.
49, chimes were able to do th liz WORK in good OF
der without accident.
