Grand Trial of Moving Machines.---
The NANNY Machine Victorious.
SYRACUSE, N. Y.-The trial of the
mowers came off to-day, at three o'clock,
preceded by speeches and grand pro-
cession, at the county fair grounds. Up
wards of twenty machines were entered,
and the display at starting was very fine.
All did we'll, but it was soon apparent
that the real contest was between the
Nanny with Woods improvement and
the Ketchum machines. The struggle
was close, the Nanny comming in slight
ly ahead. This result was hailed with
cheers by the multitude, in which the
friends of the Ketchum machine heartily
joined. $780,
July 15.-The second trial Of mowers
came off this afternoon, the Nanny ma
chine with Woods improvement again Ia
king the palm. ...
This is tho machine for which Ira
Hart is agent, as may be seen from oul
columns, and which is performing its
work in such superior manner in this
neighborhood.

sufficient weight of territory upon the

They did more. To conciiate the North

territory than all of them together; and
