We, the undersigned, having been chosen
as a committee to decide the superiority Of
the a~bove-named machines, agreeable TO the
accepted challenge, after witnessing a fair
trial, at the stated time and place, decide
that we co1ld see but little difference rs to
the cutting Of the machines, as the knife
and bar are nearly tie same but, that the
Russell machine is superior in each Of the
eighteen advantages claimed'in the foregoing.
Also, on examination. we ind that the first
six inches of the knife-ba "a next the pitmau
of the Russell machius is much stronger
than tAe Buckeye.
