La reply to the somewhat lengthy comnunica.
ton of Mr. P, H. Wait in the FREE TRADER of
the 10th ult., I say, like him, we have no time to
spare in controversy or useless newspaper arti-
cles, and to bring the matter to point, make
the following proposition for the purpose of test
ing in a satisfactory manner, the relative merits
Of the "Leffel'tDouble Turbine and the 'Wait''
Jounval wheel, .viz.:
Each party to deposit in the hand of some one
who may be agreed upon, $1,000, to be subject
to the order of the owner of tbs winning wheel
The losing party to pay all expenses attending
the trial.
The trial to be made by three practical mill
wrights, one chosen by each party, they choosing
the third one, and they deciding the size of wheel
to be used, the time and place where, and the
manner in which the trial shall be made.
