"a In this class your committee find mos
o. useful and valuable improvement in the con
structon of business wagons, for express

-, gusta.
- By peculiar arrangement of the springs
II. axles and attachment of the forward wheels

"a eighteen inches from the ground, rendering
in the work of loading and unloading a com
At paratively easy matter-an advantage that il
+ of special value in the case of heavy parcel
~ and packages.
" In turning i. is so arrangs; tina, i; describe
n that of common express and job wagons
p The wagon exhibits thorough workmanship
~ in every part and reflects high credit upon The
manufacturers skill, in whose shop the en-
10 tire work has been performed. We believe
this improvement in business wagons will
~ bring it into general use, and that wherever
J. known, it will be highly appreciated by the
business community. Your committee there
q fore recommend for this valuable improve
ment the Society's BRONZE MEDAL.
= We also recommend diploma to Smith
, & Cobb of South Gray, for their Improved
Metallic Studded Sleigh. This improvement
!. consists in the studs being of flexible MALE
"a BILE iron, which are secured both to the rum
r.. ners and bars by means OF bolts, so that while
thus work is cheaper, it is also more durable
than where moriise is made in the runner
: and bar, to receive the lennon of the stud
y thus securing the entire strength of wood K
- the runner and bars. The improvement is 9
valuable one and is recommended to the man
H. ufaciurers of sleiehs throughout the State a.
q worthy of adoption.
