Several pulverizers and harrows were ex-
| hibited, but no committee was found to
examine them. D. M Durham of Bangor
showed RandalPs pulverizing harrow, which
| did good work. 1t is constructed of wheels,
which being sharp, cut the sward, leaving it
| fit for garden spot. There is a seat for the
driver, whose weight makes the work much
| more effectual. Mr.. Dennissn also showed his
chain pulverizer. which was very successful in
its work of leveling off the newly plowed
land.
In the afternoon there was perfect jam at
thePark, and, judging from the number on the
previous day, there must have been $1,000
people in attendance. Notwithstanding the
crowd, however, there was the best of order
maintained throughout.
