Sacramento daily record-union., 1881-09-23
AT The PARK.


The second grand parade of stock was to
have taken place yesterday morning at 10
o'clock, but in consequence of the condition
of the track, after the rain Of the night pre-
vious, it was thought best to postpone the
parade till this morning at the same hour.
There was large audience present to wit
ness the parade, but they very good-natured-
ly turned their attention to the splendid
horses that were brought out and stationed
inside the inclosure made by the inside traclr,
for examination by the committees. The fol-
lowing classes of horses were examined and

Nash Brothers Pulverizing Harrow-This
is an Ingenious invention for cutting and pull
verizing soil and covering grain, and all pur-
poses for which q common harrow is used.
1t would not be taken for n harrow at all, but
put pair of horses to it and start it over
the ground and a practical man would soon
see what it is made for and does its work to
his satisfaction. The machine on exhibition
is the first and only machine on the coast.
but is becoming very popular in the East. It
is exhibited by L. d. Burgess, of Rio Vista,
of S0lano county, who is sole agent for the
coast. Mr.. Burgess also exhibits Gardner's
elevator and carrier or hay pitcher. 1t is so
arranged that when the hay or grain is eleva-
ted TO the proper hight, a car on an elevated
railroad, CT iron rod, moves the load heri-
zentally on to stack or into hay NOV aud
drops it. It is worked by horse the same
as the ordinary horse hay-forks. We Judge
It to be good improvement over the hay
fork. These machines can be seen at the south
side of the north machinery building.
Benicia Agricultural Works-These works,
as their name indicates, are located at Beni-
els, Solano county. Being on the Straits of
Csrquinez they are at tonce accessible by reil
or water with every part of the State and
coast. These works were formerly located at
San Leandro, and were known as the Sweep
stake Plow Co., but The business of the COM
pany literally outgrew the locality and facil-
tiles afforded, hence the removal to place
where they can not only extend their works
to meet the growing business, but to secure
the best commercial facilities afforded on the
coast. The communication with Bsnicia is
direct, both by rail aud water, with every To-
calisy in California both in the Sacramento
and San Joaquin valleys and up aud down
the Coast. both extremes OF the State, Ore
gon and Washington Territory on the north
and Mexico and South America on the south
are also brought to the doors of the Benicia
Works by the facilities Of water navigation.
The advantages of the location will accrue to
dealers and consumers who are and may
tec1me customers of the company. It
must be remembered that freight
is one of the important factors of
PRODUCTION. This consideration has been
one of the foremost that induced the removal
of the works from San Leandro to Bsnicia,
and it is proposed to give the dealers in and
consumers of the articles manufactured at
the works the benefit of the advantages gain
ed in this respect by the removal. These
works are already the largest and most
complete agricultural manufacturing works
west OF the Mississippi iiver. Their build
ings aggregate ], 600 feet in length, and cover
floor space CT nearly two and 3 half acres,
and the company own adjoining land so that
extensions may be made to any extent de-
sired, and the buildings are planned with a
view to such extension. The wharf con-
nected with the works commands water
front of 600 feet, and covers an area of 40, 600
square feet, and Is connected with the works
by railroad, SO that goods leaving the ware
house by water can go to every locality in the
State or coast having water navigation IA
cilitiss without changing means of convey
ance. The capacity Of the works ia already
