Judging Machines,

For registering the results of o foot
face the human y and voice seem
sometimes painfully inadequate. Close
contests Of this kind will doubtless
End more pleasantly when the new
Judging machine" described by tho
Golden Penny, comes into general use.
The machine, which was invented by
IN Australian. Is designed to be placed
1t the finish line, and consists Of a
light metal frame partitioned into two
or more divisions, each about four feet
vide. On the top of the frame stands
! small cabinet containing numbered
divisions corresponding to the num-
Ders of the tracks. The instant the
arst man passes through his division
/ shutter falls, disclosing his track
number. The other numbers are I'M
nediately locked, except when the ma
chine Is set for final heats. In this
Ease . small cylinder is attached to
the machine, and a hammer head
strikes a mark on the revolving cylin-
Ter as the men finish. Thus the exact
positions CT all tina competitors can be
:old to a nicely. The same inventor
has originated an automatic judging

lisplaces one OF the strips, and tina
aext wheel, therefore, only receives
