of July. The weather 'was perfection
itself, and well minted for field opera-

was rather small, owing, no doubt, to
the fact of a large number of those
more directly interested in such con.
tests being busily engaged in haying.
Thele were eight alogia machines and
one combined entered for competition,
and the work performed by the varirsus
machines was of high order. The
etgoali number of entries, and, conse-
quently, the poor attendance of mann-
facturers, is mainly due to their having
entered into a eonlbivatinn, some time
ago, for the purpose of not attending
these matches. The award of the
judges seemed to give general satisfac-
