SALISBURY SHOW, JULY, 1857.
The competition by R. G. and SONS, at this meeting, was confined to the
class of Horse Hoes and Drills, and, after a most patient and searching
trial, the FIRST PRIZE in Horse Hoes was again awarded to R. G. and SONS’
well-known Implement, which has now been before the Public upwards of
fourteen years, taking the FIRST PRIZE AT EVERY MEETING at which it has
competed, distancing all competitors, and has earned for itself a
reputation such as no other implement ever has done. This result is the
more important when it is borne in mind that no _further competition_
will take place in _Horse Hoes until the year_ 1860. No less than 64
Horse Hoes were exhibited at Salisbury, all of which, by the awards, are
pronounced more or less inferior to

The following statement shows the result of the competition—
