The above trial was conducted under the direction of the same Judge who was engaged at the Royal Society’s Trials at Salisbury. The circumstance proves that Smith and Ashby’s Machine is the best Haymaker in use. This celebrated Machine has taken Thirty-one First-class Prizes, and has stood the test of twelve years. N.B.—S. & A. are now constructing all their Haymakers on their original patent principle, and exactly like the one that took the Prize at Waterford; and they warrant every Machine they send out. Price £15 15s. ☞ Smith & Ashby’s Haymaker has just taken the Prize of the Royal Bath and West of England Society, at Cardiff.
