SECTION XIII.—IMPLEMENTS AND AGRICULTURAL
MACHINERY.

This section is of so much importance in a colony where
manual labour is scarce and dear, that a great deal of attention
will be devoted to it. It is not intended to draw any line
between imported and colonial articles, because it is considered
that a position of impartiality tends best to stimulate colonial
skill in manufactures. Except in the case of a collection of
implements and things that can be judged in a quiescent state,
prizes will be offered only in such classes of exhibits as can be
judged in action, either in the field or in the Exhibition ground.
Steam-engines, threshing machines, sheep-washing machines,
sugar-making machinery, chaff-cutters, corn-crushers, winnow-
ing machines, &c., will be judged on the ground. In conformity,
therefore, with this arrangement, while the Exhibition is open
to every species of machine and tool that can be classed in this
section, prizes are only offered for the following articles:—
