We find that the Wertheirn and Jones all of the Singer type and similar in construction, and should be classed la the same order. The Wheeler and Wilson differs in construction, but the results of our experiments are similar to the former named. As regards the DAVIS, we cannot but agree with the jury that it is very buperlor to any of tho others, and went through every test to our entire satisfaction. We therefore beg to recommend that the Machines be placed in the following order : FAMILY MACHINES. Ist, The Davis ; 3rd, Whealer and Wilson, Jcnes and Co., Wertheirn. HAND MACHINES.
