At the 45th Exhibition of the American Institute Fair in this city, the Howe Ma- chine was recommended by the judges, and approved by the unanimous vote of the Board of Managers, for the GREAT GOLD "CENTENNIAL MEDAL," under the following rules : "This Medal (of gold) is to be awarded only for a machine, product, or process, exhibited this 'Centenmal year,' at the 45th Exhibition of the American Institute of the city of New York. It can be awarded only for a machine, product, or process, of great value, decided importance, and of more than usual merit; and then only by a majority of the whole Board of Trustees, upon the written report of three judges, whose report shall certify to the above requirements, and after said report shall have been approved by a majority of the whole Board of Managers." It will be thus seen that the "Howe" still leads all competitors-and we chal- lenge all Sewing Machine Companies in the land to produce an award of like ex- cellence received in this "ENTENNIAL YEAR.
