The refult of this trial we fubjoin in the written decifia 

 of five refpe£lable umpires, chofen for the occafion, viz, 



" We, the Umpires chofen for determining the Premiums 

 given by the Bath Society for Ploughing this day, d» 

 adjudge the faid Premiums as follows: 



ijl Premium^ To Mr. Dyke's two-furrow plough with 

 four horfes, as the befl and cheapeft plough for general ufe, 

 and do recommend the fame as a faving both of men and 

 horfes ; thougli, from a fault ill the conftruftion of the plough 

 produced to-day, the furrow was not laid fufficiently flat, 



' 2.d Premium, To Mr. Tpi o m as's fingle-wheel plough with 

 two horfes ; and we do recommend the faid plough, as having 

 performed exceedingly well on a flifF heavy foil, 



^d Premium, To Mr. Pritchard's plough with two 

 horfes without a driver, as being a plough better adapted for 

 ftiff heavy foil than the general ploughs of the country. — ^And 

 the ploughman of the other competitor, Mr. Giddings, 

 having done his beft with an aukward bad-conflrufted plough 

 of the county, we think proper to order him a gratuity of 

 five {hillings,
