 set of silver tea spoons. 



The second best was made by Miss Frances Hayes of Buxton, and

Plowing. 



The Committee on Plowing report : 



Five double teams, one single team, and one two horse team were 

 present on the grounds, and plowed each, one-eighth of an acre. 

 The teams were all good, driven by experienced teamsters, exhibit- 

 ing their skill in the ease with which they managed their teams. 



The same also may be said of the plows used, and the plowmen 

 who guided them. All seemed to vie with each other, to do their 

 work well, adopting the old maxim "that work well dDne is twice 

 done." And your Committee are gratified to bear their united testi- 

 mony that all the work was well done ; so much so as to render it 

 somewhat diflBcult to award the premiums so as to do justice to all.
