 fifty dollars were placed at the disposal of the Committee to be 

 awarded in three premiums for the best ploughing by Boys of 

 eighteen years or under. There were four entries as follows : — 



Charles S. Smith, Hamilton, 16; Walter F. Dodge, Beverly, 

 16; Willie G. Horton, Ipswich, 15; Aaron Winslow, Swamp-
