 The work was all done very well, and had the lots been of equal 

 goodness, the committee are willing to believe it possible, that some 

 of the premiums might have been differently awarded. The com- 

 mittee gave close attention to the work while under operation, and 

 after a careful examination of the land when finished, and endeavor- 

 ing to take into the account all the attendant circumstances, they unan" 



mously award the premiums as follows : 



To Daniel Roberts, of Lynn, 1st premium, $8. 



To William R. Putnam, of Danvers, 2d " 6. 



To John G. Walcott, of Danvers, 3d " 4. 



To John Marland, of Andover, 4th " 2. 



Lots No. 6 and 7 were probably as well ploughed as some which 

 had a premium, except the last furrow which was very imperfectly 

 done. Number 2 was wet and somewhat uneven, probably not giv- 

 ing an equal chance. All the ploughs used were of the manufacture 

 of Ruggles, Nourse & Mason's, Eagle No. 2 except No. 7, which had 

 Eagle, No 25, and No. 8 had an old plough without a name. 

 All which is respectfully submitted.
