 For the Committee, E. B. LITTLE. 



ON PLOUGHING WITH DOUBLE TEAMS. 



The Committee on Ploughing with Double Teams Report : 

 That there were fourteen entries, and thirteen teams drew lots 

 and ploughed. Ten of the lands were run out previously, and 

 three were run out the morning of the show, after the teams 

 were on the ground, and by some mistake were made about 

 one third less than the quantity required, which was not dis- 

 covered by the committee until after the lots v/ere drawn for, 

 and the teams had started. 



The committee concluded that the competitors M'-ho drew 

 the small lands ought not to be prejudiced in consequence, and 

 therefore awarded the premiums without reference to the quan- 

 tity of land ploughed, although less than the rods specified and 

 required. 



Lot No. 1 was drawn by John Washburn, of Lynn. 

 " No. 2 '• " Richard S. Bray, of Newbury. 

 '• No. 3 " " Paul P. Pilsbury, of Andover.
