K IMPORTS. 



The Committee, conaistinfr of E. IIerset Derhv, 



Da.mkl Aka.ms, (inii Timothy Corey, (o i<</iom 



was assigned the I'touf^hiufr Match with one 



yoke of t'attle, rk.pokt — That the ground to he 



ploughed wan divided into lots of 24 rods each. — 



There were nine mmpetitorN for the premium.^ 



All the |il<>Mgh.H hut i>iic had cn»t iron mould 

 boarilH, and imml of llicin, rollers and cutter.'* to 

 the beaniH. Ilcfure Hiarting, the ploughmen were 

 directed not to hurry tlu-ir teainH, and were in- 

 formed that the CfUiiiiiittee would be governed 

 in awnriling the premium^*, hy the excellcnri- of 

 the work, and not hy the speed with which it 

 might be performed — that ntteiition would aNo 

 be paid to the ap|>earance and docility of (be Cat- 



tle, and the management of the driver — that nar- 

 row fumlw^^, laid lappinc on each other, would he 

 preferred to wide and flat ones, and that each 

 furrow must l)e five inches deep. 



Uiiiler these regulations, the first lot was plough- 

 ed in 35, and the last in 43 niinuies. 



The Committee take great pleasure in stating 

 their belief that the work, guncrally, was Miperior 

 to that performed in any previous year since the 

 institution of the Ploughing Matdies. 



After much delibernlion, they award the premi- 

 ums as f<dlows : — 



1st to I.ukc Fiske of Walthani, 

 same as ploughman, 

 Ebenezer Carey as driver. 



2d to Perley Ta|)ley of Danvcrs, 

 same as ploughman,
