Horse Teams. 



The committee on ploughing with, horse teams, respectfully 

 report : — 



There were eight teams entered for premium. The compet- 

 itors were notified, that if the Wjork was completed within the 

 time prescribed, and of the required depth, the quality of the 

 work alone would determine the award. All the competitors 

 completed their work within the time, and of the required 

 depth, wath one exception. The work was well done, and the 

 discipline of the teams generally good ; and your committee 

 believe, on no occasion, considering the uneven surface of the 

 ground allotted to the horse teams, has such perfection in 

 ploughing been exhibited. Where all did so well, it was hard 

 to discriminate ; but after a careful examination of the work, 

 they award as follows : — 



To Benjamin V. French, of Braintree, Prouty & 



Mears's plough, first premium, . . . . $8 00 



To Hiram W. Jones, of Dover, Ruggles, Nourse & 



Mason's plough, second premium, . . . . 6 00 



To I. H. Meserve, of Roxbury, Ruggles, Nourse & Ma- 

 son's plough, third premium, . . . . . 4 00 



To B. N. Sawin, of Dover, Ruggles, Nourse & Ma- 

 son's plough, fourth premium, 2 00 



To George B. Cook, of Bellingham, Martin & Co.'s 



plough, a gratuity of 2 00
