 Holbrook's plow.

 equal. 



Eighth — Excellence of material: Decided in favor of Collins. 



Ninth — Thorough inversion and burial of weeds: Unanimously 

 decided in favor of Collins. 



Tenth — Even distribution of wear: No difference of wear. 



Eleventh — Regularity or trueness of turning: Decided unani-

The preference was given to Holbrook's plow on the second, 

 third, fourth, sixth and eleventh points, being five points in all. 

 The preference was given to Collins on the fifth, eighth and ninth 

 points, being three points in all, and were decided to be equal on 

 the first, seventh and tenth points, being three points in all. 



As the Holbrook has the greatest number of points of excel- 

 lence, and as it is not objectionable in any point, and as the points 

 in which it excels are the most important ones, the judges agree 

 to award it the gold medal.

No ground, after diligent search, being found in the vicinity 

 of Utica suitable in all respects for a trial of them, the proprie- 

 tors very politely waived their admitted right to a trial else- 

 where, and no trial or award in this class was made.
