 PLOUGHING— SIDE HILL PLOUGH. 



The Committee on Ploughing with Side Hill Plough, re- 

 spectfully report as follows : — 



There were but two entries made. The Committee very 

 much regret that the number of entries was so small. They 

 think the wood-beam swivel plough of Messrs. P. F. Holbrook 

 & Small, superior to any now in general use. 



They are unanimous in the award of the first premium of 

 $10 to Samuel Moody, of West Newbury. Team, one yoke 

 of oxen without driver : he used the F. F. Holbrook & Small 

 plough, No. 6. 



To Messrs. Kittredge & Foster, of North Andover, the sec- 

 ond premium of $8. Team four oxen with driver. They 

 used the F. F. Holbrook & Small plough, No. 9. 



Committee — Alonzo B. Fellows, William Dodge, Jr., 

 Franklin Brickett, William H. Felton, George L. Hawkes,

BOYS' PLOUGHING. 



The Committee on Boys' Ploughing report : 



Hon. William Sutton, President of the Society, generously 

 offered fifty dollars to be awarded in three premiums of $25, 

 $15 and $10, to boys under 19 years of age, for ploughing. 



Four competitors appeared on the ground. They all did 

 well, showing they had experience in driving the oxen and 

 holding the plough. As there were but three premiums to be 

 awarded, and four deserving competitors, the Committee being 

 desirous that no one should be " left out in the cold," suggest- 

 ed the fact to the generous donor (Gen. Sutton) who cheer- 

 fully increased his donation eight dollars, making it $58 in-
