There were four competitors for the premiums on the 

 grounds, viz. : — 



Joseph Goodrich of West Newbury to whom is awarded the 

 first premium of $12. 



To town of No. Andover and Chas. A. Butterfield, second 

 premium, <|10. 



To B. H. Farnum, No. Andover, third premium, $9. 



To Theron Johnson and Eben Sutton, No. Andover, fourth 

 premium, $8.

 were not good ; the team should have been checked so that 

 the plough could have gotten to work sooner and prevented that 

 one opportunity for a Jaques or some other expert to snatch 

 the premium. 



Land taking second premium was excellently ploughed, and 

 only failed in not quite closing the farrow, which we attribute 

 to the plough or its adjustment. 



Land taking third premium was of a quality not favorable
