DOUBLE TEAMS. 



Your Committee submit the following report : — 



Five teams were presented for premiums, and your Committee 

 were unanimous in recommending that the Society's premiums be 

 awarded as follows : 



To Horace and Moses Whiting of Dedham, Michigan and subsoil 

 plough, 1st premium, ...... ^8.00 



To Henry Goulding of Dover, Michigan plough, 2d pre- 

 mium, ......... 6.00 



To Luther Eaton of Dedham, Michigan plough, 3d pre- 

 mium, ......... 4.00 



To Aaron D. Weld of West Roxbury, Prouty & Mears's 



plough, 1st premium, ...... 8.00 



To William Fales of Dedham, Nourse, Mason & Co.'s 



plough, 2d premium, ...... 6.00 



Your Committee add that the ground was rather unfavorable, 

 being uneven and stony ; but it affords them no small satisfaction 

 to witness the interest manifested and the improvements made in 

 deep and thorough ploughing. 



For the Committee, 



OTIS JOHNSON, Chairman. 



SINGLE TEAMS. 



The Committee on Single Teams make the following report : 



Whole number of entries, two. 



To Esther S. Edson of Dedham, the Committee award the 



second premium of . . . . . . $6.00 



To Howard Ford of Roxbury, a gratuity of . . . 5.00 



In regard to Mr. Ford's team, the Committee were in doubt 

 whether to class it among double or single teams, it being made up 

 of a horse and bull. As single teams are not entitled to a driver, 

 and as Mr. Ford employed one, he was hereby excluded from a 

 premium, the Committee not being satisfied that his was a double 

 team. But the good spirit which he showed in bringing his team, 

 whatever it was, upon the field, and their excellent execution, 

 determined the Committee to award him the abovenamed gratuity.
