" 44, John and Albert Jenkins, of Andover.

 One other team was presented, but the title to the same 

 was such that the Committee could not under the rules of 

 the Society permit it to compete for the premiums. Yet it 

 was permitted to plough and the work was done in fine 

 time and very Avell. 



The work was done in from 27 to 33 minutes from the 

 start, and was as thoroughly done as the Committee have 

 ever witnessed. The work was so Avell done that the Com- 

 mittee were not unanimous in awarding any of the premi- 

 ums without discussion and careful deliberation. 



They award the premiums as follows : 

 To William B. Richards, of Georgetown, the first premi- 

 um of ^ 25 00 

 Plough, Prouty & Mears, No. 155. 



To John and Albert Jenkins, of Andover, the second pre- 

 mium of 15 00 

 Plough, P. & M's., Michigan, No. 85. 

 To Henry B. Cloutman, of Marblehead, the third premi- 

 um of 10 00 

 Plough, Ruggles, Nourse & Mason's, No. 73 1-2. 



The work done by Mr. Slocumb was equal to and in the 

 opinion of the Committee better than any other on the 

 ground until the last two furrows, in turning which the skill 

 and ability manifested up to that time seemed to have de- 

 serted him. A fact which is inexplicable to the Committee. 

 The Committee regret that the generous donor of these 

 premiums was not present to witness the performance. 

 For the Committee, N. W. Harmon.
