SINGLE OX TEAMS. 



The Committee on Plowing with single ox teams report that 

 Mr. Dan'i Sullivan, of Dover, was the only person who entered for 

 a premium, and they were unanimous in awarding him the first one 

 of $6. Mr. Sullivan was plowman and driver, using a plow 

 from the establishment of Whittemore, Belcher & Co., called the 

 " Doe No. E, 4." Mr. Sullivan also made an entry last year 

 and obtained the 2d premium. At that time he had owned his 

 team but a few days, and the Committee in speaking of that 

 circumstance, then used the following language. " Mr. S. had 

 owned his cattle but a short time, consequentl}'- they did not move 

 so well as they probably would have done, had he owned them 

 longer." He had the same oxen this year, and their movements 

 fully verified the truth of that prediction. They appeared to be 

 well trained, travelled in good style, and without much effort of 

 the driver to guide them, plowed with ease the lot assigned 

 them in forty minutes. The last furrow in particular, which re- 

 quires the most skill, was very well turned. Li short, the perform- 

 ance throughout was quite creditable to Mr. Sullivan and gratify- 

 ing to the Committee.
