There were four teams entered of this class, and after a care- 

 ful examination of the plows, and the work done with them, the 

 Committee award to L. Eaton, of Dedham, with his Universal 

 Iron Beam Plow, No. 99, first premium, (time 42 minutes) $10. 



H. & A. Blackman, of Needham, with the Doe plow, the se- 

 cond premium, (time 40 minutes) $8. 



Wm. F. Lynch, of Dedham, with No. 50 Eagle plow, the 

 third premium, (time 36 minutes) $6. 



SOD AND SUBSOIL PLOWING. 



Bigelow & Sawin, with Ames's Deep Tiller, the first premium, 

 (time 30 minutes) $10. 



We only regret that it was not in our power to give Messrs. 

 Bigelow & Sawin a larger premium, for it would do a farmer's 

 heart good to see the ease and speed with which they turned the 

 sward and brought the subsoil to the top, and left it in a suitable 

 state to receive the finest of seed. 



It gives your Committee pleasure to announce, that no whips 

 were used by any of these teams, nor was there any loud talking. 



For the Committee, 



JOSIAH H. CARTER, Chairman.

SINGLE HORSE TEAMS. 



The Committee report seven entries, of which two were ruled 

 out, as not complying with the rules of the Society. 



Wm. S. Ware, of Needham, first premium, (Eagle plow, No. 

 50) $6. 



Wm. Harding, of Dorchester, (Nourse's Universal Iron Beam 

 Plow, No. 97) second premium, $4. 



Patrick Mack, of Dover, (Whittemore & Belcher's Plow) third 

 premium, $2. 



The Committee recommend to the consideration of the Society, 

 to award a premium of |(5 to Henry Goulding, of Dover, for the 

 best work with the Michigan Subsoil Plow. The work is worthy 

 of the first premium, but this plow should not compete with other 

 plows, and there is no separate premium offered for this plow 

 with single teams.
