THOMAS BILLINGS, Chairman. 



PLOWING— DOUBLE TEAMS.* 



Your Committee on Plowing with Double Teams 

 were hardly able to decide whether to give a premium 

 to Edwin A. Goodrich and Charles Farwell or not, as 

 the oxen on their teams took the first premium last 

 year, but as part of the members thought they would be 

 allowed to compete and also the President and Secre- 

 tary of the Society ; therefore we award to Edwin A. 

 Goodrich and Charles Farwell the first premium of 

 $7,00 ; and to Joel Page and S. S. Shattuck the second 

 premium of $5,00; and to Alonzo P. Goodrich the 

 third premium of §3,00. Your Committee were of the 

 opinion that where the oxen have taken the highest 

 premium with one horse that they ought not to be 

 allowed to compete with another horse. 



Your Committee regret much that their Chairman, 

 Nathaniel Wood, Esq., was not present. 



G. S. BEAMAN, For the Committee.
