TOWN TEAMS. 



The Committee on Town Teams have attended to the duty assigned 

 them, and report as follows : 



Your Committee were unable to find but one entry of Town Teams, 

 that one from Leominster, by C. C. Boy den. 



We award Leominster the 1st premium, $30 00 



The Committee desire, also, to make honorable mention, and recom- 

 mend a gratuity of $5.00 to Reuben Vose, Jr., of Winchendon, for 

 3 yoke of very fine oxen exhibited, and driven by hinself. 



Your Committee in making the above report regret exceedingly to 

 find so little interest manifested among the farmers of the several tpwns 

 belonging to the Worcester North Agricultural Society, in the exhibi- 

 tion of their working oxen. The most serviceable of animals and best 

 friends of the farmer, are his team of working oxen. They are always 

 ready to do the work assigned them, and do it well. 



The committee feel that this branch of the exhibition should not be 

 suffered to die for want of competition. 



We commend and honor the Town of Leominster for their enterprise 

 in bringing forward for exhibition a string of 18 yoke of noble oxen, a 

 fine Town Team, all of which were in good working condition. 



The committee are not ignorant of the fact that towns remote from 

 the place of exhibition labor under disadvantage in getting up a Town 

 Team. Farmers are not all willing to let their teams go to be driven 

 so far as they would have to be in going to and from the Fair Grounds. 

 This objection is not valid in all the towns, some of which are as near 

 the Fair Grounds as Leominster.
