being' room. to,', walk on the grass between'; the feting'.' furrows,'/ Hi! finished, too, were furrow being finished, in, the middle, which did not at ail improve the appearance of the work. ,v Thwe was only one implement in this^ass,' and the work done was watched with great interest by ' the ftirmers, We judges expressed regret tW. tu» -Jj 6 uo t a b| e to bo p re3 j nt t work so as to be able to decided opinion of its merits, S : Broom (j. Hussy) was Rflßrded the second prize in this vliiss. ] boys' cuss. Public ouinioii wes fairly upset 1 y the judges, ill tliis class,'as H,Pn«lon r s work was the admiration of all present, and opinions were expressed that he would have stood a. good show in the men's competition if he'had entered against them. However, S, Ladington, junr,,. took, first prizo with some very rough work with a doublo-furrow plough/ In some places he failed to turn up, the land, and his entrance and finishes of the furrows were' dono in a very slumming manner. There is this to bo said; lie had an uneven piece of land, with rushes and' : an occasional gorse hedge to contend against, H. Preston, (second prize) did excellent work with a single furrow, his Hues being-first class, packing and finishes good, and taken altogether, was really ut capital performance.' W. Wostbrook, double furrow, was looked upon as second prize taker, and the quality of his work to all appearance fully justified the. opinion expressed, as it was dono in a very creditable manner. • The implements used by the prizetakers in the double furrow class'wcrb' all from the well-known 'firm of Messrs Eeid and Gray, Dunedin,' there boing two Hornsby's and two Duncans among tho ten com petitors.. The whole of the implements in' the single-fun'ow were tho local favorito Watson plough made'' byMrF. Gray, Mastorton.' The subsoiler and boys' double plough (first prize taker) also came from Eeid and Gray's, the second prize- boy's single plough being one of Hornsby's, " TIIELAND. The paddock was rather tussocky and light,' and hardly' suitable for a. good display of ploughing, the ground having a tendency to crumble on being turned up. The' length of-grass, too was not in favor of the .ploughmen. SUGGESTION. At future meetings would suggest that each' competitor should stand by the side of his dissected implement, and on the raising of the flag start connecting it and go to-work. This ' would prove that the men were, ac- ( quainted with the 'implement they were working, and save the interference of attendants, who yesterday were , continually assisting some of the competitors to guage and work their ploughs. THE DINNER, Botween forty and fifty sat down to an excellent spread at tie Club Hotel, ] ""' l ''ins generously providing the f rs with a fine repast. Mr', W. C. Buchanan occupied the head of the table, supported by the judges and several of the Committeo. After full ] justice had been done the usual loyal toast was duly honored. His Excellency's health was drank, followed by musical honors. Tho prize takers, Judges, Committee, Press, " Chairman, and Host and Hostess, were were given and responded to, and f songs were rendered by Messrs Wickerson and Winter. .
