“PLOUGHING MATCH.

The Committee on Ploughing, beg leave to report, that although there were some twelve entries on the books, but six entered on the ground, and but one plough of any merit. They awarded the first premium of §15, to the Gettysburg plough, known as the Witherow Plough, invented by R. G. Ware; no other premium for ploughs.”
