Prizewinning ploughmen

A Ploughing Match was held on Saturday last, on an excellent field belonging to Mr Davidson, Mains of Cairnbrogie.  Five Pounds were given by the Garioch Farmer Club; and, by a subscription on the field, given by Mr Ramsay, Straloch, and others, five pounds nineteen and sixpence were added to it.  Twenty-eight Ploughs started, each ddrawn by one pair of horses, except one by a pair of oxen, which gained the seventh prize.  The judges were, Mr Milne, Mains of Esselmont; Mr Elmslie, Mains of Barra; Mr Wallace, Auchnacant; the work was in general so well performed, that the judges had difficulty in fixing the prizes; which were awarded as follows, viz.:-

1.	To David Reed, servant at Tillygreig,	£1-10-0
2.	To John Freeman, Fingask,	£1-7-6
3.	William Low, Ardlethen,	£1-2-6
4.	Alexr. Burnet, Quarry,	£1-0-6
5.	Alexr. Heary, Woodland,	£0-17-6
6.	David Falconer, Tillygreig,	£0-15-0
7.	Alexander Finlater, Straloch,	£0-12-0
8.	William Moir, Cairnbrogie,	£0-10-0
9.	William Allardes, Craigie,	£0-7-6

The state of the funds, enabled the Managers to give 3s. each, to the nineteen unsuccessful candidates; the spectators were numerous, and high gratified.
