In deciding as to the claims of competitors in
The First Class, the viewing committee will have
due regard to the blood and appearance: but 1t
being considered important to have useful rather
than fancy horses introduced amongst us, the
horse best adapted to the use of the prairie farmer
will have the preference.

Size alone will not merit the premiums in the

PnltRIE PLowING. The committee having
omitted to offer a premium for the best specimen
of pnwing, and the Secretary knowing there is
nothing that adds more to the interest of these
farmers exhibitions than spirited blowing
match, desires u offer premium that shall insure
the entrance of numerous competitors. The
PREMIUM PlOW will be as much desired as
any thing, aud trusting the successful compc;i-
tor will not be too exhorbitant in his price for
it, the Secretary agrees to purchase the pillow to
which the first premium shall I've awarded and
give it as premium for the best acre OF rlow-
ing tho decision to be made by the above COM
mittee. Unless other duties should interfere,
which will not probably he the case, the p'owlng
match viii take place on Wednesday, at 2o'clock,
p. NJ. If the premium pIow will not produce a
spirited strife, VIC will acknowledge there is no
taste for handsome blowing in the West. Iiur.
