a FEMALE COMPETITOR AT A PLOUGH
ING MATCH.-The Quimper agricultural
competition took place last week in the COM
muLe oil BeuZee Cong, canton % CoEcarneau
The attendance of farmers and spectators
was very large. The Fnistere relates the
following incident -" a young girl of the
commune of Bauriec, Mile Fourier accom-
panied by younger sister of fourteen, pre-
SSnte-. herself with her Implements to con
test The prize for ploughing. y similar case
never having occurred, the judges were at
iirst somewhat embarrassed; out as nothing
IN the programme prohibited such a COM
petitor, she was, to her great satisfaction
ADMITTED. She then, without hesitation as
the idN8nter
and jeers OF her opponents, took great pains
10 see that her pillow was in perfect order and
Inc signal being given, she executed her task
with so much ease and address that she did
rot appear 10 experience any fatigue. BY the
unanimous opinion of the committee she
was considered TO have gained the first prize
not only because her work was superior, but
iurther, because she took fourteen minutes
less IN dong it than any of the others. That
decision was so much the more gratifying TO
al present, as the fact became known that
her mother is a widow; she being the eldest of
four girls, manages by their assistance to do
all the work of IL farm."-PaU .MuQ Gdzeffe
