The match was conducted as follows: One
hundred feet was staked off and divided into
sections of go feet. The width and depth of the
| furrow were taken at each station, from which
| the average width and depth of furrow turned
up by each pillow was obtained.
| The draft of the plows was tested by dyna.
mometer, the result being stated as follows;
Syracuse, $50 lbs Gale, 564; Davis, $40
Wizard, SOL; Oliver, 6s5; Remington. 1888,
| The Judges, Messrs. Vim. Woolscy, r. John
Rogers and George Keny, reported IN accord
| ance with the record made by each pillow, and
| awarded the first place for lightness of draft to
| the Syracuse pillow.
The Syracuse men, five or six of whom were

the others charge unfairness in the management
| of the match. For instance, it is asserted that
in blowing the first round by the Syracuse, the
dynamometer indicated only $50 lbs. draft, and
in the next round more than 400 lbs. Protests
| have been entered against the conduct of the
match and the representatives of the various
plows that contested with the Syracuse have
challenged the latter to another trial to he
conducted by diSinterested farmers Of the coun-
ty.
The Judges say that the Syracuse WAS the
only pillow on the ground that was handled In n
way to do the hest work of which IT was capa-
! bic, and that their decision was based upon the
record made by each plow
The trial, altogether, does not appear to have
convinced any one that their favorite pillow is
not still the best
