This match was a great victory fmaliuron, they havingiqaken seven prizes out of the ten, and the first six at that. The most striking figure among the band of plowmen was the .old veteran, Robert Bell, who at that dine was 60 years of age, and one • of his team was 33 years. I have rib doubt if the age of the other:was 'added, they would have reached the century, rnarkea very rare pombination.

"Well," he said, "mine and Sandy's are the two best, I don't know which -will be first." I suppose his judgment was not. far as- tray, only for a mistake he made in finishing, which put him back to fifth place. The winners were: First, Sandy Monteith; second, a young man who at that time worked for Mr. Bell, and I think his -name was Merkle; third went to Mr. Bell, 'fourth to Adam Whiteford, of Rodgeryille; fifth to the old veteran, Robert Bell; sixth to Thomas Smear, grandfather to our present genial tax collector; sev- enth and eight to two Perth- u men; pin* to a young man. .by name of Trotter, who worked at that time for old Mr. Habldrk at the Maitland; and the tenth was taken by a big burly Scotehmaa ,who ehortly before that crossed the big pled and if he with a cheer on their 11 e, we. have the answer why it is o.

The reason I ask this question is that some fifty years ago, almost every township in the County had its annual fall plowing match, which I think Was a great benefit to the County. I remember one veteran, Sandy MOnteith, telling me thefirst lesson in farming was to learn to plow straight. This fact 'rn be amply verified by looking at he beautiful straight line, drawn on the farm of Alexander Thompson, o the second ii concession of_ Stanley an others. One of the grandest sights 1 ver saw was a challenge match between Huron and Perth, ten plows aside, which took place in April, 1859, on the farm of Pigs--Ptair little pigs, George Love.

A coat in the seat became entangled about Miss Mercer's head and when the accident eves discovered by Mr. Barer, an hydro electric officer, about ten minutes later, she was unconscious. MT: Bury was able to release Miss Mercer, but it was some time before the tar was removed sufficiently to admit of Miss Pringle's body being taken out.
