Enoch,—I see in the Grey Reins that there is some dissatisfaction as to H. White getting so many prizes. The Assoo- iation had no control over these as they were speoials. Mr, White is also prepared to meet any plowman on any of the tests of that day. Now, 1 think any member of the Association would bank him to plow against any man in Grey or in the county, as he is a hard man to beat with the plow. If he would stick to the rules that he helps to make a little better there would bo less need for all this squealing and it would be better for the Association. You will see by an item in ]est week's POST that it was not for any detect in his plowing but for assistance in finishing his last green fur- row and ground furrow that he forfeited his right to the medal.

The horse is not attached to the plow, anti what esu you make of it ? Now, I will tell you what was done that day and the re was not a word said, I think it was in the second class the horses or horse was lead that was drawing the plow, why did not the Direc- tors 1ciOk at this as well as at the writer? I don't believe in making fish of one and making flesh of the other. Another instance I might refer to in one ease is ail helper plowing one round for a young plowman. Regarding the medal, what does the Assoc- iation intend to do with it? It certainly is not the property of the Association as the judges most deoidely awarded the writer it, and supposing the writer was not worthy of d, I say then it Should be a,vardedto the next bast plowman as there was more than one plowman in the medal class.
