NEWMARKET AND DISTRICT PLOUGHING ASSOCIATION. ANNUAL MATCH AT WHITFORD" This old established ploughing association, whose district embraces the parishes of Newmarket, Whitford, Cwm, Gwaenysgor, Llanasa, Meliden, and Dyserth, and from Pont Dafydd, St. Asaph, to Foryd Bridge, Rhyl, held its annual match, in a field on Plas Uchaf farm, in the parish of Whitford, on Wednesday, the 10th instant. The clima- tic conditions were everything that could be desired, and the field selected for the trial of the ploughman's skill was in every way adapted for the purpose. Its isolated posi- tion at the extreme end of the district, per- haps, was a drawback from a gate' point of view. Anyway, the number of spectators present was far below the average at the gatherings of this society. In the matter of entries too there was a perceptible falling off, the number being, in the first class, nine; in the second class, fourteen. Though the work done could not be said to be of an extraordinary high standard, still it was of excellent average merit, and in both classes the competitors ran each other very closely, as was proved by the fact that it took the judges an hour and a half to arrive at a de- cision. This year, the president was the Right Hon. Lord Mostyn, the vice-presidents being Messrs. James Folds, Pentreffynnon, Whitford and J. Lloyd Price, Mertyn Hall. The field stewards were Messrs. McNicol, Mostyn Scott, T. E. Williams, Pentreffyn- non and Master John Owens, Plas Uchaf. Messrs. W. Jones, Fachallt; J. Bagshaw, Celyn and D. Owen, Tyddyn uchaf, Whit- ford, acted as stewards in the first class; whilst Messrs. E. Griffiths, Bryn Coch, and E. Griffiths, Gareg, Whitford, acted in a similar capacity in the second class. The duties of judges were entrusted to Messrs. R. Foulkes, Birkenhead, and Daniel Davies, Prestatyn, in the first; Messrs. W. Lloyd, Croea Faen, Ysceifiog, and Joseph Price, Pen uchaf, Caerwys, in the second class and to Messrs. T. Lloyd Ellis, Rhyl; Evan Jones, Brynllithrig, Cwm, and David Jones, Cwm, in the classes for the best team, and neatest turn out. Mr. John Roberts, Tyny- caeau, Gwaenysgor, carried out the secre- tarial duties to the satisfaction of all con- cerned. THE AWARDS. 1st class, open to all England:-Ist, Chas.

Votes of thanks were passed to Mr. Folds for distributing the prizes (in the unavoid. able absence of Lord Mostyn), and to Mr. John Roberts, the undefatigable secretary.
