OPENING OF THE UNIVERSAL CATTLE SHOW AND AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITION. Dram ova owls coussrownine.) PARIS, SUNDAY The Universal Cattle Show and Agricultural Ex hibition was opened in the Paleis de 'lndustrie, at noon to-day. The weather was delightful, and the many thousands who flocked to a spectacle of a kind suite novel to most of them, appeared highly grati. lied. The choice of the site was excellent. I re marked lest year that the Champ, de Man was too I far The population of Paris would not go to the extreme outskirts of the city to see a lot of bulls and cows, at the risk of being ankle deep in mud, and spoiling Sunday coats and bonnets. his true that for a review, a race, or a Mt* of any kind that they understand they will go much further, but they don't understand cattle. The markets and the slaughterhouses are all outside the barriers, and there are many Parisians who never in their lives maw a Use ox except the liceuf Gras. Accordingly I had to notice both last year and the year before the paucity of visitors in the Champs de Mars. There were, it is true, a good many people, but they were almost all from the provinoes. To-day on the contrary, when the exhibition was brought home to their doors, the Parisians patronised it in such great • numbers as completely to swamp the provinces. On a mere view one would have said that the mass of visitors, both gentlemen and ladies, were in fashionable costume. The rustics were unruly per ceptible la the crowd. I can bat speak in the highest terms of all the arrangements for this exhibition, with the single exception of the one which, by refusing to the representatives of the pressaprivate view (un less under false pretences, sea shepherd or a friend of an exhibitor),prevents me from giving you to-day anything like a systematic account of what there was to see. I can only mention what struck me most in the course of a first visit to the vast arena. Regarded as a mere promenade, the Falai. de nod:tittle is infinitely more charming now than it was during the Universal Exhibition last year. The entire nave, which was then crowded with furniture of all sorts and sizes, heaped together necessarily without much regard tosymmetry, isnow transformed into a delicious garden. There are lawns, gravel-walks, fir-trees and cypresses, fountains and flower-baskets. The coup trail from the galleries is charming, and alone well worth the single franc paid for admission. By the way, it was a wise decision of the Minister of Agriculture not to fix any absurd extra price, such as sfr. or 10fr., for the opening day. Had he done so, I am certain that the plate would have presented a de. serted appearance. As it was, although from the time of the opening of the doors they were besieged by a Queue of people some half quarter of a mile long, there was plenty of room for every body inside. There was a remarkable ab sence of any display of sergens de ville. Everybody @initiated at pleasure, just as they do in England, without being unnecessarily pushed about in compliance with complicated police arrangements. The entire space underneath the galleries is occupied by bulls and cows (the espies boviWe). The sheep, pigs, and poultry are outside, where indeed are a portion of the bovine species, (including the Derry cattle), for want of room in the interior. It is im possible not to admire the neatness of the arrange , meats for stalling the beasts. The state of their litter and the general cleanliness does the highest credit to the management of the Exhibition. There never was in the world before such an agglo meration of cattle of different races, and they are so disposed that every individual beast may be inspected with perfect comfort. On entering the building by the principal door, the English are found ranged on the right hand. The Durham shorthorns are the first numbered in the catalogue. Of these there are 120 —sixty bulls and sixty cows. I must remind you here that this is an exhibition of breeding animals, and not of beasts for the slaughter-hone, like the Christmas show in London. Following the cat& loge., we some to Herefords, Devons, Alderney., and Guernsey.. Bootleg:id occupies a very large spare in the Exhibition. The Ayrshire and Galloway races were upon the whole more admired than any others. This part of the Pallas was the mast crowded throughout the day. After taking leave of the Galloway. it is necessary to go outside to see the black Kerry kin., and a variety of mixed English breeds, which are thrust out into a tent, where, however, they are very comfortable. On re turning we come to pens containing 200 Swiss cattle of many varieties,. The Fribourg and Berne besets are fine fat animals, said to be of Hungarian descent, but looking like a cross between a Durham and a Charolais. Other Swiss cattle, as the Ober- Hull, are much smaller, and wilder in ap pears-ace. A little while before approaching their pen I was at a loss to account for a continued tinkling of despimouthed bells of various and beautiful tones. I afterwards found out the mystery. I had heard the Ranz des Vaches without knowing it. The bolls which the animals usually carry were hung up In front of them, and they from time to time pushed them with their heads. I at once gneesed that the sound commit(' them for their absence from their native hills and valleys, . and I was confirmed in my surmise by a shepherd, who told me that the bells were put there on purpose to tranquilise them. After the Swiss come the German races in great variety. The greatest novelty in the exhibition was the Hungarian section. Four draught oxen of a light grey colour (Noe. 722 to 723), sent by the Countess Petronetta Csaky-Csaky, have sharp-pointed horns at least a yard long. France makes a very good chew indeed. One is much struck by the care with which the different races are arranged. There are the Charolaise all white, the Flemish red, the Garonnaiiis dun colour, the Bretons black and white, &e., &c., all classed 110• carding to the purest ty pee of their races. The mixed breeds are put in separate pens. I am too much pressed for time to say a word about the sheep and pigs. The Court of Caseation being appealed to by M. Rogeard, one of the students implicated in the die tarbances at M. Nissrd's lectures, against the eon tense passed by the Correctional Tribunal and con firmed by the Imperial Court, his quashed the judg ment. The supreme court agreed with the courts below that M. Nisard was a public functionary, bet held that as there was no proof that he had made any complaint, the prosecution must fail. . . - People still talk much of M. Place's failure. The smash, it seems, was brought about in this way : A friend, who had lent him a large sum, felt a little aueuinese on account of his proposed journey to Constantinople. He spoke on the subject to another friend, who exclaimed, .. Why, I have lent him moor/ too." Inquiry followed, and it was found that many others had also been bit. It is, however, reported today that a good dividend will be paid. M. Place was preeeeted to the Emperor by M. de Moray, only a few days ago, es one of the leading Anemias of Paris.
