Fair of the American Institute-The Cattie-
Show, &c.

The Lattlc-SlOW VI tIS nm $500
opened to the public On Wednesday. we looked
through the exhibition yesterday at Madison Cot
tagc Twenty third st and were impressed with
the evident fact that the present Show OF Live
Stock is far superior to that Of former years The
display of Poultry, Fat Cattle, Improved Breeds
etc is much better than at any Fair III this region
Cor u number of years. There IS tine show OF
Poultry, comprising variety OF rare breeds. f.
pair of white China Geese are exhibited by VIM
Moore of New-Yorl also par of China Fowls,
six months old, of enormous size. Eleven white
Turkeys, four months old, plump and sieek are
shown By A. Post of Fishkil. There is also tine
par of Turkeys, apparently cross between the
Domestic and the w lid.
Among the Cattle we noticed some fine speci-
mems OF of the Short-Horn Devon, Hereford, Ayr
shire and other breeds full-blooded Short-Horn
Bull is an excellent specimen.
A number of Sheep are exhibited. Among
them is fine lot of South Downs lately importedi
bred by Jonas Webb in Cambrdgeshire, England
They arc one-yearold, and have fine coat OF
wool.
A number of corpulcnt pigs, mostly Berkshres,
arc comfortableooking but not enticing speci-
mems Of animated nature.
Several pairs Of Fat Cattle show what can be
done in the way of laying ON flesh by dint OF
careful treatment and abundant fodder. The
chief of this lot is monster OK known as Red
,Jackct-o animal weighing some 1900 pounds,
raised in Erie County, aud destined for the ap-
preaching Worlds Fair in London. The animal
is eight years old measures IA feet i'll length l04
feet girth, 49, hands high, and otherwise in pro
portion He will remain on exhibition some time
after the close of the cattle show.
An enormous pair of cattle, seven years old
are also exhibited from Poughkccpsic. There Is
also very good display of Horses and Jacks
The former are remarkably fine animals a
Shepherd DOG from Smithiied attracted consider
able attention as the only representative OF his
species on the ground.
Altogether, the Show is worth visit and we
recommend all admirers of Live Stock to avail
themselves of the last opportunity presented to-
day. We understand that the Premium animals
will all be designated at and after - o'clock.
- The Far at Castle Garden is still drawing
hundreds of visitors daily. We notice few more
articles on exhibition:
The Patent ,Sclt C00ling GrtstlL71S of Mr. b.
HARRISON will reward the attentive examination
of the machinist and the miller. The peculiarly
Of the invention is that the Mills are kept entire
IL cool while grinding, by strong blast of air.
which is driven by the pully III contact with the
Burr-stone grinders. The Mills are thus war
ranted not to heat Flour and Meal to the extent
formerly induced by the old machines and will
require only one-holf the power A mill of this
description weighing 1000 lbs. will grind 30 bush
els of fine meal per hour-making COO revolutions
per minute. The cost ranges from 500 to 5000
each The stones are so arranged that they do
not strike together IN grinding the finest -four and
meal, and consequently retain their sharp edges
until worn off by the grain The framework and
hoppcrs are of iron the parts are SO contrlyed as
to be readily taken to pieces when required, and
the invention contains q number OF other advan-
tagcs which must be seen to be thoroughly ap-
preCintcd.
The Wrought IRON ITuc Ratings Gates, etc.
exhibited at the right of the Bridge by Mr.. John
b. Wickersham OF No 81 Lewis-st. New York,
will commend this peculiar mode of construction
of homework to the favor of those desiring TO pur-
chase. We have heretofore alluded TO this new
manufacture at considerable length and invite at
tention to the samples ON exhibition. The facility
of weaving the Iron to any pattern, its durability
ana superiority III i''i RESPECTS - e''ss -'o' ~
have caused its generoladoption where its adyan-
tagcs have been fully understood.
K1,oes Hats, inside, will not fail to attract at
tention. Knox is wellknown to citizens stran
gers and everybody who reads the papers, His
Hats have travelled far and wide, and meet the
concentrations OF those who wear them His
