Probably tie writer was the spirit Of some departed
ancient nhabtant of " Franklin-squsre," and hence
tie mitbomer Of Ifsmton-square, a name which has
been applied to vacant spot Of ten acres Of ground
not at the location above Heated Blu, several street,

pens and coop-, for horse. bulocks sheep pigs and

the ground inclosed yesterday ascertain the prospect.
and probabilities of seeing great Cattle Show"
We found tie entrybook in charge OF young gentle
man who we have doubt, is sufficiently acquainted
with stock to enable him to distinguish bull from
horse or lcng-wool sheep from Shanghae rooster,
and politely requested him to let US look at the number
Of entries. He inquired if we wished to CO.
ter any stock, and upon being Informed
that We wished to the book for another purpose,
he excused mself from showing it because he so
that be could not spare il but very kindly offered to
show it if we would make it convenient to call in the
evening II was not convenient 70 We cannot tell the
public II number of arrivals that will be exhibited.
We can tel, however, that during the hour We re-
msired we did not hear OF a single application
for the services Of the entry clerk and d not see
but three animals in all the pens. We heiri, how.
ever, that Mr. Tbore brought bis prize herd here
from Philadelphia, Saturday hight, having been ad
verised that the ground ready for reception of
stock, but fnditg no provision for feeding them, he
sent them home to bis farm in Duehess County The
managers adve tised their readiness to receive stock
Saturday, and that all Of it must positively be on
the ground before ten o'clock Tuesday. We hope it
will be, and enough Of i. to make great show,
for the premiums offered very hbcral-suffi, lent
We should think, to FIJI all the stalls with noble AMI
mails and that would be sufficient nducement to Gil
the incosure with visitors. route for carriages
around inside Of the ncosure has been rallied in
to allow visitors to enser and drive around at a charge
not exceeding the tickets Of footmen; but we must
say that the plan of making all enter and
exit through one narrow gate, shows still narrower
mind in the management that has made this mi SCRABBLE
arrangement and also shows that if the managers DO
expect "great Cattle Show they do not expect
great show Of visitors. For those who come foot
there is door for ngress and egress. True
this shows enconomy, as it requires but door
keeper, and saves expense. II Gls0 shows that the
mana gers have confidence that more than
row gate will be at all necessary to accommodate all
that will come TO see them And the result will show
that where managers have not confidence enough to
anticipate and prepare for crowd, that there a crowd
never goes. The masses of men only follow a bold
leader who spares expense for their accommoda-
ton or to crafty the public curiosity Other Agricu
tura Societies provide not only shelter, but feed ad
bedding for the sto,k brought in to make up their
show while here rohng is provided except for
price that will be onerous upon prize winners land
iuinous upon others who i'll afford to contribute SO
much toward making up great Cattle-Show.'
OF one thing the public need have fear; and that
is, of being able to find convoyances to reach the
ground The managers went yesterday afternoon to
talk with the President of the Harlem Railroad about
running extra trains from the City Hall to Hamilton

not doubt that the sixty on the Third avenue,
running every two minutes quito up to the square
which lies above xty-fouIh st,ct-without change 81
CARS at Sx'y.frst-wil enable each indivi iua o the
crowd to get rc who raise five cents to pay the
fare. P,rhape however the grand exhibition talked
o-hat is to come off FRIDAY and Satlrlay-o ladies'
and gentlemen riding and driving, will draw ont more
people than we anticipate, so as to oyerburden the
cars; but we think not Perhaps, taken all in ell, thi'
will be a great Cattle Sbow-such great one a. IL
worthy of such great city, and such one as will be
worthy such an association the world suppOses lives
