THE AMERICAN INSTITUTES Show OF FAT CATTLE
AT THE CRYSTAL PALAcE-Like some other great
bodies great undertakings, this last effort OF the
American Institute to get up great cattle chow has
resulted in great failure. The public have been q
little excited upon the subject of turning the Crystal
Palace into stable or sort of Bulls Head for the
bibticn and sale of fat CATTLE and this was made
of argument for removing the Palace, in late
discussion in the Board of Aldermen The public, and
the public's humble servants, the Aldermen, may
quiet their fears upon this head about this bulls head
the bulls will not ipjure the Palace this year.
We went up yesterday purpose to see and report
upon the great show which had seen greatly sdvsr.
tired in newspapers and handbils, in public places,
raicars and upon brick piles and broad fences expect
ing to find sights worth seeing and in this we were
not disappointed. We did find good show of fat cat
lie. We really did not expect to find as many as We
shall find to-day only three squares of, at The Cattle
market. We did not expect to find thousand; We
did not know but we might find hundred head of fne
beevss worth showing. But we didn't, nor fifty, nor
forty nor thirty twenty, bat here Is what We did
find.
Tbrees pair OF four.year old grade Durham steers,
or more of pure blood, raised upon the
farm of Gov. Shelby, in Kentucky, and sent forward
with others for beef last May and bought by the fol-
lowing persons who have show their skill In feeding
to great perfection
J. Van Alstyne Of Columbia County, N. T., one
pair. one of which is q remarkably fine animal. The
pair now weigh ,isO pounds.
Charles @. Teed of Westchestsr County, n. Y, one
pair that weigh 1880 pounds.
Thomas Wheeler of the same County, one pair that
weigh 4, $50 pounds.
There is really but little difference In the value of
the three pa except the extra hundred pounds upon
Mr. Teeds, as the beef of all is well confirmed, and
vii show finely msrbled meat when butchered Mr..
Teeds steers have evidently had the most alton
,ion and show little the smoothest, while one of Mr.
Van Alstynes is real the finest animal in the lot
Beside the above, there is pair Of native red oxen,
of about the same weight Of the above, fed BY Levi
Van veet Of Clinton, Duchess County. These are an
aged pair of work oxen, that have been we'll fed, and
viii show well when opened.
Then there is pair Of whte grade Durhams, six or
seven years DID, fed in Weschester County, BY Hsr-
r.on Barnes, that weigh 1850 pounds, aud are good
beeves but do not show that they have had such nice
care a. the others.
There is very fine white Durham heifer, barren
and fat, four years old-no weight given-fed BY
Charles Bstheate of Westche.ter County.
With the exception of three toleraby good steers,
brought in by Col. Devoe, 90 to help to ell up" the
above constitutes the great show of fat cattle.
Where is, beside in the exhibition mean grade
Devon bull! pair of heifers marked " Darhsm"-to
US some new breed-owned by Ben Whitlock, who
may know good liquor and fancy horses, bu. he don't
know Duhsms if he calls these by that name. do
also has Dutch Gov, with very fs! calf.
Their is also exhibited, but whether for beef pre-

Ia. SHEEP of these We find three ewes that look
as though they were part South Down and part Cots
void, very good, but nothing remarkable from Daniel
Sands, Duchess County.
Larbs-Ten grade South Down from A. f. Hop.
kins, Carmel, Putnam County.
Prolific Sleep.-Robert L. Pell having bought the
entire flock Of Capt Smiths Nankin sheep seventy
two in number and having them their way to his
farm has brought them into the Palace for exhibition
and they certainly are curiosity. The value OF the
breed consists in their procness for meat rather than
wool. Three years ago, Capt. Smith imported three
ewes in lamb out of which Mr.. Pel says he has killed
for mutton, or hsd destroyed sc head, and lost As
lambs. He sold first to Mr.. Pel three ewes and one
buck and these number l6 now, and those, with the
~ now purchased make 49, while the whole increase
IL living. would make flock Of l69 head. Oos eve
has three small lambs. The fock have lived out OF
doors upon Capt Smiths island and had lambs in the
Winter, in q very promscuous manner.
So far we have enumerated the Cattle Show, unless
We include some coope of pigeons. Ofpoulhy We saw
none. alive or dead, and cannot say there are any
dead rabbits in the show, or that it is attractive
enough 10 bring any to the exhibition
sxAlIPox.-Msny unfounded rumors having gone
abroad as 70 the spread Of this disease and its great
fatality We bsvs taken the pains to inquire ct the City
In.pectors Oce, and can say, for the benefit Of al
concerned tina. the City Inspector has, through the
Health wsrden,, had every runored case Thoroughly
Investigated and the report has invariably shown sss'
these rumors were In almost every case totally I'm
founded. For instance, . report was published shss
the small poI vas very prevalent in Marion street. IL
was well known in the City Inspectors Department
that there had been several In Morton street. but
the report noticed above stated that Marion street wss
infected. On this information the Health Warden OF
the Fourteenth Ward examined every house n Ashsa
street and found no case Of contagious Jeus
