OUR CENTENNIAL LETTER.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. z, 1876.
The Centennial live stock dis
play. embracing the finest exhib-
it's of horses, mules, dogs, horned
cattle, sheep, swine, goats and poul
try ever seen in this country, will
soon open at the new yards which
have been established at the inter-
section of Lancaster and Girard av-
enues, at cost to the commission
of $4,000. Over 400 stalls for hors-
es and 800 for cattle have been erec-
ted, and all of these substantially
built aud conveniently appointed
being abundantly supplied with
water, and illuminated at night
with gas. All the yards will be IN
der the surveillance of the centen-
NAL police, the centennial bureau OF
agriculture having supervision OF
the entire arrangements. The ami
mails. for which entries are already
being made, are of a class entirely
different from that usually seen at
the county and State fairs, as the
conditions of admission are based on
lineal descent from purest breeds.
The Canadian display will IN
doubleday be very Fl ne one, the
whole mum Der of arrivals from that
country amounting to over $50
These are being selected by a com
mission appointed by the provision
al government, which pays all trans
portatiOn expenses on condition
that the animals are such as to do
credit to the country. The compe'
tition of Canada will be not only
international, but also between the
provinces themselves, as the com.
missioners offer special priz es fol
the best cattle from each province
The competition as to animals en-
tered for display will be according
to age and sex, the judges being re-
CURED to make written reports, at
tested by their own signatures, up
on all animals of high merit; these
reports being regarded in business
point of view are of higher value
to successful breeders than the med
ais and diplomas which constitute
the additional features of awards
As an evidence of the high class
of the exhibits expected, it is an
nounced that remarkably fine sheer
of the Cotswold and other breeds
recently exhibited at the royal agri
cultural display at Birmingham
England, will be well represented
LAG of these being now on their wa!
direct to Philadelphia from that ex
hibition. The aggregate of entire
to date includes 700 horned cattle
300 fine bred horses and 400 dogs
, While entries may be made up t
the opening of each section of tn
, exhibition, it is important to exhib
.. itors to be in time, as lat
corners will lose the opportunit
/ of having their display regularl!
catalogued.
The several periods devoted tt
each class in the live stock displa
