For the frat time during the week there was
what might be called a crowd at the Live Stock
Show In the Garden yesterday, and both after.
noon and evening the pens around tho arena
were surrounded by spectators. The many
children present enjoyed themselves by teasing
the cattle. poking the pigs, and carcssing tho
ponies. While in some respects the show lacks
the variety o flast years exhibition, it is unusu-
ally strong In prize cattle, sheep. and pigs. Tho
cattle on hand is valued at 100000, the sheep at
5000, and the swine at $4,000, making u total
of S10O, 900.
Owing to the interference OF the Society for
tho Prevention of Cruelty to Animals on
Wednesday evening the sheep driving contest,
which was to have taken place yesterday after
noon, was dispensed with and IA sheep shearing
contest substituted. Another event not on the
official programme occurred during the after
noon while the swine paraded around the ring.
1t caused no end of amusement for tho
spectators. even II 1t did disturb tho
serenity of one of the Judges. While Gladwin
the huge Berkshire boar which was so souudly
thrashed by his spouse LRnide on Wednesday
afternoon, was being led around the ring he
caught sight OF another boar on the other side
OF the arena. Breaking away from his keeper,
he dashed across tho Garden with grunts that
drowned the music of the band. The judges and
"ho hhPpChtu W v U II u III y pdlh
sought safety In flight. and all except Charley
Chamberlain succeeded. The latter, who was
making for the rrena fence at a John X. Gentry
Eait, was caught between the legs by Gladwin,
who rode him on his back for thirty feet and
then dumped him on the soft earth floor OF the
arena.
Outside of the judging and parading of prize
cattle, which WAS kept up almost continuously
during the afternoon and evening, the sheep
shearing contest attracted the most attention.
Six experts took part in the competition for the
three prizes. and the Judges considered rapidly,
nentDeSS OF work, and care of fleece.
Each man had u style that was entirely his
victims. After about half an hours work frat
prize was awarded to H. Gibson of Deleware.
Can, second prize to Dan TAYLOR OF Milhrook,
wood Hall, Tarrytown, n, Y.
During the afternoon tho managers of the

duce the price of admission in the evenings
