HORRIBLE
CONTESTS
Women and Children Saw
the Steers and Calves
Killedsat Butchers
Outing.
S. p. C. A. DID NOT INTERFERE
Officers of the Society Were
Present to Prevent Unne-
cessary Cruelty.
S. P. C. A. DID NOT INTERFERE

The calf and steer killing contests
which were among the chief attractions
at the annual picnic of the Hudson
Union Hill Schuetzen Park yesterday
afternoon and evening, took place with
out Interference on the part of the
officers on the S. p. c. A.
President George NJ. Mccarthy, of
the Society, sent S. T. C. A. Officer
William Luyster to the park to see that
he doomed animals We're not subject
ID to any unnecessary suffering.
Ghe killing was done with such dispatch
that Luyster found no cause TO inter-
fere and the contests were permitted to
go on. The only objection to the contests
was the fact that as large number of
women and children were allowed to wit
ness the horrible spectacle.
President Mccarthy said this morn
ing that he was not in favor of allowing
women and children to witness such
sights. He said that the sight of blood
and the struggles of the dying beasts
We're NJ fit spectaeles for any child or
woman. Had he known that women and
children We're to be permitted to see the
slaughter he said he would have taken
sips to have the audince restricted to men
only.
Contests similar to the one of yester-
day are held each year by the Butchers
Association. Last year the slaughter
was witnessed by nearly three thou
sand people. The butchers take great in
terest in the contests and betting on the
result is usually brisk. The butcher
who kills his animal and dresses the
carcase in the shortest time is awarded
the prize.
When the contests were initiated sew
eral years ago they created loud pro-
tests from residents of the county, but
upon Investigation it was learned that
the beasts selected for the knifet were
subjected to no more suffering than
those killed in an ordinary abattoir.
In fact the killing, is done much quicker
than in the regular slaughter house.
