INTERNATIONAL CATTLE SHOW AT CHICAGO. 
The Board have received from the Foreign Office infor- 
mation which has been furnished by Mr. Wyndham, Her 
Majesty’s Consul at ‘Chicago, relating to an International 
Live Stock Exposition which has been announced to take 
place at Chicago from the 1st to the 8th of December next. 
The show is stated to be organised in accordance 
with the wishes of the associated live stuck interests of the 
country, and that it is under the direction of the pedigree 
breeding associations and of the representative stockmen of 
the United States and foreign countries. It is intended 
purely for exhibition purposes, and its primary object is 
to display the improvement which has taken place in breed-

will be no gate money, inasmuch as there is no financial profit 
in view; but it is hoped that a fund will be created whereby 
the show will be repeated annually at Chicago. The scope 
of the exhibition will be very comprehensive, and it will 
include the various industries which are subsidiary to the 
meat trade. For instance, in addition to the show of cattle, 
sheep, and hogs, there will be exhibitions of (1) dressed 
meats and food products, showing the complete utilisation 
of all parts of the slaughtered animal used for food, as well 
as those paris not so used; (2) slaughter tests, showing the 
results of different feeding methods employed in fattening 
cattle for market, and the effect of different foods; (3) 
packing house methods and appliances, including Govern- 
ment inspection of meat, feeding appliances, and methods 
showing public inspection of live animals: and (4) trans- 
portation appliances of all kinds for the carriage of animals 
and meat. 
A cart-horse show will also take place, but with this 
exception the exhibition will be limited to the “ preparation 
of edible meats.” There will be feeding demonstrations, the
