NOVEL FEATURES AT THE CHICAGO STOCK SHOW.

' Sheen Doe Trials. One o t the M 2 interesting and instructive features of the International Live Stock Exposition, Dec. 2 to 9, will be the ,sheep dog trials. There is nothing more dear to the shepherd than his dog, nor has he a more useful companion and friend. In the Highlands of Scotland, where some of the best shepherds come from, and where their dogs, the Scotch' sheep dogs known, it is a common thing for these men to take their dogs to church with them and to hear the “Meenister O’ the Kirk O’Scotland” preaching to a congregation of shepherds and their dogs. The shepherd could not do without his dog, and the Collie particularly, through years of breeding and training ha* become almost human in instinct and Intelligence, and It is these wonderful canine traits that will be for the first time in a Live Stock Show ip this country.-' ' 1 Fens and gates and sheep will be provided In the arena/where the master will showhis visitor* kow his dog assists him in getting the sheep ip and out Of these places, as well ae demonstrating the. aihount of time and tabor he saves. Nothing con possibly appeal more to the great Sheep owners and shepherds of this country than a demonstration of this kind, and It is confidentially believed that this unique and useful feature will be one of the mose interesting exhibits. f - .<,iW Bey Scouts. 5.-, < ; ■ Another feature that will strongly appeal to the general public will be a demonstration by three or four hundred boy scouts, in first aid to the,injured,"erecting tents, raising the flag and playing some of their games. It is needless to mention the good that boy scout organisations are doing in this country and in Europe, for not only have they proved themselves competent to perform, all kinds of duties on the field; notwithstanding their tender agS, but they are perfecting themselves for work of inestimable value when they r&d tite age of manhood. There is no country In the world where the instruction of youths is carried to greater perfection than the, United States, nor is there any other where boys have greater chances to show what they are made of—and there is no doubt that the performances of these youngsters will open the eyed and astonish the spectators. Push Bull Contests. These contests both on foot and on horseback, and which caused so much fun and merriment last year, will be another item of the program, which In itself is well worth going to see. The games between the contesting teams are full of keenest?, fpr the jlval packing and commission houses as well as the Stock Yards Company, will be represented, <uid every .man in the respective team is looking for a fall out of his rival, tend #• know what rivalry in the stock yards district means.
