Explanation:

At the beginning of the book The Call of the Wild, we see that Buck is a dog with a comfortable life in California. He lives in a large farm with a kind family. However, as the story progresses, Buck has to face increasingly difficult situations. These take place in less civilized places, such as the Arctic. In order to survive such situations, Buck has to turn to his animal instincts.

well stockyards mean a large yard containing pens and sheds, typically adjacent to a slaughterhouse, in which livestock is kept and sorted. and i'm assuming that by party you   mean a large group of people which does make sense because chicago is a very crowded place much like new york. stockyards tend to take up a lot of room due to needing the area for pens to keep animals in and the fact that stockyards are usually right by slaughterhouse where they process and distribute the product. so its much like a zoo but with some dead animal products close by.
