We describe an N-body Monte Carlo model for the evolution of the clustering of galaxies in an expanding universe. The model is designed to increase the useful dynamic range in space and time over that afforded by the conventional N-body model. In the Einstein-de Sitter cosmology the Monte Carlo model yields a two-point correlation function ξ(r, t) that varies with separation r and time tin the way expected from scaling arguments. The size of the three-point correlation function agrees with what is found in the Lick galaxy sample.
