Impression so novel a treat might have on a " used-up "
French multitude, and to reckon the chances of their being
satisfied with a game, all the odds of which too obviously
lay on one vile. The master of the ring, Don Pablo Mesa,
seemed to be aware of the tenseness of last -unday's enter-
tahment, and had been at some pains to inform the public
that the bulls had during the interveeing week recovers d
trolls the fatigue of the voyage, and would be sure to behave
with better spirit on a second appearance. They were, however,
RS I said, hackneyed animals; they gave, after a few passes,
signs of weariness and even listlessness. They had not
much of the combative, and hardly any of the butche, ous,
nature about them ; they went through their evolutions as
through a lesson learnt by heart, and wore so thorough a
" " air about them that it took no little
trouble at the end to coax them through the wide-open door
back to their pen in the rear. The inere baiting of one bull
is like the saitieg of all other bulls, mid when the per-
formance has been repeated over and over again it must
needs pall Upell the same audience, unless diversified by
soine of those thrilling incidents against which we had been
officially insured. It is calculated that in Sr ails about

lieriod. Where the espasla, or swordsman, despatches at a
single show six or eight of the horned, champions on the one
side, ten, sir sometimes toots twenty, of the wretched picador
horses lie in the stunt on the other. Had even our jaded and
somewhat sleepy bulls enjoyed the free use of their horns,
not a few wounds would have been inflicted, for we heard the
thump of the tipped hurls, not only on the side, of the
horses, but also on the careless toreros. We were thankful,
no doubt, that we had to lament no hiss of life or limb ; that
no stream of Mood mistiest from the breast of the gored
horse, and that we did not see "his bowels hanging tin
festoons on the murderous horns." And when the death
signal woe given, and Gonzalo Mora, the °spade, made a feint
of going, thsough the killing scene sticking a dart skin-deep
where the se-old would have been plunged to the bit, sir
felt relieved at the thought that if the dexterity was real the
cruelty was mere make-believe. Still—still a climax was
evidently wanting to our over-wrought feelings; the same-
lie-s of the exhibition told even on the sanguine excitability
of those who were struck by its novelty ; and I heard
confident anticipations of 'setter fun in a week or two, when
Queen Christina of Spain, who has her marine pavilion hers,
would grace the fanciest with her presence, and when there
would be a call for the slaughter of at least one bull in her
Majesty's honour. II ow a Spanish matador could be expected
to kill a defenceless animal it is difficult to conceive, and it
is natural to presume that the Royal lady who Busy have in-
fluence enough tin bring a sword into the arena will also halve
power to have the knobs struck off from at leant one pair of
horns.
That the French enter into the spirit of the game in full
earnest I had good reason to be satisfied, trim the frantic
screams of delight they raised at any appearance of seeming

inent in the open air, with all the novelty, the variety, the
quaintness of the scene, it is evident that hive of mis-
chief lurked at the bottom of almost every spectator's en-
joyment. The French were delighted to hear the strangers
jabber betrayouiner in the unknown lingo ; they cried out
" Pica Toro! Braes Veto I" after them ; they roared with
pleasure on seeing the hats that some if the Spaniards
