Mr. Howler has engaged the above at an enormous eipense.
Tht opinions of the I4ndon Press far exceeds any encomiums
ever before received, and stamps this as 'the GREATEST
WONDER OF THE WORLD.
. AWIAMURA ZLTiACE.—The curiosity that ought to„beawakeoed
by the portraits of a performing. bull, visible on the walls of
our metropolis, has, we fear, been somewhat abated by the
reminiscence of a sham bull who figured some time ago at the
Alhambra Palace, and whose announced death led two or three
real (or pretended) enemies to cruelty to lift their voices
against a desecration of immaculate Lo'ndozi by an introduction
of the spots of savage Spain, The expression "bull fight,"
used in advertisements, had paused a double mistake, exactly
fitting the two constituents of the compound word, as •was
clearly proved by investigation ; for there was no "right" at
all, nor was there a "bull" wherewith to contend. 'A liorse
disguised as a bull, with just sufficient skill to dedeive a totally
Mind man, was chased a little and pretended to die, equal y
-disappointing those who feared to be shodked and those who
hoped to admire. The shepherd boy who cried " Wolf !" when
there was none, fourid himself deserted by his friends when
the marauder actually invaded his fold, and we may infer
by analogy, that when a person raises a cry of " Bull !"
and exhibits a disguised horse, a real bull, when he steps
into the arena, is likely to encounter no small amount of
incredulity. And this, no doubt, was the case with the bull
"Don Juan," who last night made his first appearance at
the Alhambra Palace. Under these circumstances it is the
bounden duty of every lover of truth to diffuse knowledge of
the fact that this bull, " Don Juan,',' is not a horse, but a
veritable specimen; of the bovine species, trained to an extra-
ordinary degree of docility, and that he goes very creditably
through his tricks. Whether, as historians relate, "he van-
quished the renowned Matador Don Jcse Aquina in one of the
most desperate struggles ever known in aVan
cannot say, but we can affirm that last night iihenleaaphednwiwthe
tolerable grace through several hoops, that he flung an auda-
cious wight who attempted to ride him, being (of course) a
stranger to the exhibition; that, bending his ore-legs, he
hobbled round the ring on his knees, and that altogether,he
fairly earned the honour of being'carried out of the ring on a
large platform by a troop of lusty gentlemen, who employed
their shoulders for his glory. IT •IS SUFFICIENT TO
DECLARE THAT "DON JUAN" IS NOT AN IMPOSTOR.
