WONDER OF THE WORLD.
ALHAMBRA PALACE.—The curiosity that ought to be awakened
by the portraits of ' a perfertning bul , visible 'con- the walls of
our metropolis, has, we fear, beten 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 London by an introduction
of the sports of savage Spain. The expression "bull fight,"
used in advertisements; had • caused a double mistake, exactly
'fitting the two constituents of the compound word, as was
clearly proved by investigation ; for there was no "fight" at
all, nor Ayes there a " wherewith to contend. A korse
disguised as a bull, with just Sufficient skill to deceive a totally-
blind man, was chased a little and pretended to die, equal y
disappointing those who feared to be shocked and those who
hoped to admire. The shepherd boy who cried " Wolf ! " when
there was none, found 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 horde,- a real bull, when he steps
into the arena' is likely to 'encounter no small amount of
incredulity. And this, no doubt, was the ease'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, find that he goes very creditably
through his tricks., Whether, as historians relate, ",he van-
quished the fenothied Matador Don Jcse Aquilla in one of the
most desperate struggles ever known in Havannah," we
cannot say, but we can affirm that last night he leaped with
tolerable grace through several hoops, that he flung an auda-
cious Wight who attempted to ride hini, being (of ceurse) a
stranger to the! exltibition ; that, bending his fore-legs, he
bobbled 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.
