Times gives the following sketch OF Sunday royal
amusements

September 7-To-dav being Sunday, at noon the
Queen OF Spain, accompanied by her mother, sister
and royal guests, went TO the Cathedral, where
Pontlfical mass was performed by the Bis1op of
Pampeluna. On quitting church, old Queen and
young Queen, Infanta and Duchess, the Duke de
Nemours and Duke d'Aumale, fastened to the am

one picador out of five made his appearance when
seventh bull was introduced. The latter bulls were
stronger and tiercer than the others they were at
least five, perhaps six years old.
The Duke de Nemours, In appreciation OF the
skill of Monts in Fridays combat, sent him pres

young pcador who distinguished himself on the
same occasion. LIZ Primera Espada de Espasa,
