the stall containing the restive bull The only
weapon Of the cavaliers was short light spear

threw his rider, who was compelled to leave
the arena seriously wounded. The hero of the
day, D. Antonio Romero, now alone remained,

the spectators to pitch Of the most frantic en-.
thusiasm, and the danger the cavalier encoun-

together on the ground. A shout of terror at

killed or dangerously hurt, but tranquility was
at once restored, when, in minute or two, both
horse and rider rose from the ground, the rider

this new proof OF excellent horsemanship. But
the cry of admiration was beyond oil descriptions

slight bruises, and was again and again salu.

balconies, and the shouts Of the multitude.
The combat was now sustained by regular
and professional bull.hghters. Eleven bulls
were killed, and proportionate number OF hor.
