After the season Of the principal bull
fights is over, q second series is inaugu-
rated in Madrid, and in this stout young
Amazons take the places Of the hardy
brntes who usually play the ipatadors.
The heroine bind up their abundant
hair with long ribbons, and around
their bodies wear wicker poLtomless
barrel, which protects them against the
more furious assaults of the tormcnted
animals. These women. when dancing
before the bulls and melting them TO
combat, look more like turtles walking
on their hind legs than human beings.
They are frequcntl, thrown nigh i. air,
and now anu then come crashing IN
their osicr barrel down upon the spec
taturs. The animals chosen for this
minor series Of comba,s are ordinarily
young, and their human tormentors
avoid killing them II possible. The
rings are frequently invaded ~ crowds
of amateurs, VINO are provided with
long, flexible poles, by the aid Of which
they leap over the backs Of the mad
dened bulls that rush AZ them. A few
years since, children were introduced
in the rings in combats with bull calves,
in which the poor, little, misguided
human creatures were sometimes Grip
pied for life by the calves, whose play
was too rough for them. -EdrGrd ktng
