bleeding Us he goes; sees one ot the ola l horses, Amounted by iron-clad legs , poor I old hor.e can't see bull, for the blinded
 side of these fiery steeds is always kept
 to the animal. Bull pitches at the old
 horse; disambow.ls him: tambles him
 over on to iron-clad legs, lany boy could | throw rim down, so weak l. he from pow

 to iron-clad legs; legs are pulled from 1 under horse iron-clads and all; horse Is
 lifted up; iron-ciad legs go out of the
 ring, limping; another iron-clad takes
 his horse and the sport goes OH, but it is too tame to suit the crowd of men, won-
 the bu5le is sounded, and another gayly
 dressed tornlentor enters, and after more
 attempts, and more aid by other tormen-
 tors with red rags, plants two more barbs 1 in the bulls shoulders to the great de- 1 light of tho crowd. Bull gets more ;lI-

 to dispatch him, which, after several at tempts, he does, by thrusiing d loug, keen lance into his neck near the shoulder.
 Fhe first horse wounded by the bull
 has his entrails pushed back into his body, and is taken out oi the ring, to be

 does the bull; the ten thousand shout;
 the crowd in the circle between the two
 fences run and jump as only Spanish cow
 ards can. The gates are opened across
 the inner circle the bulls flight is check

 ring; rushes madly at horse number two,
 (number one having died who stands with his blind side toward him and with his cntrails protruding, 0he one disem- boweled by bull number one,) throws him crowd shout, the boys yell, the women wave their handkerchiefs the tormen- tors with red rags draw near; the bull chases them they drop their rags, leap the fences; so does the bull.

 After lcaping tEat high fence seven times, and killing three horses and woun- ding others. he begins to lag little. The bugle sounds, the wretches with barbs enter, and the bull is pierced by tour of the long arrows, to the great pleasure of the crowd. Then he rashes madly about the ring, tears rcd Iags to pieces, and pitches into two dead horses; tears of their saddles and throws them into the -En IA A,i,, l. number three; horse is whipped and soaded into d limping attempt at gallop- ing ncrose the arena; the bull chases him. the crowd yell with delight; the horse Is knocked over; is gored; hand kerchiefs tlutter with glee; the children red rags remove iron-clad legs from the fury of the bull; he gorcs the horse; .rowd clap hands; bull chases the teas srs; they leap the fence; he can't, he is ,oo tired, has lost too much blood; he walks around the ring, holding his nose 'n top of the fence.
