"torero Tho torero, soizing his
cloak In both hands by the corners and
holding II out to oneside Of him, waits
for the bull and lets dm dive his head
Into the cloak, under the impression
that he Is thereby hurting somebody,
keeping his own body st the same time
carefully out OF reach OF the horns and
jumping out of the way ~ loo - the
bull has made his charge. The topa-1
dor mean while has started towards the
bail, keeping his leather shielded side
carefully towards him. II the bull 10

ztng into him. Sometimes, however,,
the bull perpevers until the horse,
generally q feeble specimen of his
kind, falls over, and his rider, OF
couMs, with him. The tnreros i'm.
mediately rush forward and endeavor
to divert the attention Of the bull from
the fallen pair, being generally suo-
oessful In 70 doing.

After the topador has ruined and
repulsed three or four charges Of tho
bull, the banderflla business beeins.
The 'banderilla" il q short stick or
reed, about a foot and @ half long,
profusely decorated with tinsel aud
oolored paper, and armed with q
sharp-barhsd point. One Of the pal
LAGOS fetohes two Of these darts from
the sido Of the arena and hands them
to tho tssero, who 10 about to act ~
"bsndsrillero." The latter drops his
CLOAK, takss . dart IN each hand and
plaoss himself In position. Phs ether
torsros, by jsdisious uss OF thair dsAks,
draw the ball towards tia ''bands-
rillsro," who by stamping, leaplug iuso
ths air, uttedng short, sharp cries and
reflections on tbs bulls personal ahA.-
sstes and that Of his nearer E~slAhvsa,
esdsavoM 70 attract bis attention and
goAd him into action. Ths bull
fually pun down bis head and goes
Tor the baudarilero. The latter, -
sson ~ the bull starts for him, stArts
also for the bull, running somsUhstln
q curved direction, and, crossing just
In front Of the animals nose, reaches
well over, and, at the moment when
the bull aims q blow at him with his
horns, plants the two darts, one on
each side of his back, 1st above the
shoulder. When one considers that
all this takes place while the two
parties are going at full speed, and
that the torero has not only to dodge
the thrust of the bulls horns by
twisting his body out Of the way, bul
also has to plant the darts neatly AID
firmly In their proper place, it will be
een that to do the thing successfully
requires no small nerve and dexterity.
The bull, OF receiving the darts, kiokl
bellows, throws his head from side to
side and expresses by all possible
means his indignation and astonish'
meut at the treatmont to which he l.
being subjected. Tho banderillero,
meanwhile, has received two feesf
bAnderilleras from the palace, tn,
other toreros bring the bull Into posi-
ton "a before and the poor misguided
animals charges aud 1ets banderillad'
a second time. And 80 on until thret
or four pairs are SUCCESSFULLY put int

II, when the banderilla business 1
over, It is decided to kill the bull,

pointed sword three feet long, take
by the hand the t~erero, who rs to d,

the judges scat. Both these unoove
ard the terero waves his hand with q,
interrogative air towards the sWor,
which the pallsco holds up In front .
him. The judge bowp assent, tn
terero grasps the sword In his RICH
hand and prepares for bahness. FL,

long and spreads over 1t his purpl,

and holding one end Of the stick Il

bsiug the bull into position, and h
charges the 'matador'' or "kiuer.
