ately ht.er the entry Of the judges a

O. mpAn,ed By a child equally we'll
mounted and sttired In dress of vnri-
ous oolGrs, and came 10 obtain from the
Judge the key Of the door OF the place
within which the buils were enclosed.
This ~ an old spanish custom, and 1t is
follo~td In all OF u zEEatini'a h8hte.
The key W IS thrown TO hin, nnd 10 then
returned to tho other end OF tho ring
and placed Eimeelf at the head OF the
bull Hghters, who then entorad three
aoraaet. There were seven, axolusive
Of Mazzantlni and the plcadoses.
At n signal tho FIRST bull, Spanish
animal, entered the arsna. He ran

which were fastened with steels. Nae.
garttna met him aud made several
passes in front Of him With hts cape,

Tho second bull which entered was
perfectly black. He mads rapid strides
/ to the middle of the ring and Huryey ed
h'a euemiee. TIE Msxlesns admired
this animsl, and many remarked that
1t would be lively Oae. The frat or
slauShs en- the horses WAs we'll met By
the arst picador, bns immet,aseiy an.
other horse and rider ware tum bled, and
the horPe was led cut OF the ring, hnr-
rtbly Rored, his entralls trailing on thu
ground. After him another was brought.
There were three horses In the ring now,
which the bali failed to throw, owing to
the strong efforts of tina riders. The
horsfs, however, eneh time received a
horn on either side. The bander,ilos
wore later on well placsd In this bull
by RegeEatllla, Gala aad MaZzantiui.
The latter met with very narrow
escape at this tins, being CHASED en-.
tlrely Aoross the ring aud sayed from
coming to grief By kie brother. Thin
formed the only Incident OF the fight
with this bull, who died from one
Hurst OF hazLantlni's sword.
The p, rformar CO With the next bull
was enlivenel By Gorito, who executed
the "Salto q la Garooha." This is done
with q long pole, by means OF which the
bull fighter leaps over the bail as tho
latter charges at him. 1t was very well
executed yesterday. Two horHes were
previously friehtfully gored by this bull,
aud one rider would undoubtedly have

tint, who always stations himself near
the picadorss to avoid any accident that
may OCCUR willis the bull lie charging q
horse. MxzBsntiui later on acted rs a
bapderillo, placing four barbs, or two
pairs, in one bull, and then created
tremendous excitement by performing
the difficult feat of placing only one
barb and with the other hand with
drawing the barbl he had previously
stuck In the bulls shoulder.

Roman Lopez, one OF Mazzsnttui's
assistants, while worrying bull with
his cape, slipped and fell, and although
the bull attacked him he mIraculously
escaped. This same bull gored every
