Poor beasts Cruelty Tortured with Fire and

Bull-hghts have been so many times de-
scribed that l will spare the reader the de-
tails OF this battle, writes n Mexican cor
respondent Of the Philadelphia Record. Suf-
fec 1t 10 say 1t was as cowardly cruel as
most OF them, even more so In one particu-
lar, something which had never seen be-
fore. After having tortured the bull into q
frenzy Of rage they lassoed it and held 1t
firmly by the horns whilo the picadorcs fixed
upon its back the figure of a soldier In q
cooked hat and seated in q saddle. Both
soldier and saddle were made of wood,
paper ard gunpowdcr, forming a formidable
piece Of fireworks. When it was firmly Sc
cured, all fell back TO q safe distance. The
picadores, mounted and with poised spears,
took their places in the ring and the band
struck up the Hymno Nacioncl. At the
Same instant the moose was slipped, liber-
ating the pull, tho heel Of the soldier was
fired and q shower of rockets were let of
within few feet Of the bulls nose Its
first dash was furious. Maddencd by the
whizzing and explosions, the shouts of the
crowd, and the fire and smoke Of the engine
Of torture on its back, the bull dashed blind
ly at every pcadore, receiving thrust after
thrust from their spears. Finally the
powder burned out, and tho poor beast,
streaming with blood and with its back
fearfully burned, beloved for mercy and
crawled teebly around the ring looking in
vain for way OF escape, raising imploring
eyes to the spectators as IL pleading to the
mild faces Of the women. Thus five bulls,
one after the other, were brought in, played
with and disposed of, and am almost glad
to relate that in the course of the afternoon,
three Of the brutal picadores were ur-
horsed by their victims and carried Of for
dead. Mono Of them were killed, however,
as / afterwards learned, but one was
NAMED for life and the others so severely
hurt that they will not fight bulls again for
many day

| planning bitterly because bull-hghts arc
such tame affairs, unlike what they used TO
be before the Government placed so many
restrictions on them that their dangers
have been mitigatcd and their excitement
as vol. President Diaz sstely decreed that
bull-hghts should be given only on Sunday
aud other fiestas, because when held on
weekdays the people neglected their work
to attend them.
Not till long after sunset did the last fight
end According TO timc-honored custor. the
last bull was comparatively tame one; and
with its advent the ring was thrown open
TO the boys, who swarmed into the arena
and, amid roars Of laughter, pulled, hauled
and hustled the poor toro TIL he could hard
