A noble sport 1t lie. A sport that exciies

spectacle be Witnessed.
Sundays bull lights had their disturb
anees, In which the Paseo ring was the
seat OF the mos, amusement. At this bull
circus Manuel Hern oslls, as the posters
announced, WAS TO fight to death ak
vslisnt Nopa,apam bulls. Tho six
valiant bulls" turned out 10 be six very
tame steers or calves, they Meth pos
scssing bravery nor weigh t 10 fight. After
three OF them had been lassuoj at the
dic,ation OF Il e presiding councilmen and
the fourth had been ordered from the
ring, the assent lagc, which was lar from
beirg small, showed its displessure.
From the throwing of oranges at the
heads of the bull fighters, who had been
prev ously hlssed, the mono.ony of the
situation WAS varied, and chairs from the
boxes commenced to fall In showers into
the ring and upon tho heads OF people
upon the graded seats. There was a rush
made by occupants oil seats in the
"gradas' to the boxes and the doors and
general crush was this consequence, In
which there was much writing and
shouting. The bull fighters, not relishipg
their treatment, made 4 break for their
quarters outside of the ring, going the
whole distance through hail Of missiles.
The police ran about trying to restore
order from chaos, but no more attention
, was peid to them Than II they had not

i attention Of the spectators from thor
quiet amusement of pitching chairs into
! the arena, and to get tho fourth bull
! back into the toril, three steers were let
/. into the ring, but the scheme failed Of I've
dual object, as the crowd continued
i, throwing chairs. This part OF the pro-
|, Rrammc not advertised now commenced
in earnest, and chairs and other mssllei
ratned into the arena thicker and taste,
. than ever. Tho police who then a..
y tempted "to put down the rebellion
received due attention, and some OF TIN
, most artiul lodging was done by then

a iuterlered one way or the her, though
u 1t came In for some OF the peling too.
After having exhausted the portebl
missiles the crowd started in OIL
a
ing them into the arena.
n Not unlike Nero. who quietly fiddle
at the burning OF Rome, the band pres II

ir plaza. With the object OF stopping III
u further ripping up of the flooring an
the tearing out OF boxes, a man cam
:, into the arena With q placard saying tina
y the money Tor tickets would be refunded
N but 1t signally failed Of It's purpose. VI
