The event of the afternoon at Tia Juana
was next in order, and was the fight between
the bull and bear; in reality repetition of
the fight of last Sunday.
The moment the word was given by Judge
Fuenter, away went the forty or more
vaqueros to single out and bring to the pen
the strongest and most savage Of the bulls
recently imported from the City of
Mexico for the purpose of making
lust such exhibitions as the one of
Yesterday. He was stout fellow,
gave the men a hard chase, and even after
four or five ropes were around the house,
bodv and legs, he fought stoutly and WELL
and when finally thrown showed his wild
training by almost breaking away from
those who held him. Had he succeeded he
would doubtless have made a scattering
among the crowd about him, and might
have done considerable damage This por-
ton of the sport was fully as interesting as
anv of the remainder.
Meanwhile, the bear had been brought to
the pen from the stable which had hardly
held him, so furiouslv had he fought for his
liberty. The statement that he had been
mad all week was easily believed by those
who saw him when he entered the ring yes
terday. He plainly showed his feelings by
his actions and growls. He stood upon his
launches and roared while looking for his
enemy of the preceding Sunday.
A different understanding had been en-
tered into and wien the articles were
signed bruIn refused to have anything to do
with the agreement if he was to be tied by
the nostrils while he fought. A rope belt
was therefore made for his bearship and
from that another rope passed through the
-. -, @f A.
bear Just outside the pen. As soon as the
bear had become reasonably quoted from
his long habit of roaming his keeper sue
ceeded in taking off his muzzle and detach-
ing the rope from the nostrils. The bear
Immediately showed his desire to fight by
his growls and particularly when the bull
was dragged in, as it had TO be, the bear
could hardly contain himself, but was in
every way possible giving vent to his feel
ing on the subject which was troubling him.
As soon as the bull was released both ami
mails were gived all the rope they wanted,
and inside of minute they had come
together with terrific shock. In the clash
the bear got the heaviest jar and seemed to
appreciate the fact that he was not inside
that pen for fun. but for strict business, and
was expected tc fight.
When the second crash came the bear was
better prepared, and, though he got a blow
from the bulls horns, he returned one
almost as strong with his paw. There was
plenty of fight in both animals and the
closes came in rapid succession.
The bull seemed to fight one way only
and continued TO be the rusher. The bear
seemed to think more and as the rusheS
came he learned to avoid them and to move
little to one side, so that he would not get
the full force of the shock.
The fight continued full of interest for
about twenty minutes, and finally when the
bull made a rush at the bear, the latter
stepped little to one side, and, while he
received CHANGING blow from one horn he
returned 1t in earnest, and Immediately
thereafter succeeded in getting his fore paw
ABOUT the neck of the bull in such a way
that he could hold him while at the SAME
time he sucked the life blood from the back
of his neck. The bull could not move, and
it was almost impossible for the bear;
keepers to pull him away in time to save
the bulls life. This they finally succeeded in
doing, and the beaten animal was led away
but the bear had tasted blood, and his de.
sires were SO excited that it was fully hall
en- hour before he could be secured and the
leather muzzle put over his mouth.
After the fight was over the Mexicans
continued the fun until late hour. When
the hour arrived for the reporter to return
to the city the vaqueros went away after
another bull, which one of the bull fighters
prepared 10 enter the arena with.
The company which is presenting these
amuSements and sports to the public are
highly pleased with their success of yester-
day, and will continue the entertainments
from Sunday to Sunday hereafter.
