The most attractive entertainment this
season has been the bull fights. Senior
Poanciano Diaz, of the City of Mexico,
has been giving bull fight exhibitions ev-
ero Sunday afternoon this winter and has
been we'll patronized. The performance
of last Sunday was the best of the season
and the bull fighters were frequently APP
plauded. Since they commenced the Mex
lean National railway gave excursion
rates from Laredo, and the towns along
the line. which brought good many per-
sons in from the country.
When Panciano Diaz closes his engage
ments in this city, he will visit San An
tonic, Houston, Galveston, Dallas and
Fort Worth, for the purpose of establish
bull fights in those cities the coming sum-
mer. As the Senior has lots of money, and
If he receives any inducements in those
cities, he will give them the most at
tractive shows that they have ever had.
The state government has been taking
the census of the state the past two
weeks, and got through at II o'clock,
yet, but will be in few days, when the
result will be known, and published in
the official paper.
Next to bull fights billiards are the
most popular games in Mexico. Last

ed by railroad man and Mexican, for

ber of Americans and MeXicans present
to witness the game, and a good deal of
money. changed hands on the result.
