Yesterday went across the harbor
10 see a bull-ight, In which Centeno
and BOto took part, as well as ell Pincho,
CsrtuiauO and BienveAida. Sr. Cajtas
Mayor OF Regla), assisted by one Of
the editors of DidriO dc Ia Marina,
acted as director. l do not know how
Ataese two men happened 10 be chosen,
Nht they both demonstrated that they
did not know q little bit about bulls.
Ii was shortly after hall past three
when the signal was given to begin the
fight, and a beautiful bull appeared In
the ring from the herd of Don Anas-
tasio Marsin. Red, eyes like a partridge
and well armed, be came with rush
and grew fierce after a little punish
ment. Viruta picked him three times,
after which be suddenly turned and,
wounding Viruta's horse, brought him
10 the ground. His companion, DaOiz,
opened large cash in the shoulder OF
the animal, placing besides four good
pixies and making one slip, which was
allowed 20 pass unnOticed by the preSi-
dent. (FOr this the man ought 10 have

The bull becoming wild with such in
fernal punishment. it was with the
greatest dimculty that BOto aud Blen-
Venida could accomplish the second act.
The first, nevertheless, succeeded in
adorning the animals back with two
snail banderillas, rather clumSily done,

animal, holding his cloak before him
all the time. He went about his part
OF the play, however, without any IN
necessary motions and stage plays, aud
attracted the bull for the purpose Of
killing him. When the bull charged at
b.m, 40 only succeeded In thruSting his
sword In half its length, then with
drawing 10, aud thruSting again, he
finally put an end 10 the life which
had cost him so much perspiration.
Black as the conscience OF an under
taker was the second bull. A fine fell
low! But what a pity that he had not
been allowed TO grow for another year.
In a moment he had received three
pixies from Mazantini, but the rider
was diSmounted twice. The matadOrS
linen on iootl distracted the attention
OF the bull and Viruta il his turn piked
him four times. BotO, in beginning the
next act, made several slips with the
banderillss. AnillO and Pincho, who
are good banderilleros. nailed him,

back, aud his companion placing a pair

charged directly at him. The boys
were justly spplauded. Now we have

was the third bull. Soft To the iron
q. e., shrinking from the pike, he only
received three from Daoiz and two from
Tront. Nevertheless, both the men
aud their horses measured their length
on the ground. CartuianO placed
pair OF banderillas very nicely, but III
his second turn only managed to make
one stick. Filomeno failing to calcu-
late the exact direction in which the
bull was charging, only placed one ban
derilla, being Obliged to Jump to save
bis life. Afterward he placed pair
most beautifully with 8 direct charge Of
the bull. CenteDo again took the sword
and the cloak, and as he already under
stood the movements OF the animal
with which he had to contend, gave
him verv few passes. He then attempt

drawing his sword. New passes. and this
