PARIS. Sept. 21.-M. Max Lebaudy. better
known to fame as the Little Sugar Bowl, the
builet-headed son Of a wealthy sugar refner,
hence his nickname. has impressed a section OF

themselves with warding OF the swords with

However. as the affair was q privat. enter
tainment. organized and paid for by \ private
citizen, and taking place on a private estate for
the benefit of invited guests, the authorities had
nothing 10 say. as the performance did not come
within their province. They merely sent a po-
liceman to observe the proceedings, with orders
to Interfere il any money was taken At the door,
or anything Of the sort. But as the rules of pri-
waite entertainments were duly observed by the
young millionaire. the representative OF the law
could only look on as impassivelv as his disgust
would allow. For they. killed two OF the
wretched little oxen. killed them with bungling
%torture; one was kept kicking and believing in
agony for fourteen minutes by the watch before
the amateur toreador disconnected further by the
roars ofdisapproval from the men and the shrieks
OF horror of the women, could find the spot tn
give the mortal blow that put the poor creature
out OF its misery. Small wonder that the au-
dience forgot In their excitement that they were
invited guests and only remembered that they
were human beings witnessing terrible torture
OF an unoffending brute. The protest aroused
by this wantnn cruelty was So intense that the
last two bulls were allowed TO live and were only
teased by the nantes of the "capeadors,' who
we're skilful enough In their way, and finally
left the exasperated little null only "A shred Of
cloth To tear to bits with his sharp horns.
On the whole, however, the spectacle was not
an agreeable one, and the audience withdrew In
a very bad humor. IL Is not likely that the
young millionaire will again attempt TO educate
the Partisan mind up to the enjoyment OF bull
nghting.
