ternoon, it held up well enough for the
fight to take place.
At 3:15 Mesdames Rosario Soler and
Soledad GoyZueia. worthily representing
the beauty Of Spain and Mexico, appeared
in the box reserved for them and soon ar
terward the fight began.
The first bull afforded no particular
sport The picadores, Guillermo Torres
and Jacob Pena. handled the lance, but by
no means with eclat. The banderillas
were handled by Carlos Basayl and Ra-
| mon Baron with courage and grit, If not
with art. The bull was killed very cred
itaby for an amateur by Joaquin Cas-
tillo, who appeared instead OF Pablo
L.auo He delivered three pinchazos and
media estocada. He was sent for to the
box occupied by the queens who dec
GRATED his coat with favor.
The second bull had the credit of tempo
rarity disabling one Of the picadores Gull
iermo Torres. Il threw him and his horse
and Inflicted a painful bruise on the young
mans leg with it's head. Torres gave up
his horse to Coyrito and limped out Of the
ring. Again the banderillas We're handled
with courage, this time by Antonio Rivera
de Ia Tore and Carlos Urrutia. Carlos Ur-
ruta planted a pair al cuarteo in a maR-
ner that won him loud applause. Antonio
Rivera, the popular young journalist. fac
ed the bull with equal courage, but not
with the same good fortune. The bull
threw him and rolled him over and over in
both Of his attempts. Crrutia's second pair
was 10y no means equal TO the first. They
were planted too far toward. Carlos Ba-
sGyl handled the sword. but as he was I'M
successful In his attempt to kill the bull,
the animal was lassooed and dragged
from the ring. Here an amusing incident
occurred. The queens in their kindness
sent for Basayl to their box in order to
decorate him with a favor, but the public
protested. shouting that Basayl did not
deserve IT, The queens insisted. They
stood up and In the most emphatic manner
beckoned him to their box. But Basayl, no
doubt feeling that the public were in the
right, declined the honor.
joaquin Castillo attempted to plant the
banderillas while seated. The bull did not
take the same view Of the matter and the
next thing that the public saw was a chair
and the youthful aspirant to taurOmachic
honors flying through the air The we'll
known bull-fght critic Carlos Morena
planted pair of elegant fancy banderl-
las a la media vuelta. The same young
gentleman subsequently handled the
sword, and here he clearly showed the diff
ference between precept and example. His
pase work was pretty, neat, cool and
strictly according to the rules of art II
won him loud applause. But when he at
tempted the death thrust, he was clearly
at fault He undoubtedly understands
how it ought to be done. but his physical
strength is not equal 10 the occasion. The
bun had 20 be lassooed. Moreno was sum-
moned to the box Of the queens. who slung
across his breast two broad ribbons, one
Of the Mexican, the other of the Spanish
colors.
The fourth bull was the occasion for the
sensation of the afternoon-viz. the plant
ing Of the banderilas by Miss Marie Mar
tinez La Guerrita. She handled two pairs
the first a la media Vuelta and the second
al cuarteo. The latter was an especially
brilliant piece OF work. and the young
lady received a tremendous ovation. This
bull was killed by E. NJ. Sanchez.
After the fifth bun had been goaded and
adorned with the banderillas by Luis Cis-
neros and Arturo Ferriz, who, it must be
said, acquitted themselves very Indifferent
ly the public demanded that the sword be
handled by Leon Preto. El Senorito. He
was badly tumbled during the pase work,
but, having regained his feet, he dispatch
ed the bull creditably with two pinchazos
and a media estocada.
The attendance on the shady side was
very large. on the sunny side slender, as
was to be expected. as not many invita-
lions were distributed among people fire.
