ATHLETE AGAINST A BULL.
An Italian Initiates Ursus, the
Iygiau

FL Paso. Texas. Feb. 21.-In the pres
ence of 2000 spectators at the Plaza de
Torres. in the city of Juarez Mexico
yesterday afternoon, Romulus. the Ital-
ian athlete. pitted his strength against a
ferocious bull, in imitation of Ursus, the
Lygian, as described in Seinkewiczs pop
ular Quo Vadis." The combat between
the Italian and the beast lasted fully two
hours, and resulted in the bull CARRYING
off the victory.
The bull was selected with great care
by the authorities of the Mexican city.
and was of the short-horn variety. The
same animal had previously appeared in
the ring in a combat with the Spanish
bull-fighters, and was as a consequence
fierce antagonist. 1t is a rule of bull
fighters not to fight the same bull twice.
as the animal is always rendered more
alert and dangerous by his first expert
ence.
Romulus entered the ring clad only in
pink tights. He was accompanied by two
banderillos. whose mission was to dis
tract the attention of the bull while the
athlete endeavored to seize the animals
horns. The bull showed great spirit and
activity. and charged repeatedly.
The giant approached warfly, guarding
himself with n red cloth IN imitation of
a banderillo. The efforts of the gladia-
tor were directed toward catching the
horns of the beast as he raised his head
after making a charge. The man and
beast harassed one another for an hour,
while the gladiator was endeavoring to
find an opening. Sweat poured from the
man, and the animal was frothing at the
mouth.
Finally. at a favorable moment the
athlete clenched the horns of the bull
In the twinkling of an eye the man
struck the sand of the arena head-first
fifteen feet away. while the populace gave
vent to a howl of delight. The bull
charged at the PROSTATE man, but the
banderilos interfered.
Twice more was Romulus flung through
space, and once the bulls horns grazed
his cap. The blow ended the exhibition
and the man limped out of the ring
hausted and badly bruised
