Chance | 1iu still be the goddess at whose shrine there will be no lack of wor- 1 shipers. I asked a Cuban what would happen when the lottery was gone. He
 was rejoicing over it's disappearance as I a government institution. "Oh," he re- piled, there will be Q great increase in what you in the states cali ra6las,
 and there will ha more small gambling
 in the cafes. We won't bo able to step that. but we will be free from the lo,- tery. That demcralized and debauched our psople because it was official. Even the church tolerated it.
 The bull fight, apparently, has al- ready gone, and the last O. this Span
 ish national institution has been seen
 in Havana. A bull fight was to have
 been given in the plaza at Regia, across
 the bay, Sunday, with Peruaco as the
 star. PcruaEo was ia the "cuodriila," |"

 were yet uneasned Mexican bulls,
 which are nOt so valiant as those from
 AnG3lusia, were to have furnished the
 sport. Everything indicated that the

 that the true lovers Of the pastime learned Sunday afternoon that Captain General Blanco had prohibited he bull fight. Failure to procure a license was said to he the cause, but the prOhibi- ticn was attributed 10 the captain gen. erals fear that the discCntentcd sol diers would raise TOW.
 Comp pensaticn was found for the fail urc Of the bull fight. The crack jockey of Havana who rides into the ring on 2 magnificent Whi,a Andalusian stai- lion, and receives the keys from the president of the day. was enabled to parade up and down the Prado. This jockey is 2 weazened little fellow Perched on his stesd, he looks like a midget I had been wondering Whath- CT he had dried up and blown away during the blockade. His reappear- ance was made with eclat. CoIy the eIfsct was mGrred when he drew up in front of the hotel for c.Oser inspection and to receive the homage always ac- corded him. The Mississippi man who is in Cuba prospecting for land was curious about the And2lusian stecd. So he opened the animals mouth and looked at the teeth. "Humph," he said. with contempt, twenty-five years old if he's day. X baby could ride that horse" The prestige Of the crack jockey of Havana was eclipsed.
 However. the riders were not ths 3nly ones on the Prado Sunday after noon. Some family carriages which had evidently not seen service for months were rolling along with the cabs and coach $ which were seeking to monopoliza the drive. The number of persons ,aking the Sunday after noon stroll from he pardue central to the waters which wsce beating against tho roc Ks O. Morro castle was much larger than On recent Sundays.
