The Lion would Not Fight.

RoubaiX, France, July 15.-The much
talked of fight between Spanish bull
and an Abyssinian lion proved fiasco,
although the seats in the bull ring sold
at fabulous prices. The lion, which is

his foe and tore off one of the bulls
ears. For a few seconds there was a
terrific fight, but then the lion retired
to a corner, refusing to carry the con-
test further. The audience, furious at
being baked. became riotous.
