I Jumped out and raised the cry Bull
Fight" They secured carriages and
went over to attend the fight. The
manager of the excursion said he was
glad that he happened here just as he

other time in the day could have been
| better, as any later or earlier would
have made it inconvenient for them
to see the bull fight. He remarked

snake pit.
In speaking of the T. & p. Quarterly
