RANGED FOR
VIII lake Place at the Stock
Corral in WinnemuCCa Sun
day, December I3

For the first time in the history OF
he town, wInnemucca is to witness
q. bull fight, conducted by real, pr'-
fessionaI torreador. The event viii
fake nIac, one week from next Sun
day- at the stock corral, and will be
conducted by Senior Enrique Robles'
the renowned Spanish champion Of
many rings.
Senior RobIes is in town now. per-
fecting arrangements for the Dig
event He is the gentleman who gave
exhibitions at Reno, Carson and Love-
lock within the past few weeks, and
who delighted a number of cities In
California with his entertainments
AT first it was the intention to have
/ the fight on next Sunday, the 9Th, but
| the time proved to be too short in
which to complete the arrangements
and the date was therefore postponed
/ one week.
! Seats will be provided at the corrals
and every ticket holder will be In
sured a good view of the affair. 1t
should be understood that the bull
! is not killed in these performances; no
cruelty is shown the animal, but this
! fact does not detract from the inter-
es: or excitement of the exhibition
! With the exception of the final dis
tpatch of the animal, the entire show
! 1s a faithful reproduction of the fam
GUS fights of Spain and Mexico, and
The Senior guarantees that every per-
son who attends will be pleased and
4, satisfied with the performance. He
requests the announcement that any
who are not thoroughly satisfied, and
who feel that they did not get their
moneys worth will have the price OF
. their ticket refunded to them upon
,request
While the bull fight is the main
/ feature of the entertainment, it is
not the only one. Some of the mosi
skiutul vaquerors in the county viii
give exhibitions of rough riding, rop'
ing and tying and broncho busting
These features alone will be worth
the price of admission, and all viii
combine to- make the show one tha
no one who enjoys the rugged sports
of the west can afford to miss.
Senior Robdes has engaged Marint
Bros full orchestra to furnish music
for the occasion. The leader is pre-
pairing a program of exceptional merit
