Of the Carson lovers of the sport
The weather was very threatening ana
it raiued some during the performance
.a.s resulted in but small array Of
the fair SEA- and many dainty bon
net was the worse for the exposure.
A cosy enclosure had been built for
the exhibition and In it. were four lit
tie places where the toreadors could
slide out OF danger when hard PRESS
ed by the Infatuated animals.
A large number of cowboys were in
attendance to drive the Andalusian
bulls from the Dangberg and Spring
meyer ranches, which had been do
mated for the occasion.
The first thing on the program was
the driving of the animals into the
enclosure. Ten cowboys, mounted on
restless chargers from Carson valley
and Empire rode abreast and ten
times the bulls charged through the
line and trotted of. After being more
closely herded they were punched mp
and promptly broke through the fence
amid the cheers of the spectators. In
half an hour they had the fence re
duced to kindling. wood.
Having no more fence to smash UP
they quietly went into the enclosure
to which square dressing room was
attached. They went into this enclo-
sure about twenty times and an effort
was made to get one out at a time
with the assistance of Harry Gill,
local toreador, who is filing a tenn
porary engagement in this city.
He acted as gate keeper for the
animals and tried to shut two in at a
time, but whenever he attempted 10
segregate the animals, one of the ct
hers would charge from the rear and
Mr. Gill would seek one of the safety
commodes which was close at hand.
The main toreador, Signor Robes. of
Madrid would then faunt red and
yellow CLOAK in the faces of the ami
mails and hurl Spanish explosives at
them. They did not seem to attach any
significance to the red color, although
people have always been brought up
to believe that red rag to a bull
is mortal insult to the animal
The profanity hurled at the bulls
was quite lively at times but they did
not resent it as they seemed unac-
Quainted with the ernacular.
Various efforts were made to get one
bull separated from the others, but
they seemed to have formed. a union
and were inseparable.
Finally one solved the problem by
smashing through the enclosure and
although several COW boys hit him or
the nose with scantlings, he continued
his efforts until he got away.
The toreador continued to hit the
others over the head with the red man
tilla, and occasionally he kicked them
and talked mere insulting Spanish pro
family at them, but they did not ap
pear to care to take it up.
Then another bull broke loose AMI
cleaned out the south end Of the line
and some more broke in and the audi
ence began to warm up
It was evident that the bulls were
getting annoyed and someone advised
the matador and his assistants from
Carson valley to get move on, as il
was rumored that Mr. Anderson wal
coming down with q habaeas corp,l:
and q couple Of quo warrentos to .breal
up the game and save the bull frou
a horrible death
Then some more toreadors got IL
with more bunting and shook things
up and some ladies. nearly faintet
when the bulls began to charge a
agile parties in the pen.
AS they failed to kill any, order wal
restored by the assurance from She
riff Kinney that 1t was merely an ex
hibition and the finely formed Span
lard. who seemed to have captured thu
approval Of the ladies in the audience
was pronounced all right.
1t was evident, however, that tn
red color was not as obnoxious to tn
bulls as the scantlings which hit th.sn
in the nose when they got too ne:l
the edge Of the enclosure. FINAL,
someone suggested that the bull
from Carson valley were down on TIL
