Governor Had Forbidden It.
The initial performance by the COM
pany of Spanish bull fighters had been
advertised widely, but the governor in
response to numerous complaints, or
dered that it be. not allowed to take
place. Despite these orders a large
crowd assembled in the arena at the
advertised time of opening. Before
the regular performance a number of
cowboys drove in some bulls which
they ran around the arena in true wild
west style. The crowd soon became
tired of this and called for the bull
fight. The announcement was then
made that the bull fight would be pro-

to the office. which was located in a
small building outside the area, and
began to stone the structure. This was
followed by attempts to burn the arena
which is an immense building con-
structed of pine. Bits of burning paper
were thrown at the woodwork and

The fire engine that responded to the
alarm stuck in the mud and there was
nothing to stop the progress of the
flames. The fire department of the
worlds fair was called out to protect
the fair buildings should it become
necessary, but the wind blew in an
other direction.
