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

cowboys drove in some bulls which
they ran around the arena in true wild

fight. The announcement was then
made that the bull fight would be pro

return of their their money.

followed by attempts to burn the arena
which is an immense building cor
structed of pine. Bits of burning pape
were thrown at the woodwork anC

under the arena. The whole structure
was soon afre and before long was il

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.
