FIGHTING BULLS.
they Are Easily Managed When

fhcy Are Ensfiy Managed When
They Arc Musacd Together.
In Spain accidents to bulliighters are
of frequent occurrence, und It is inter-
esting to see the hero OF many fights
swing into the chapel attached to tho
bull ring and kneel before the eliigy
Of the Virgin Mary before entering tho
arena.
Bullilghtlng Is the national pastlme.
Boys play at 1t In the cutters. md
there are bulltights for amateurs all
over the country ut which only two
ycar'old bulls are used and young and
Old descend into the arena. Astound-
Ing Is the enthusiasm.
Interesting. too, Is the psychology OF
bulls. When hcr,icd together they arc
docllc enough. and II is n picturesque
sight to see the bulls brought Into tho
paddock prior to the fight through tho
streets OF the city when nll are sleep.
Ing. A COW trained to the business,
with bell around her neck, Is all that
Is necessary. and the bulls follow
quietly behind her.
In the plains where the bulls arc
reared men OH horses manage them
quite easily SO long as they are mnssed
together. Three bulls In the ring to.
getllcr would be useless for II fight, but
each bull separately will fight to the
death.
Bulls literally see red. Were II not
TINT bull Will always dash ut any
thing red the men In the ring would
have no chnnce whatever. Occasionally
bulls have whnt Is called the evil eye
and remain Indifferent to the red capa
extended to them, and then the list of
casualties is generally high.
Sometimes bull which hns shown
prodiglous power and fight Is pardoned
Icy the populnce. a cow. kept for the
purpose, is then gent into the arena
and at sight OF her the bull forgets
man and the fury of the battle and
generally trots behind to the paddock,
MS meek rs any helfer.
Many are tho curiosltics about bulls
which sometimes refuse to attncl u
particular horse md when man Is
down, motionIcss, dlstlnin even to pnw
him. Some bulls make instinctlvcly for
one man and will chase him MI around
the ring, lcnplng the barrier if ho
vaults over 1t, md If he falls Will
knccl upon his body and gore him tn
shreds. There Is no mercy In bulls, and
