Portuguese BuIlhghts.

At Portuguese bullfights not only are the points of the bulls horns sawed off, but the stumps that remain are carefully padded. The horses also are ridden with consummate skill, and ev- cry precaution is taken to prevent the bull touching them. Banderillas are used by the men on foot and on horse back and are planted in the neck of the bull, which irritates the bull, but cannot be described as torture. Just as much skill Is shown as in a Spanish bullfght. and there may be just as beautiful a display of costumes. but there is no killing either of the bull or of the horses.

BREED THEATER.
"The Leopard Queen" Sensational
 Animal Picture.

Shinwrecked upon a tropical island with no other companion except an aged father, is the condition that the heroine of the great picture, The Leopard Queen, finds herself in, at the beginning of this interesting silent melodrama, now on exhibition at the Breed theater At the death of her father, the heroine finds herself alone and cultivates the acquaintance of two tiny leopard cubs, and finally ex- tends her acquaintance to the mother of her two strange pets. and later wins the confidence of three more full grown leopards. Hunters for a great American circus company stumble up- on the island, in search for animals for their company. and find the hero- inc with her strapge pets. These she puts through their various stunts. and is immediately engaged as the Leop ard Queen, and booked for the great Paris Hippodrome, as the greatest an- imal act ever seen,
 The gaudy entrance of the Hippo drome is shown, as well IS the surg ing throng, eager to witness the fea- ture Another big scene shows the interior of the Hippodrome, and con- cludes with a most complete trained animal act, in which the handsome animals appear in some weirdly fas- minating performances.
 Perhaps the most beautiful colored picture ever seen at the Breed is now on exhibition. and even if there was no dramatic action, the magnificently colored scenes would be ample recom- pense for attending. while the com edy is highly absurd and entertaining.
