DECREPlT HORSES SENT
TO CONTINENT FOR MEAT
Humane EngIshmen Seek to Stop E~-
portation of Sick Animals for
Sausage Material

LONDON, Aug. 6-The traffic In de-
crepit horses between this country and
the continent appears to have been
renewed under cruel and revolving con-
ditions. Three years ago an attempt
was made to stop it.
According to the latest returns 45,471
horses under the value of $50 each are
exported annually to Belgium and Hol-
land. The animals are embarked
principally at London, Goole, Newcas-
tie, Hull and Leith, probably the worst
of them at the two latter ports. The
traffic is at it's height in the winter,
when much more meat is consumed on
the continent than in summer. Many
of the animals, old, worn-out and dls-
eased, are not in fit condition TO
stand the voyage, and their transport
inevitably involves terrible suffering.
It is no unusual thing for them 10 ole
while crossing.
The horses which go to Holland are
for meat only, and they are under rigid
pOlice supervision the moment they
arrive They are in much better condi-
tion than the animals which reach Ant
werp, and the Belgian traffic is much
more fnhumane than the Dutch. The
are led a distance of two miles to the
government stables before TREY are ex-
amined Even i'm this short journey
stoppa ges for rest are found necessary.
The animals in worst condition always
lead the procession in order to regulate
the pace, and the most pitiful speci-
mems have sacks thrown over them in
order to hide their state from the eyes
of onlookers. The trade in these horses
is a n enormous one.
After inspection by state veterinaries,
the horses are sent to the town slaugh-
ter house, where they are slaughtered
within eight days. If any of them are
consumptive they are Immediately
slaughtered at a separate spot. AS Il
rule, the proportion of rejected horses
is exceedingly small-one per thousand.
This hOrsefesh, prepared in the form
of sausages or otherwise, is much ap-
preciated. A great deal is sent to the
WalIoon part of the country. A portion
of it is also sent back to England.

Bertossi, who has been out Of the

Bertossi, who has been out of the bill
since her premier Monday night, ap-
reared as Media last night, singing
this difficult role with tremendous sue
cess.
Her voice was in far better condition
than when she sang in Aida" and she
suffered no diminution of dramatic
power with her greatly improved Vo-
calization. In the swift transition OF
moods from simple gayety to anger ana
impassioned love, Nine. Bertossl was
sure in her every gradation OF feeling.
The audience was quick IN reallzlnS
the histrionic power of this artist,
and was none the less appreciatiVe or
her musical attainments. Her color
atura solo in the first act gave great
delight. and an encore was demanded,
but to the obvious disappointment of
the enthusiastic listeners 1t was not al
lowed.
Arcangeli sang the Prologue to the
entire satisfaction of the audience, but
evidently not to his own, for in re-
spending to an encore he improved de-
cidedly upon his former effort.
He was rather too Indifferent in his
scene where Media scorns his passion,
but more than atoned for that later,
where he retaliateS by disclosing her
perfidy to her husband.
Samolloff. in excellent voice gave a
delightful vocal reading of the role or
Canio, and his first act solo gave him
an enviable opportunity.
He realized the character with more
dramatic vigor in the last act and was
compelled to respond to tumultuous ap-
plause at the finale.
The chorus gave a satisfactory ana
rather expressive rendition of it's num-
| bers, and Giuliani and Frascona were
adequate.
The orchestra was particularly eftec-
tive throughout the performance.
This afternoon Duce-M -Meroli will ap-
pear as Carmen, with Colombini and
Oteri, and tonight the bill is to be
"Rigoletto," in which Nine. Norellt will
sing Gilda and Arcangeli will be heard
in the title role.

THE CAST

The biggest audience of the week at
the Mason greeted the International
opera company last night, and the dou-
BILE bill, "CavaHeria Rusticana" and 81
Pagliacci," received the same enthusi-
astic Endorsement that has been ac-
corded each previous appearance Of
these artists in Los Angeles.
One factor, and that large one, in
the splendid work this company is
presenting is a high grade Of dramatic
ability seldom found among members
of a grand opera company and 1t is
an ever recurring and delightful sur
prise to watch the careful attention
given to this detail, especially by the
principals.
Commendable care in staging and
costuming also do their share, and the
orchestra, under the Merola baton, Is
led to repeated triunphs which the
leader does not deign to recognize even
so far as to bow in acknowledgment.
There is still occasional need for sub
DUNG the accompaniment which last
night killed several fine vocal passages
Shading the orchestral work is espe'
cially desirable with the solo numbers.
Nine. Duce- Merola. whose Carmen
Wednesday night was so thoroughly
adequate, easily dominated the stage
in the Mascagni opera, investing the
role of the forsaken, tempestuous VII"
lege girl with convincing abandon and
fervor, Her powerful soprano was ten
der or impassioned at will, and she
read into Santuzza's part much of her
distinctive temperamental charm.
Colombini again proved himself an
artist in his work as Turiddu, depicting
the gay, conscienceless soldier with a
degree of faithfulness and so cleverly
that he almost discounted his fine work
as tenor. The other characters were
fairly we'll rendered.

.REDONDO WINS FAST
WATER POLO CONTEST
Freeth Scores One Goal, Winning Game
from AIl-Stars After Most Ex-
citing Play Ever Seen at
Southern Beach

In the fastest and most exciting
game of water polo ever played at a
southern beach plunge, the Redondo
professional water polo team won from
the All-Stars, made up of the best
players of the Los Angeles Athletic
club, the Blmini Baths and the Venice
teams, tonight at the Redondo beach
bath house. The score was to 0, and
the game was won by a goal made by
George Freeth, d professional player,
who scored on rough and tumble play,
which found him under water during
most of the daring struggle toward the
goal. The fact that Freeth was goal
keeper for the winning team, and had
to cross the plunge to score the point
testities to the bitterness of the con-
test. Freeth afterward stated that it
was the toughest game he ever played
in.
More than four hundred spectators
filed the plunge, and the rough and
exciting play brought out tremendous
enthusiasm. Two seven-ninute halves
were played. Ed Murphy acted as
referee, and Les Henry was timekeeper.
