BULL FIGHTERS DYING OUT.
The Law Interfering With the Bull
Fights.

d
A writer in Success Magazine says:
The bull fight of Spain is doomed.
II is not proposed to abolish it by
law, because an enactment
might cause revolution. but re-
strictions are being imposed and o
new. law forbids introducing into the
ring for the second time bull which
has once killed or injured a mata-
dor. Bullfgnting has come to be q
dangerous trade, and since it Is mani
testify impossible to prescribe rules
of etiquette for bull while he is
being slaughtered, 1t is evident tnat
the noble sport" has reached the
beginning. of the end.
Anyway, if, We are to believe
writer who describes the sport IN q
Paris. magazine, bullf1hting Is not
what it was in the good old days
The profession of sticking rapiers
into wild bulls is sadly degenerat-
ing. the fine traditions of the past
are vanishing. Formerly oulltight-
ers had a pride in their work; they
were miracles Of dexterity; they were
.Napoleons of Tauromachy.' Now
every village lad thinks he is a mute
ingolrious toreador and the fatal
ties are becoming more numerous
than on the Spanish railways.
We suggest to our Spanish neigh
bors, if they must have their Dull
fights, that the animal have his front
legs tied together and his horns CO.
cred with plush, while the mataaol
be armed with gatling gun ana d
fuse of nitroglycerine. With proper
prccaution bullfighting may be maze
a safe and pleasant diversion Tor
young and old.

Stopped the Bout.

The News and Courier says "box-
Ing bout called OF by order Of the
Governor" was the sign placarded
on the door of the Nonpareil Ath-
letic Club in Charleston Thursday
night, and many a fan read the sign
and sadly. turned away. The boat
had been widely advertised and both
principals were here to appear in
the ring, but the order Of the Gov
ernor to Sheriff Martin did not per-
NIT Of any misconstruction and fol-
lowing a conference between the
sheriff and chief of police, the pro-
noters were notified that the bout
could not take place and the city
assessor refused to issue a license.
Jimmy Dasher, OF Savannah, and
Joe Howard, of Brooklyn, were to
be the principals in a scientific glove
contest and were to go ten rounds.
While the promoters had promised
to call the bout off. Chief OF Po-
lice Boyle, as a precaution, detailed
Detective James Hogan to pay at
tention to the club headquarters, and
be found the hall dark and the front
door locked. The order of the Gov
ernor was being strictly enforced.
Several days ago Sheriff Martin
received from Governor Ansel COM
ulunicatfon setting. forth the law in
regard to prize fights and exactly
what was meant by the different sec
tions and calling on the sheriff to
enforce the law in Charleston. Sher-
iR Martin then conferred with Chief
Boyle and the police chief of course
decided to stop the bout scheduled
for that night. If for any reason the
police had not interferred the sheriff
was prepared to step in and take a
hand.
When asked last night by re-
porter for The News and Courier if
ne had stopped the fight. Chief Boyle
said: Heretofore, have permit
ted these contests 70 be pulled OF
as sparring exhibitions, under po-
lice supervision, not deeming them
vicleticns of law. But Governor
Ansel has placed a different con-
struction of the character of the con-
tests, and Immediately on being in
formed of his letter to Sheriff Mar
tin I notified the promoters that the
fight must not be pulled of. The
order of the Governor has certain
ly rut damper on glove contests
here for the present at any rate.
