ST TAR MATADORS OPEN
BULLF|GHT SEASON
Two OF Spain's Best Men Van
quish Three Fierce Ami

A NOTABLE. EXHIBITION
SEVILLE. Anril l

SEVILLE, April H.
In blaze OF sunshine and a scene OF
rich coloring, such as only a Spanish bull
ring can produce, the bull-fghting season
for the south OF Spain opened yesterday
The greatest fight OF the day took place
in the bull ring here at L. NJ, when
Rafael Gomez, nicknamed FL Gallo CThe
Cock) and Ricardo Torres, otherwise
Bombita Crhe Firework). two of the
greatest living matadors, were engaged
10 meet three bulls each. Gallo is a born
tighter, as were his father and grand
father before him. His total OF bulls
killed Is between 1900 and 200O and only
one bad accident has befallen him
The yearly earnings of successful fight
er are very large, the average fee being
$3.50 per fight. but even in Spain Gallo
has been paid sl750. while in Mexico this
has been doubled.
There was certainly nothing fierce about
the bulls during the exhibition. Clods of
earth had To be thrown TO drive several
into the open. Twelve hours before the
night the bulls are separated and shut
up in small rooms without enough space
To move, and without food and water
Then. when the time arrives. the first
bun is sent into the ring. always with
the sun in his eyes, and for the first
time in his life he finds himself alone
ana becomes nervous and afraid
Great crowds at the booking Office were
clamorine for the cheaper seats early to-
day and at $50 not one OF the 1900 seats
WAS for sale. All concerned in the actual
light drove TO the ring in open carriage
ana many made their way to the little
chapel at the rlngsde to kneel at the
altar before entering the ring.
When the entry OF the president and
the various other ceremonial prelimnaries
We're concluded bugle call rang out. and
tho door of the bullring opened and the
first hull bounded into the ring He stop
ped short At the entrance, blinded by the
brilliant light. Then looking around he
picked out an object. and with a fierce
below and head down made his first
charge.
There never was i!er works than Gallo
did with his second bull. Time after time
the bull charged, and without moving his
feet. but with bend of his body he
guided the bull past. Sometimes he would
do this kneeling. while again he would
pat the bull as the charged past.
When the signal came to kill, the matt
dor took his sword and, having worked
the bull in position and taken careful aim
waited for the charge. With unerring
precision the matador lunged and the bull
sank to the ground dead.
