AROUSED TO FRENZY OF JOY
People of Madrid outdid American
Baseball Fans When Bull Fight With
Popular Matador Is Announced.

Madrid is the greatest bull fighting
city in the world. From her staid pro-
fessional and intellectual classes down
TO the smallest and grimiest urchin
vending newspapers on the Streets,
every Madrilleno Is a connoisseur of
bulls and bull fighters. Anyone who
thinks that baseball can turn its devo-
tees into temporary lunatics on the
day of worlds championship game
should see the people of Madrid when
a famous matador is billed to meet
some of the ferocious Miura bulls.
Each of the wel-known swordsmen
has his group of followers, enthusiasts
as they are called, any one Of
whom will stake his fortune or his
neck on the prowess of his own par
ticular master as compared to all other
slayers of bulls. On the day of "cor-
rida" these enthusiasts flock about the
hotel, where their idols are staying, TO
greet them hours before the combat
with cheers and adulation. Early In
the afternoon the streets leading TO
the plaza are chOked with surging cur
rents Of humanity, all moving to
single goal.
The plaza itself is a great amphithe
alter with sanded arena for stage.
The arena is surrounded by thick
brick wall, broken here and there by
tiny doors-one door to the pens,
whence the bulls are loosed, another
for the picadors, who ride in on de-
crepit old horses, third for the he
roes of the day, the swordsmen, who
take the money and the glory of the
occasion without running any greater
risk than their humble subordlnates.
On sunny day the arena is riot
of color. Picadors are dressed In yell
low, the cape men," who turn the bull
wave gayly colored silk robes, the lit
tie darts which the banderilleros plant
in the neck of the bull are tipped with
flags, even the mules who haul out
the debris carry huge Spanish banners
in their headstalls. The matador is
the final glory, flaming from head to
foot in q rich satin costume of green
or blue, heavily embroidered with gold.
He carries a flaming red flag to en-
rage the bull, and before the day has
gone far, The red of the flag Is blended
with the red of blood.

The coming Of Mr.. Snodgrass has

he was awaiting on the site Of Phoenix
for civilization to come and pre-

Mr.. Patrick was then, as now, a
civil engineer. His levellng rod had
seen rough times and needed paint

appeared on the scene and advertised
himself as a decorative painter. He
undertook to paint the rod. When Mr.
Patrick received 1t back he had lev

ence. He felt sure that that was the
first one Bicknell had ever seen.
Though Mr.. Patrick had paid So for
the decoration, he made no complaint,
but reprinted 1t himself after a fash

Years afterward Patrick and Bick-

and in talking over old times both be-
came quite frank and outspoken.
