dc la Serna SIN La Tribuna. The
writer argues that the horses suffer
agony from the time he enters the
ring blindfoldcd. for he scents the
bull which be cannot SEE and trem-

Senior de- la Serna remarks that
such a method of putting horse TO

some buu-fighters feel that such
cruelty is unnecessary and one Of
them Minute even invented armor-
