Plan No Action Against Protest of Package
 Store Owners

A meeting Of the Waterbury Druggists association was held this afternoon in the Chamber of Con- merce building. No action was con- templated to offset the efforts of package store owners to have the state liquor board restrained from issuing permits to druggists to sell liquor without prescriptions.
 The chief business item this aft ernoon was the completion ot prcpara tions for the postponed dinner r-meeting to which the mem bers of the local medical aSsocia- ton have been invited. The sched- uled dinner has been postponed twice on account of weather.

The bull advanced, too, toward
the waving muleta, Gomezs
short red cape under which his
sword was hidden. The mata.
dor moved about on catlike
feet. Suddenly he saw his open"
ing and struck. Thus, on 1870
occasions he had thus admin
iStered the death stroke.
But this, the fourteen hun
dred and thirty-first, the bull was
too quick for him. Right
through the red cape into
Gomez's vitals went the sharp
horns of the black beast of
AndaluSia. It was a matter
only of seconds and Gomez was
no more.
The news of his death went
through Spain like wildfire and
within a few hours the country
was in mourning as deep and
poignant as that which comes
to a people with the loss of a
decisive battle or some great
catastrophe.
The bull-fighting season be-
gins on Easter Sunday with
two contests a week in the rings
OF Madrid and Barcelona, which
seat $4,000 spectators. Hospitals
with operating rooms are built
right into these larger colise-
umS. Six to eight bulls are
killed in an afternoon along
with 20 horses. The yearly fig
ure is upwards of 1900 bulls
and 5000 horses.
The show opens with a grand
parade, bands playing and col
orS flying. The participants in
the fight come under the gen.
eral classification of 'Torerors,"
from which we get the more
common Italian equivalent
Toreadors."
The toreros are subdiveded
into picadorS, banderilleros and
matadors. The matador or
"espada". is the! kingpin on the
lot. He hires his team of plea
doris and bandetilleros and pays
them small sums out of the
$4,000 which he gets for big
show.

fighting) has struck twice in the
arenas of Spain, claiming one of
the country's leading matadors
and then in a most unusual way
taking an innocent, if excited,
spectator from his seat 10 rows
back in the stand.
The bull fight has no appeal
to the Anglo-Saxon mind. Ger
tain aspects of it are revolving
and unbearable for which rea-
son the Latins of Italy, France
and Portugal do not go in for
it. Yet in Spain it has flour
ished for more than 900 years
since the day in the year 1040
that Don Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar
proved himself the superior OF
the greatest in the ranks Of the
Moors.
The present box office attrac-
ton is Juan Belmonte, rated a
millionaire, who has returned to
the lists after an absence OF
seven years. I am rather inter-
ested in this heavy set man,
whose bowed legs hardly do JUS
tice to the velvet breecheS and
silk stockings which are stand
ard equipment for a matador.

pearance as a spectator in a
Plaza del Toro was to see Bel

Madrid, Barcelona, and Seville.
His comeback has been
marked with triumphs and with

above when in delivering the
death stroke to a bull his sword

The mataoor who recently
came to his end on the horns
of the bull was Igancio San

nous Joselito Gomez, who died
in like manner IA years ago.
About two years after the de-
mise of JoSelito, I was in Spain
for an EXTENDED stay. Already
Senior Gomez was a legendary
here. Hemingway writes that
he probably was "the greatest
bullfighter that ever lived" Bel
monte at that time was his
closest rival.
To draw a comparison with
American sporting figures, it
might be said that Gomez was
Ty Cobb while Belmonte was
Babe Ruth. Gomez was the
dashing, versatile type. With
Belmonte it was purely a queS-
ton of his strength and cour-
age against the bulls.
On May Is, 1920, JoSelito
Gomez stood in the arena at
Talavera after having killed
four bulls, bringing his total to

years which had earned him

The letter, suggesting the APP
