tied around him and set off as he en-
ters the ring. The toreadores are
waiting. They wave the cerise
cape (capa), the bull charges near
ly always the mantle, and not the
man. That is the secret, they are
trained that way. If badly train
ed they may charge the man, and
the man runs behind the barricade.
These barriers are built parallel
with the railing, with entrance SO
narrow the bull must content him
self with crashing into the fence
which he does with a laundering
noise, and at full speed. If he
should mount the fence and get
over, he is brought back to begin
all over again. He attacks the
mantle, and almost never the man
and this makes the game quite safe
for the man The bull tries this
again and again, score of times
or more, and keeps it up until he is
exhausted. You might try this out
yourself, when attacked in the field.
The bugle sounds again. 1t is a sig
nal for the horsemen to enter.
They, the picadores, make a ludi-
crous appearance. The horse has no
spirit, is blindfolded, and the side
next the bull, always the right side,
is covered for protection. The COW
ering is some kind of a mattress.
which looks like bedtick. The
angry bull is now puzzled, and sur
veys this moving oddity with
amazement. He seems slow to at
tack this non-entity. However he
often gets under it, lifts the horse
and rider, and throws both back
ward to the ground. Helpers rush
in to extricate the crushed man, and
to take the dying horse from the
arena. A second horseman lances
the bull between the shoulders, and
the weakened animal has not much
strength to resist. He is so tired
the banderilleros have an easy
time, as they advance toward him.
They skillfully place the barbed
and decorated sticks in his bleeding
back, two at time, until there are
six, waving TO and fro with the mo-
tion of his weary body.
They do not fall because of the
barbs, and he carries these decora-
tions to the bitter end. But woe to
the man ii he fails to place them Sc
curely, for he is accordingly Kissed
to great shame Awakened now by
the fresh pain, the bull snorts, bel
lows, paws, and sometimes lies
down. One in this attitude was at
tackled by his tormentors, and he
jumped to his feet and
drove them from the field.-Howard

A MEXICAN BULL FIGHT

To some it would seem that there
is nothing more brutal than prize
fight. Two human beings pulver-
ize each others faces, before jeer-
ing, betting crowd of men and wom-
en-. The bull fight is bad enough
Take your choice. However one in
diligence in this kind of sport is suf-
ficient for the Yankee.
The Mexican has the full red
blood of many generations of bull
fighters in his veins. He claims he
desires to see only skill, and has no
interest in cruelty and bloodshed
Somehow l fear he really enjoys the
spectacle of bloody and dying ami
mails. He seems to be satisfied
only, when there is much of it.
When it is a tame affair, he is much
disguised, and all the skill of the
actors does not appease him.
The 10000 seats of the bull ring
are filled at Mexico City. Venda-
dores (vendors) are busy selling
drinks and eatables to the gathered
people, who wait impatiently A
trumpet sounds, as a signal. An
man in military garb, with stately
soldier-like appearance, enters on
horseback. He rides quickly across
the arena, and faces the president.
He makes a courtly bow, and an
nounces that everything is ready to
proceed He is called the ''algacil." +"
He achieves quite feat. He backs
his horse clear across the arena,
and out through the gate, and dis
appears.
Immediately a procession comes
in, consisting of the matadores with
their golden epaulets, the gold braid
ed toreadores, picadores, banderil-
leros, and last of all the stevedores.
The picadores are on horses, and car
ry long spears. The banderilleros
carry short barbed sticks yard
long. Stevedores trundle wheel
barrows. They gather up the litter
and perform the menial duties. They
are called the ''wise monkeys (sa-
bios monos) ;" When a horse is ov-
erthrown they strike the hooks to
make him get up, and get out of the
ring.
The first bull enters at full speed.
He is mad, because knife (anafe)
has just been plunged into him as
he entered, to enrage him and make
him rampant. In some smaller plac-
es a string Of large fire-cradkers is

hardly a capacity crowd as there
were~a few places in the northeast
corner of the school yard not filed.
Everybody present was full of ex-
pectation and nothing else. Cheers
greeted the performing duet-Bes-
sic and Bill-as they sped through
the throng and took their place in
the open arena with no canopy over
them but the clear blue sky After

the miniature buggy and adjusting
the broad sombrero to a proper an
gle on his head, Bill announced in
open" Then he put the pony
through drill that made the pres
piration and comment both flow
especially, when the nervous specta-
tors were filled with amazement at
Bessie becoming suddenly interested
in a nice morsel of grass and act
ing toward it just like an ordinary
farm horse would. After the pro-
gram and following a readjustment
of the harness and a hookup with
the shafts, there was a song-may
be there were altogether two. Fol-
lowing that, there was an announce
ment that the show was over. The
red spokes in the wheels of Bessie's
buggy began revolving so rapidly
that they resembled big solid red
disks as Bill and Bessie "took Off"
suddenly, leaving the crowd in a
speechless daze. When the crowd
realized what had happened, it was
on, an uproar of laughter, confus-
ion, and excitement. Come again,

Panama City and Colon In

Cristobal, Canal Zone, Atlantic
port of entry to strip Of leased
territory across the narrow part of
the Republic of Panama, is the gate
way to a scene that dates back
through the centuries. Panama City
and Colon, ancient and colorful. and
Cristobal and Balboa, modern and
military, are easily available to the
Caribbean traveller.
Panama City and Colon are not
outgrowths of the accomplishment
of the canal. They are cities found
ed four centuries ago. the terminals
of paved causeway built to carry
the unrecorded riches of the con-
quistadores, with a legend of pi-
rates, buccaneers, and the freeboot-
ers of the Spanish Main. A vir-
tual kaleidoscope of nations, they
owe their atmosphere to a COM
merce that dates back to the Fiji
teenth century. The parade of ma
tons began with the Spaniards and
Negro slaves, Inca chiefs and native
Indians and was carried on by the
English buccaneers, the French
corsairs, the forty-niners, Hindus,
Chinese and Arabs. Descendants of
these early merchants pass through
the streets today.
