The «pectacular curveting of the beautiful enowâ€"white animal was an inheritance from the show‘ Arab riding in the days of Moslem rule. Round and round he rode, putâ€" ting his horse through various manoeâ€" uvres and waving his plumed hat to the applauding populace. _ _A bugle sounded a shrill fanfare and the bull was admitted from an entrance at the side,. There the poor animal stood, with forelegs braced, snorting from the nostrils, eyes blinkâ€" ing in the fierce light and frightened and dazed by his unfamiliar surroundâ€" had read that only brokenâ€"down aniâ€" mals‘ were used in builâ€"fightingâ€" there appeared the most magnificent Arabâ€"Portuguese steeds, ridden by beautifully dressed riders, c‘ad in old; time court costumes, with wigs anf feathered hats, lace ruffles on the cuffs and front of the coats, highly polished knee length boots and, carrying in their hands, the long lanceâ€"like sticks, later to be used when the bull appeared, Accompanyâ€" ing these were the other performers â€"the bandoleiros, picadors, etc.â€" each colorfully and attractively dressâ€" ed and contributing to the fascinaâ€" tion of the scene. These latter were walking and, as the parade proceeded @round the ring and stopped in the centre, the excitement of the audiâ€" ence almost got beyond bounds. Hats were cast into the corkâ€"covered arena; these were caught on the swords of the performers and thrown back in the direction from which they came. More hats were sent sailing across space and cheers resounded from all sides, _ The final and most stimulâ€" ating moment came when the star of the eveningâ€"Cavaleiro Jose Casiâ€" miroâ€"came into the centre and, after hbowing to the frenzied plaudity of the crowd, was kissed on both cheeks by those of his associates who had come to bid him farewel!l to the ring. It was easily seen that he was the idol of the Lisbon public and the deâ€" monstration was only stopped by the anxiety of the people to greet the apâ€" pearance of the first of eight bulls| that were to be used that night, | It was fascinating to watch the crowd; exciting to listen to the band, and hear the animated talk all about us, _ The place was jammed with humanity, whose interest in the proâ€" ceedings, about to take p‘ace, was as tense as our own. Presently . we realized that something was about to happen. This was the parade around the ring, that preceded the actual combat. Here we had our first surâ€" prise; instead of the wrecks of horses, that we had been expectingâ€"for we we were the on‘y Englishâ€"speaking people thereâ€"I am quiie sure that we were the only Canadiansâ€"but our neighbors were friendly, even to the extent of passing a wineâ€"skinâ€"out of which everyone was taking a swig â€"to us and inviting us to do likewise. I have already mentioned the hour when the entertainment commenced. By the time six bul‘s had been hand!â€" ed, the hour was ¢lose to 1 o‘clock in the morning. â€" The Portuguese folk in the seats begide us remonstratâ€" ed, in a friendly faghion, against our departure, making signs to inform us that the best was yet to come. Howâ€" ever, we decided to leave but not beâ€" fore I had purchased, from a smallj boy, one of the paper covered darts that had been lodged in the skin of ‘one we saw, making a beeline for the rider as soor as he had entered the ring. The dexterity and technique of the horse men, as well as the men on foot, provided plenty of thÂ¥ills and prevented anything approaching monotony, _ Some of the horses were jet black, some were bay; all were superb and apparently enjoyed their share of the combatâ€"if such a bloodâ€" less bullâ€"fight could be termed a comâ€" bat. In this respect it differs greatâ€" ly from the Sapmish variety; the naâ€" ture of which I may describe on anâ€" other occasion. : Six other bulls wér;mfl.ms dealt with before we left, Some showed more activity than others; the last that it was unsportsmanlike for the rider to touch the bull unless during one of these charges. The audiâ€" ence gave him his due meed of praise; the action was repeated with slight variations, several times and each time the rider scoreqd a "hit" he acknowledged the ovation and again exhibited hig horsemanship, By this time, even the ladies of our party were assitred that there was no danger; the joviality of the crowd; the excellent riding; the humour of seeing the men on foot vault over the fence, when the bu‘l came close to them; the huge amuseâ€" ment of the spectatorsâ€"all this rave zest to the performance and, instead of. leaving, they remained. s ,_ When seven or eight hits had been ‘registered, the bugle sounded again and, from the opening where the bull had entered, a herd of tame oxen, carrying â€" jangling cowâ€"be‘ls, were driven in by two fantastically garbâ€" ed herders, each wielding long sticks. Before he knew it, the bull was manâ€" pulated into the centre of ths herd' and escorted out of the ring, ings. _ One thing I noted, that the tips of his horns had been cut and the remaining portion covered and padded with heavy leather. _ Then three or four men, in toreador cosâ€" tume, vaulted over the barricade and, by filaunting red and. orange colored capes, tried to get the bull into acâ€" tion, Failing in this, the cavaleiro rode up and attracted the bull‘s attenâ€" tion; this time the bull charged, as if he would toss both horse and rider into thepair but by a clever manipulaâ€" tion of the reins and the intelligent eoâ€"operation of the noble horse, both were uscatched, not before the rider, by leaning far over the ‘crupper, gracefully planted a dart, covered j with paper streamers between the | bull‘s shoulders.
