HEADLLU-HT, OCTOBER
The Battles Are Bfoodless and the Con
testants Rarely Hurt.
The distressingly cruel treatment of
animals so common in the Latin coun
tries is almost entirely absent among
the Portuguese, and for this reason
their great national sport, the bull-
Bght, is really an enjoyable spectacle
to an American, writes Mrs. C. R. Mil
ler In Leslie's Weekly.
In the Portuguese version the bull is
never killed. The horrible goring of
horses—a feature of the Spanish tight—
does not occur, for if a horse was in
jured lu a Portuguese performance
the rider would be hissed from the
ring and very likely mobbed after
ward. The men taking part are rarely
hurt, although the skill displayed is
much greater than that shown in the
Castilian style of the sport.
Occasionally they have a burlesque
Spanish bullfight In Lisbon with the
cruelty eliminated. The horses ridden
by the picador are armored and cannot
be gored, and when the bull is to be
killed the matador strikes him at the
particular spot on the back of his
neck, which in Spain means almost
instant death to the animal. Instead
of killing the bull, however, the Por
tuguese matador's sword doubles up
after the fashion of the ones used by
the sword swallowers in our side
shows, and a red mark appears where
it has touched the animal’s skin, thus
showing the audience that the mata-
dor has been successful. The horses
and bull then run out of the ring uu-
injured.
