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. OF NEHALEM OREGON FRANK A. ROWE, Prwfdent.
