BULL-FIGHTING IN PRANCE.
Several bull-fights took place in the Louth of France on a recent Sunday, but, with the exception of that at Cauderan, a suburb of "Bordeaux, the espades conformed to the Ministerial decree, and refrained from putting the bulls to death in public. At the Cauderan bull-fight, which was witnessed by some 6000 persons, four bulls, after being tormented till they turned tail, were led away alite, but when the fifth bull entered the arena the shouts of ■'A mort '■'■! A viort /" became so general that the espada, Eruga, killed the bull with a Bingle thrust from his sword. The sixth and last bull shared the same fate at the hands of the espada Valenciano. The violation of the decree was at once legally noted, and the impresario and the espadas are to be prosecuted. The impresario, who was recently tried for a similar offence, was fined one franc. At the bullfight at Beziers, the toreador, Carita, was seriously wounded in the leg by a bull. His leg being terribly lacerated and torn by the animal's horn, he was carried out of the arena in a fainting condition.
