Bull Fighting m Spain.
Spain Is still a great country for bullfights. The season starts on the first Sunday, after Lent and continues — with a short interruption at the height of summer—til] the month of October.- Seville and Madrid are the prreat centres of tauromachia^ In Spain no bull leaves the ring alive : neither do any of tbe horses. The expense of supplying even the poor hacks which are chosen is enormous, and m some poverty stricken townships horses are omitted from the performance, when the corrida becomes a good deal more palatable to the stranger, though less so to the native. 2-tOO bulls are killed annually and 3500 horses.
