September 17, 1912.
Editor Watchman:
I believe we have been the
moods of the places of amuse-
ment in and around Brownsville
now. Two weeks ago we went
to the Gulf, about twenty miles
distant from this place, and en-
joyed the usual program of oys-
ter and fish dinner on the beach.
Barf bathing, etc., as much as
passible. Sundsy we ended with
going over to Matamoras to see
* veal Spanish bull fight, that
hratal entertainment about which
me all have read since we could
read at all.
There are quite a number who
will read this who never saw a
bull fight, (three months ago f
did not think of such a thing for
myself) so I am going to try to
give a description of this one.
The ring is situated about a
quarter of a mile from the town
is surrounded by an im-
mense board wall.
The grand stand is built in a
complete circle with tier after
tier of seats, at the tops of
which there is s floored space
about six feet wide with a wall
at the back and a roof over it
This space is divided into com-
partments called boxes and the
are some higher than the
ethers. About the center of
_boxes there is one built out
prominently and more spacious
than the others, which is the
judges, stand, here the director
•f the performance, who blows
the bugle to call time, sits with
the judges around him.
The ring where the fighting is
done is an inner circle probably
» hundred feet across and
inded by a wall five feet
spears. The poor horses were
blindfolded and were old, broken
down things. ^
By this time the bull, blind
with fury, would make a rush
for a horse, striking him gener-
ally in the breast, and some
times lifting both horse and
rider in the air and hurling them
to the ground. The picadore al-
ways gave the bull a terrible
stab with his long lance aa he
rushed for the horse but it never
caused him to swerve from his
course. After, probably ten
minutes, the bugle was sounded
again and this part of the fun
(?) was over, the picadores and
what horses were still alive left
the ring; now came the time for
the bandarilleroe. Three of
them, each with two arrows dec
orated with bright colored tissue
paper, advanced toward the bull.
Selecting an opportune time
between the attacks of the bull
each man planted hia two arrows
between the animal’s shoulders
where they stuck.
Once more the bugle sounded
and these men had done their
work. The poor beast, wounded
and bleeding from spear thrusts
and with arrows sticking all
over his back, now must fight
the matadore whose time it is to
take his life. He is still game
and seemingly as strong and
furious as ever. The matadore.
with long slender sword in one
hand and a red flag in the other,
waves the attendants back and
advances alone. Waving his flag
and jumping first one side then
the other to avoid the fierce on-
slaughts he plays with the dan-
ger several minutes. Finally he
seems to hypnotize the beast,
for he stands perfectly still per-
haps a minute, instantly there is
a rush, a flash of steel and the
sword has been driven up to its
killed and four horses badly
wounded.
Asa feat of daring, one mata-
dore approached the bull on hia
knees to make the sword thrust.
Another missed his aim and the
sword flew out. Before he could
recover the bull had him on his
toms and toased him about four
feet in thy air. tearing his
clothes and inflicting a bruise on
his breast. He did not give up
though, making the third at-
tempt before the beast was
killed.
It was no unusual sight to see
adies with their heads on some-
body’s shoulder almost faipting
while others hid their faces in
their hands, their whole bodies
quivering in sympathy.
The horror of it! One poor
horse with a fearful gash on his
foreleg and the other aide split
till its entrails were dangling
out, was still forced back into
the fight till the bull’s horns
pierced to his heart and merci-
fully killed him.
I suppose my nerves are made
of iron, for I saw every move
that was made, but I don’t need
to see another to remember each
incident to my dying day.
Mrs. Albert Ross.

Since the speaking there have
been rumors among the socialist
people that their aide won the
subject This is always the
case. It matters not how great
a socialist is defeated he picks
up enough courage to say he got
the best of the argument I was
there and gave much attention
to all the speakers, and I feel
safe to say the subject was
scarcely touched. The only rea-
son I can give for its not being
discussed is that the four social-
ists, Blan Truitt, Dan Stephen-
son, Sid Cleveland and Rev.
Hilton, who were to oppose the
subject were lacking in the up-
per story, and had chosen a
subject hard for a man with a
good sound mental faculty to
affirm.

I want to say right here a few

that, and that one thing is Blan
