That Bai*- ,,^ on;; iwu uuu *. w* w* j -. ^ ^ ... _ ^^ celona is a commercial city was' y:< clearly evident from the numerous ^:. . factories and the large number of ships in the harbor. or Perhaps the chief attraction of e,. our visit was a bull fight at the old an Barcelona Plaza de Toro. It was +,V the first opportunity for most of the ofncers and crew, and in general op- ^h, inion, it will be the last because of ca the unfavorable impressions left on j.nv 1"us by the killing of 12 horses and six "bull*.

They are followed by the bull 0',V. lighters. At the head of the proces- ^ Hon walk the -Matadores, the actual 1 9All fighters, after which come the 'c'y BBanderilleros who keep the bull ex- . BKted by waving their cloaks, then ^ he Picadors on horses, who. charge SKhe bull and stick him in the neck vel rm I with long spears. ' The light consists of three parts, [n the first part, che Picadors receive the charge of the bull, and'prod him ?n npr>k- with their nikes and try I;o keep him off with their whole ;tren*rth. The horse on which he is iQ} nounted is generally a worn out lack horse which is generally either m? :illed or wounded as to necessitate >eing killed. c9* In the second part, the Banderil- \lS eros meet the bull in full charge, ?.ia ump to one side as he nears them and "l0 tick banderilas which are barbed ^ !arts ornamented with streamers of jolered paper, into his neck.
