Spain's "National Sport."
The young King of Spain saw his first bull fight the other day. His mother, who has a horror of the brutal sport, postponed the event as long as possible ; but even she was unable to override the ancient Court precedent that prescribes attendance on bull-fights as part of the education of a Spanish monarch. The little fellow viewed the sport without betraying any enthusiasm, and de> parted without rewarding the suocessful matador, in accordance with custom. And some Spaniards, there* fort>, fear that he may bring discredit on his order and race by taking a stand against the " national sport " when he grows to man's estate.
