A Popular Bull-fighting Favourite.
Frascpelo, the favourite bull-figbtev of tho Madrileno3, on Sunday (says a Madrid correspondent) look leave of the national sport in the Madrid bull-ring. It istwenty-threo years ago since he made his debut. Wounds received during recent years oblige him to retire at the age of forty-fivo. All the route from the centre of Madrid to the bull-ring was the scene of extraordinary excitement, all classes joining in demonstrations of sympathy for tho popular hero. Unheard-of prices were paid for seats. Sixteen thousand persons of all ranks, from the Infanta Isabella and suite down to the humblest citizens, llocked to the bull-ring. When Frascuelo appeared tho whole assembly gave him an enthusiastic welcome, and cheered him repeatedly during his performance. He killed some, bulls supplied by the Duke of Veragua. On leaving the ring Frascuelo was cheered in the streets by immense crowds.
