, EL PASO, Nov. 14. — General Car
ranza's edict abolishing bull fighting
throughout the republic has served
to revive the more typical Mexican
sports, in which the bull suffers lit
tie and comes out alive. These snorts,
formerly seen only at holiday times
on the great ranches, now entertain
the people of the northern towns and
cities as a Sunday afternoon pastime.
In Juarez the "jaripeo,” or roping
contest, is a curious mixture of the
bull fight and n wild west show. It is
held in the bull ring with a band play
ing the sprightly Spanish airs so popu
lar at the fights. The events are di
vided into “suertes,” or acts, an
nounced by the bugle, much as is done
in the regular bull fights.
The first event takes place when a
bugle cuts into the music of the band
and the gate swings open for the pa
rade of the troops. But instead of
the procession of the fighters in bright
costume, four abreast, headed by the
knight in black who demands from
the president the keys to the bull
sacrifice ami the mules to draw oTf
the carcases, there march out clowns
In calico uniforms stuffed with hay.
The clowns, wearing comic false faces
and the huge sombreros of the peons,
are stuffed so out of proportion that
they can hardly walk. They salute
the president of the fight apd the
crowd, mocking the manners of the
toreadors.
A bugle blast then announces the
bull, which rushes out and after dodg
ing past capes, manages to horn and
toss up a clown, who comes down in
a torn uniform and a pile of his own
hay, while the audience roars with
laughter.
The other events are done by Mexi
can cowboys, who show their skill
with fancy throws of the lariat, thills
are not the only victims at the roping,
tying and riding game, as wild bron
chos have to serve* their turn. When
a bull is ridden, a rope is made fast
around his fore-quarters, as his hide
is too loose and slippery to hold on
to. A bull can put up quite as good
an exhibition of bucking as any of
the ponies.
In the Mexican point of view, the
roping contest is rather a tame sub
stitute for the hull fight. Baseball,
proposed as another substitute, is
popular among boys, but. at present it
does not appear likely to take soon a
popular hold. At best, it is an im
ported sport.
The anti-Carranza Spanish newspa
pers published in Texas and at other
points on the American side of the
border have made a great deal of fun
of the Carranza decree. In these pa
pers, the bull fight is defended as a
sport.
