RIVALRY OF FOOTBALL. The adversarios of buttfighting, (and there are some in Spain) affect to see in the rapid favour which football has found of recent years a displacement of public sympathy towards a less sanguin- ary sport. Even in Seville, the home of tauromachy, football is scoring, and this year in the pro- gramme of the famous Fair the bitherto most important events. the three great bullfights, have been put back a day to make sed, way for a foo bill stob, an
