BULL BATTINO AT CANNER.

Yet, much will so be the cast, as a Frauen Spanish syndicate bas htained permission to bold a series of fights during the height of the season. A splendid arent in Juing constructed for that purpose, which will be surrounded by private boxes, and tiers of galleries, for spoetaters of all elanson The whole affair is to resemble a read Spanish bull fight as much as possible, But how can that be, when the horns of bulls are to be pudded, and that in no case are either horses or bulle to be killed? The same dai tions were imposed at Nice a few years ago then were ignored after a tino, which brought the fun to an end,

The Syveton mystery-for it is still a mys tery despite the conclusion arrived at recently by the judicial authorities-still preoccupies the minds of Parisians to a large extent. acons of interest bas passed from Paris to Aut worp where the hearing of the application of M.

Rousons, the lady when fourteen fears old, complained then of the conduct of bar stop father M. Syreton who has just died. This sworn statement was obtained by the juge d'instruction at Verviers. The grandfather who resides at Spa enjoys so high a reputation that his word cannet be doubted There is nothing in the autocedents of the Roakes family which points to the implication of Mme.
