L HAVANA MAYOR SEEKS BULL FIGHT REVIVAL | Believes Legalization Would Stim- ulate Tourism as Well as Enrich Government. | HAVANA (».—Bull fighting, which has been moribund {n Cuba since the American occupation following the Spanish-American War, will be back in Havana next Fall if Mayor Tirso Mesa has his way. Attempts to re-establish the Spanish sport have previously failed principally because of the opposition of an Amer- |ican woman, Mrs. Jeannette Ryder. Several times she leaped into bull rings | and by exhorting the spectators against cruelty to animals shamed them into leaving. But Mrs. Ryder died a few weeks ago, |and Mayor Mesa belleves the “m:‘t! | ripe for a revival, | By virtue of his mayorship he is also | president of the National Tourist Com- " 1ssion, d he advances the argument ‘laltm "l'\;‘lzm of bull rings would stimulate tourism as well as bri Teve- nue to the government. —— He believes that the “rejonec” or “harmless” form of bull fighting would be best for a start. In this game a bull is turned into the arena against & lone horseman, who demonstrates his riding skill by both attack and escape until the bull gets tired of chasing so elu#:r: a foe. i mayor said that later, if the fans demand the real thing, with a*matador dealing a death thrust to the bull, it probably could be arranged. Burlesque bullfighting, called the “charlotada,” was tried here a dozen years ago, but falled to win popularity. S e wiey Corn Popped on Ice. WINSTON-SALEM, N. C.
