LAS VEGAS BULL FIGHTS
ntAVBLLING MEN’S DIVERSIONS
' W TUK EARLY DAYS.

^•**1 lfsthoda of Advertising the
Fights bj Indian Pantomime,
'l*» Vrgas was once a great pluce
1bull-tights, but most of them oc-
*d on Saturday,” said uu old
aramtner to a Kansas City Journal
man. “Every drummer working New
Mexico would make it a point t<> strike
L** Vegas Friday night or Saturday
morning. Of course he could not act
- - there to witness every fight, but you
could count on his not missing any
when it was possible for him to reach
the ring before the fun began.
“Tbe bulis were usually game fight-
ers, aud the spjrt was never tame.
Did you ever hear how the tights were
advertised? Wall, it was a novel way.
The day preceding each fight ail the
Indians of the locality would be spnt
through tie town and into the sur-
rounding country, and by dancing and
. pantomine convey to the people the in-
k formation of the coming tight.
“ “It was amusing to see too Indians
and observe thfe peculiar wav thev ad-
vertised the fight. Most of them had
on their war-paint, and a stranger see,-
nmrshal were bewildered. The ittci
half feared it was bis duty to prevent
such an interruption of court, but ht
hesitated about moving. The farmei
stood talking with the judge as reelj
as be would have conversed with hit
nearest neighbor over a rail fence
and when he was ready to go, be said:
“ Well, good luck to you, jedgo; conn
down aud 6ce us.” And he waikec
out as independently as be had conn
in.
The judge resumed hearing the cas<
as if nothing had happened.—Indian

New Departure in Instrumental Music.
A peculiar feature of amusemc.m
life iu New York is the growth of the
women orchestras. Women now fur
ni-h all the instrumental music in the
immense Atlantic Garden on the Bow-
cry, in flie Volks and Gander’s Gar-
dens und in more thun one-dozen
smaller places on the east side. Ex-
perience lm» taught the manage)s ot
such establishments that the women
play as well as the average man instru-
mentalist, thut they are reliable as to
hours, that they never get drunk anil
that they never go on a strike, and
wi.li all these excel ent qualities they
cost much less money than the mile
performers. They receive from fit)
to fJO a week for seven nights and
three day performances, for which u
man, according to the commands of
the Musical Union, would bo obliged
to T% maud and receive S.*>ior $6 for
each of the ten performances.
O hot’ cities have inaugurated this
change to a sligh er degree, and this
new condition of th nga i« growing so
rapidly that already the demand ''for
women musicians is far in excess of
the supply. Tile girls come tnarnlv
