THE "GALUMBO," A POPULAR SPORT IN SPAIN; And the sport is started in the principal square, a long rope attached to the Bull's horns, to which men tail on, keeps him (in a degree) under control; A young Bull, escorted by a couple of trained "Cabestros" or bullocks, is brought into the town from the country; And the Amateur Bullfighter is in his glory; Sometimes the rope breaks and a general stampede takes place; To the agile this does not matter much; But to those no longer so it is far from amusing; Nor is he a welcome addition to a party sitting outside a cafe; So most people are glad when he finds his way back into the country
