The bullfight was a real firecracker, one of those that deserves a serious corrective; a severe punishment, it is understood, for the rancher for the desperate invalidity of a bullfight that was very fair in presentation, comfortable in appearance, as the figures demand, animals that were dead from the moment they entered the ring, tame in the horses, without a drop of breed in their entrails and with that stupid and insipid nobility that usually characterizes the majority of bulls from commercial farms. Two of the starters were returned to the corrals, but some others made merit to follow the same path; The negative thing is that the hats were not better, so the celebration resulted from a boredom inappropriate for what a bullfighting event should be. Celebrations like today’s should be prohibited by law because they constitute a scam for spectators. And that rule should state that the amount paid is returned because the show offered was nothing like the one advertised.
P. de San Lorenzo/Manzanares, Ortega, Aguado
Three bulls Port of San Lorenzo -first, second and third- and three from La Ventana del Puerto, -returned second and fourth-, fair in presentation and comfortable in appearance, meek, invalids and nobles. First hat, Jose Vazquezwell presented, meek and invalid; second, of The Ashwell presented, tame and classless.
José María Manzanares: lunge (silence); almost completely crossed (silence).
Juan Ortega: lunge (silence); perpendicular lunge (silence).
Pablo Aguado: half a lunge _notice_ four crazy things _2nd warning_ and fourteen crazy things _3rd warning_ (whistles). The bull was stabbed in the ring due to the impossibility of being returned to the corrals by the halters. Deep jab and half a thrust (silence),
