BULL-FIGHT IN NEW ENGLAND!
Many persons have supposed that bull-fights were never to be seen except in Spain; but it appears that in June, 1809, according to an advertisement in the "Essex Register," there was to be a bull-fight on the Salem turnpike, near the "Half-way House" (to Boston). As there were no reporters in those days, we are unable to give an account of the exhibition.
Sportsmen, Attend!
