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!_ THE gentlemen SPORTSMEN of this town and its vicinity are informed that a Grand Combat will take place between the URUS, ZEBU, and Spanish BULL, on the 4th of July, if fair weather, if not, the next fair day, at the HALF-WAY HOUSE on the _Salem Turnpike_. There will also be exposed at the Circus, other ANIMALS, which, for courage, strength and sagacity are inferior to none. No danger need be apprehended during the performance, as the Circus is very convenient. Doors opened at 3, performance to begin at 4. Tickets 50 cents. After the performance there will be a grand FOX CHASE on the Marshes near the Circus, to start precisely at 6 o'clock. * * * * * General Fencing Exhibition. MESSRS.
