His Majesty King Edward VII, who is at

which had been specially organised in his honor.
A
rearrangement has been made in this Majesty’s itinerary, and he will now reach Paris
till the 2nd of next month.
It
is expected that President Loubet will return the visit by coming to London in
the autumn.

The tournament witnessed by King Edward in Lisbon yesterday did not include a bull fight, but consisted of a purely spectacular display of gymnastics and skill in evading bulls, the horns of which had been blunted for the occasion.
(NOTA: A corrida de touros passou a ser, portanto, um mero espectáculo de ginástica acrobática com toureiros a fugir dos bichos embolados. O rei Eduardo VII era o "patrono real" da Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, RSPCA. É uma explicação para a deturpação dos factos e as mentiras...)
