ELEPHANTINE PECTILIARITHUL—The circus of
Mews. Sanger, from the Agricultural-hall, is exhibiting
on the South Coast, and the performing elephant connected
with the collection has been giving food for gossip. At
Chichester, after being fastened in the 'table of a tavern
for the night, the animal opened the door, and so got into
the yard. A lessee and a bolted door then separated it
from the inn, but it put its trunk over the fence, drew the
bolt, and peeped through the door to the back of the
tavern. The inn-door was bolted inside, and opened out-
wards ; nevertheless, the elephant managed to pull open
the door and so made its way to the tavern kitchen.
Instinct led the strange burglar to the pantry. It is
evened that the door of the pantry had been locked before
the tavern people went to bed, but that the key was left
turned in the lock. If en the elephant must have unlocked
the door with his trunk, for the door and lock are uninjured.
The animal proceeded to help himself to a bag of
bran, and while eating this he set the surrounding
crockery in motion by the whisking of his taiL
The landlord thus aroused rushed down in the moonlight,
and was not at all comforted on ascertaining the character
qf him visitor. The keeper of the animal was, of course,
summoned, and after some trouble it was got out of the
house again. At Brighton it was lodged in • stable on
the outskirts of the town. Just before starting thence for
one of the performances a man named Read entered the
yard with several other persons. The elephant put oat
his trunk and Read dropped a halfpenny thereto, the
animal P"d°l the "in on to its keeper. It then put out
Its buns again. Read felt in his pockets for more money,
the elephant meanwhile steadfastly watching him. Find-
ing he bad only silver money in his pockets, Read put
back the coins, and told the animal he would give him no
more. The elephant immediately rushed at Bead, mud
getting the poor fellow against the wall, drove its tusb
deep into his shoulder. Read was at once taken to the
hospital, where he was found not to have sustained any
serious internal injury, and he is now in • fair way of
recovery. Just before this occurrence a little girl had
fainted away on seeing the elephant and some camels.
