Tor several seasons, and the amount of

bring this wonderful troupe OF animals

sized circuses. These elephants are not
simply trained animals" They are
veriiable animal actors, displaying as
much good sense and judgment, as great
an appreciation OF the humor of their
several rotes and as sincere desire to
please and entertain the audience, as
any human performer in the great eX.
hibition. Probably the most amusing
comedy presented by these elephant
actors is one portraying the artist, trial,
conviction and Incarceration of an
elephant for intOXication. The spectacle
OF the clown elephant, rolling from side
to side, apparently in the sportive stage
OF intOXiCation, is ludiCrous in the eX-
ireme. In the midst OF his rcvelry, the
policeman arrives, armed cap.a.pie with
a huge official helmet and jauntily
twirling aclub in his trunk The offend
ing elephant attempts to escape, but the
policeman is too quick for him. The
offender is seized by the ear, marched
away to the magistrates office, solemn.

Judge sitting in his judicial dignity upon
his judicial bench, and finally hurried
away, a condemned prisoner, to suffer
duranre in an elephant Jail. The Lock-
hart elephants are, however, only one of
the three troupes of elephant actors.
They are an English importation.
