section, which Is remarkable for the large
number of equestriaps of worldwide fame,
Albert Crandall reaches the limit of nov

The clowns are numerous, and what is bet
ter, they are funny. The trained animal
portion of the program is a complete show
in itself. Lockhart's elephant comedians, a
company of animal actors which present
the most laughable plays and farces with
the intelligence of human players, create a
sensation everywhere. Herr SOuder's ele-
plant brass band is equally remarkable.
Marchand's pugilistic elephants are also
wonderful In their way. Sunlin's perform
ing bull Is an illustration of what can be
done with this usually intractable animal.
AS an instance of trained animal intelli-
gence, however, even the elephant comedi-
ans are surpassed by the intellectual quail
