herd of performing Elephants with
Gentry Bros. Famous Shows United.
This fine Pachyderm has been in this
country but a few months yet his educa-
ton is nearly completed. His part of the
programme puts to shame his older and
bigger companions, and on account OF
his size he is able to perform several acts
which have never been attempted by Eu-
