DOING THE GRAND ENTRY.
Hos. Circus Horse Enjoys His Part
of the Performa

How n Circus Horse Enjoys His Part
of the Performance.
TIE experiences of farm horse that
unexpectedly Joins a wagon show circus
is described by Sewell Ford In Horses
Nine" Calico is the name of the horse.
At night he has hard time pulling the
band wagon over the country roads, but
he thoroughly enjoys his part in the
performance under the main tent. The
author describes Calico's feelings as
follows.
All. that grand entry That was
something to live for. No matter how
bad the roads or how hard the hills
had been, Calico forgot 1t all during
those ten delightful minutes when, with
his heart beating time to the rat-tat-tat
of the snare drum, he swung prancing
ly around the yellow arena.
1t all began In the dressing tent with
a period OF confusion in which horses
were crowded together as thick as they
could stand, while the riders dressed
and mounted In frantic haste, for to be
late meant to be fined. At last the ring
master clapped his hands as sign that
all was in readiness. There was mo-
mentary hush. Then bugle sounded,
the flaps were thrown back, and to the
crashing accompaniment of the baud
the seemingly chaotic mass unfolded
into double line as the horses broke
into sharp gallop around the freshly
dug ring.
The first time Calico did the grand
entry he felt as though he had been
sucked into a whirlpool and was being
carried around by some irresistible
force. So dazed was he by the music.
by the hum of human voices and by
the unfamiliar sights that he forgot
TO rear and kick. He could only prance
and snort. He went forward because
The rider of the outside horse dragged
him along by the bride rein. Around
and around he circled until lie lost all
sense of direction, and when he was
hnaily shunted out through the dress
ing tent flaps he was so dizzy he could
scarcely stand.

A STRANGE FUNERAL.
Burial Of an Elephant by Elephants
In u River Bed.

There is no doubt that the elephant
Is naturally cunning, and the following
extraordinary incident related by 9
planter from Ceylon is only another
proof. II went after a herd OF eight
elephants" he says. After stalking ]
got a chance at the biggest OF the hero
and dropped 1t at the first shot. About
two hours afterward had the tail ano
feet cut off and taken to the bungalow
Next morning | went TO the spot to
look at the elephant apd to my surprise
The Record. (Gardnerville, Nev.) 1902-1904, 1903-04-24


found no trace OF the body. After look
ing round | saw that the herd had beeI
back during the night. and | soon dis
covered a track where they seemed &c
have retired in a body. Following this
up, l eventually came upon the dead
elephant lying at the bottom of rocky
stream. From the tracks it was quite
evident that the body had not been
rolled but carried 10 the bank, and II
was plain that it had been taken
through the long grass which grew on
the bank into the stream My neigh
bors were incredulous until | showed
them where the elephants tail and
feet had been cut off and where the
body lay In the stream, which proved
conelusiyely that by some means OF
other the body had been got over the
intervening space In the night 1t is
difficult to understand how elephants
with their trunks and feet could raise
and support the dead body of com
rade. However. they seem TO have
managed to do it, and II is pity nc
human eyes saw this strange funeral"
