of the Floto and Buffalo Bill shows,
and his wife, an able assistant, is seen
every day in the ring, either riding or
driving the different high school horses,
which are the feature of the show,
Rhoda Royal and I have been close
friends for more than thirty years and
no man in the business has advanced
faster than Mr.. Royal, and it is fair to
say that more than seventy five per
cent OF the high school horses with the
various shows derive their education
from Mr.. Royal.
He has six tiny elephants, the most
of which are working in the vaudeville

Gus evangelist. Rhoda says that while
Tiny does not speak az plain as Billy
Sunday yet he is just as busy and takes
just as much interest in his business.
