When no less than 200 horses

many are tried and found want
ing" according to Frank Asher,
master trainer of the Ringing
Brothers and Barnum and Bailey
Circus.
Asher states that 500 "candi-
dates" were put through Stheir
PAGES before the final selection
was made. Then followed two
months Of training at the Sara
sofa, Fla, winter quarters. This
has resulted in what circus Off
cials declare to be the most re-
markable feature in point of big
ness, beauty and action ever pre-
sented in America.
The factors" had to be selected
not only for beauty but horse
sense" as well. According to
Asher, horses do not average up
with elephants in the matter of
intelligence.
One out of two elephants can
be taught to perform several
tricks, says Asher. But it is rare
when one out of four horses will
have the necessary qualifications.
Very often an extremely beautiful
horse will prove to be absolutely
rattle-brained.

ings erected during the war in

The other is by doing a great
