he made them walk narrow planks and
jump from one stand to another. He got
precise response with quiet mastery.
The most sensational equilibrist by far is
Unus, now appearing with our circus. His
feat of balancing his forefnger on an ele-
waited glass globe may never be equaled.
When il comes TO selecting the greatest
animal attraction. I'm afraid | have to
cheat little and name two - for who can
decide between Jumbo and Gargantua?
Jumbo was before my time. but ! know
p. T. Barnum bought him from London's
Royal Zoo for $4,000, and a lot Of ele-
plant he was! Seven tons, II feet inches
high, Ia feet long, 10 feet around the waist
- the biggest elephant the world has ever
seen.
LondonerS were incenSed over the sale,
took up subscription to pay Barnum of,
and even Queen Victoria herself interceded.
But Barnum wouldn't bulge - not even
for the Queen of England.
The incident caused strained relations
between the US. and Britain for a spell,
but Barnum felt no strain. In 10 days he
recouped his investment, and in four years
Jumbo earned half million dollars for his
master. In 1885, Jumbo was tragically
rammed TO death by freight train in
Ontario, but Barnum claimed that it was
really an act of seIf-Sacrifice. He described
to the press how Tom Thumb, pygmy
elephant, had been in the path of the freight
train, and how at the last moment, Jumbo
had snatched Tom from in front Of the
engine and hurled him 20 yards to safety, at
the sacrifice of his own life.
JumboS stuffed hide is now at Tufts
College in Boston. his skeleton is at the
Museum of Natural History in Manhattan
and his heart is at Cornell University in
Ithaca, N. Y.
A Magnificent Animal
Gargantua is of my time. He had the
strength of II men. weighed $50 pounds
and had fierce temper. When he was
being brought to this country as baby,
sailor threw some acid in his face and that's
what gave him the twisted expression that
added to his ferocious appearance.
One day in 1898 happened to get lit
tie too close to his cage, and Gargantua
grabbed me, biting me Savagely in the
arm After that the cage was enclosed in
glass. We presented Gargantua with
wife. Miss Toto. whom he promptly belted
in the face with cabbage. He was a
magnificent animal and
a wonderful personality.

of the finest attractions our circus ever had,

In my opinion. the greatest wild-animal
man (maSter dompteur in circus language)
was Alfred Court, who thrilled our audi
ences for many years. Court presented three
rings of mixed cats. and as you probably
know, an animal trainer can face nothing
more dangerous than a mixture Of tigers,
Ieopards, panthers and other cats. As an
added attraction, Court worked with sew
eral harlequin Great Danes in the ring.
He was a master Stylist, not in the pyro-
technical manner of the trainers who fire
