Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

In Forepaugh’s Great Show, which is to exhibit here on Monday, June 13th, there will be presented the extraordinary spectacle of twenty elephants all performing in the arena at the same time. The Philadelphia News, alluding to this feature of Mr. Forepaugh’s show says: “This mighty herd of mastodons file into the grand amphitheater like moving mountains; obedient to the commands of their trainer, they rear their ponderous bodies into colossal pyramids, almost touching the dome of the lofty canvas, filling with awe, admiration and wonder the mind of the spectator, and forcibly illustrating the Almighty’s decree that unto man is given ‘dominion over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.’ These representatives from the land of Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu were formerly used in the sacred and spectacular displays customary in that distant region, and wherever they appear, never fail to excite the most unbounded applause, wonder and admiration of all who witness their marvelous maneuvers.”
