To Darryl


These are the same elephants in 1905 with their original trainer Christian Zeitz.
"Mom", "Trilby", "Floto", "Alice", "Frieda" and "Snyder".

Sells-Floto Circus was sold to the American Circus Corp. in 1921 and on Nov. 19 of that year in Orange, Texas "Floto" blew up, created havoc on the lot, was eventually run down by horseback and shot.
