Sparks Circus 1922/ Spec elephants


The elephants are just leaving the menagerie headed for the back door and spec, "Topsy" in the lead. Nice looking blankets, howdah and the Prima Donna all smiles. You can always spot the Sparks elephants during this time since Mr. Reed had those straps hanging down beneath their chins. I find them attractive but thankful I never had to deal with them. Just one more thing for the elephants to pull on, chew on or get hung up on during the act.

We put necklaces on the pets we have for adoption to take their picture that we put on the web. It makes them look cute but never leave them on. They could strangle, choke and get caught on things.

Regarding the top message, for a brief, staggering moment I thought I had communicated with James A. Bailey from beyond the grave.
Thanks for the good word.

I reckoned it was Hachaliah Bailey still busy shoveling Old Bet's manure in the after life.
