From the 1929 RBBB Program. Elephant acts performed in 3 rings and on two stages, during which "Yasso" did an assortment of tricks up and down the front track, culminated by a "head-carry", the first done in this country. |

How does one define a herd of elephants? In the 60's, CBCB had three herds of performing elehants, ie. 3 in each ring.
Bob Kitto
PS: Maybe that means more than 2.
A gaggle of geese wopuld be 3 and
pod of whales would be 3.
That was all one herd Bob and
not the same each year of the 60s
Mostly there were 3 in ring 1
5 in ring 2 and 4 or 5 in ring 3
Maude Kate & Helen were the old
ladies in 1 Sid who led the herd
when I first started was moved
to either King Or Sells & Gray
and Pete became the lead in 2
with Bee Sue Gyp & Konti
The punks in 3 came a little
later Dina Frieda Jewel & Jackie
I think I got them mostly right
Rex & Eva were there early 60s
Then Freddy & Family took over
(Buckles please correct)
