From Buckles #5



The ten performing elephants were:
Ring 1
1. Little Babe
2. Big Jenny
3. Tessie

Center Ring
1. Big Babe
2. Carrie
3. Louie
4. Jean

Ring 3
1. Nellie
2. Little Jenny
3. Wilma

These last three were the ones I took to Garden Bros. in Canada for Paul Kelly 11 years later.
I thought I was a rising star in the circus firmament  until my dad mentioned to me one day that these were the worst elephant acts he was ever involved with.

By that I mean, very basic A-B-C acts.
The only impressive moment was the cross mount on the track.
I might add tho, they were probably better than the pre-Hugo acts on the Ringling Show.
