Titled "Kingdom Of Horses" but looks like Venice to me.

This interesting picture was taken by Jim Cole who was working for Johnny with the Bababoo Museum animals appearing at a Southern Fair.
Knowing that the Beatty Show would pull on to the Fairgrounds a few days later they remained on the grounds to visit.
Having been forewarned of this I went out of the way while enroute with the Polack elephants to cut up some Jackpots.
So this put over 20 elephants on the lot that day and  as I recall, refreshments were served.

Enough of this Fol De Rol!
Time to get ready for Bob's Train!
I promised Granddaughter Kay I would wake her up and since all the stories told will be honest and trustworthy I suppose it's OK.
Grandson James William is disinterested.....to quote John Herriott "It's all been done before!"
