After parade that Monday forenoon. the general manager if Die show' orderiMl u rehearsal of the middle ring elephants. among which Snyder. tJie preeminent feature. No sooner had Snyder reached the ring th.i n he turned and raced out, with two -attendants Winging to him with bull hooks' jabbed deep into his trunk. Out of the hi*: top in^u the men igeric loped the big tusker, the men fighting i-irii at every stride. Through the wall <'f the menagerie tent. Snyder plunged uhI shook off the attendants, striking at them' with his trunk. The tusker's small eyes were red . wilft t >100(1 nisi, and circus men, forming a line of skir mishers. headed the crowds on the lot onto (he streets outside the fences, others, lid by the el?iphant men, formed ;i ureal circle about the ele phant in order Ubat he might he head ed if he turned townrd the towns people. For three hours the big ele phant spent his time in turning over immensely heavy .pole. seat, and bng jjage -wagons. Once he picked up a eage of lions and hurled if IMI feet. He started for a den of lepoards, hut the snarling '-.lis, rearing against the tairs with their claws extended, scared film off. All during the exeltenient . the elephant heeded his name. K??. as he would start a charge, the cl reus men would divert him 'by calling to him. Thus, the field of Ills activities was restricted. Outside the inenagorio"was ;i sin. -ill lent irt which the elephant neii were wont to rest between shows.
