As soon 88 that was out, the animal got sultry and the the herd a chance to disport themselves in the cool waters of the Ohio River, which surrounded the island on which the pavilions were pitched. After the return of the parade, their tawdry trappings were removed and with each grabbing the tail of the one in fromt, they were led down the steep slope into the stream. They immediately to roll round im the rapid current, giving vent to their pleasure by loud trumpet- ings and splashings, much to the entertainment of a large crowd of spectators standing on the banks of the stream. As the time approached for the afternoom performance, the trainers started to round the deeper water. Finally, led by old Queen, they reached the middle of the river, beyond the depth of the horses ridden by the carctakers. The men were at their wits’ end. Every ex- pedient was abortive in its effect. Onme o'clock, the time set for the opening of the doors for the afternoon perfo , arrived and the elephants showed not the slightest indication of coming out of the river. Worst of all, the prospective patrons remained on the bank, de- ciding that the outside show was preferable to that inside—end also cheaper. “P. T.” was apprised of the state of affairs. He hastened down the river with sundry suggestions, each of which aceomplished nothing. Suddenly old Queen discovered the verdanmt foliage growing omn the Ohio side. With loud trumpeting she headed for the opposite bank, followed by the entire herd. Fearing they would take to the tall timber, the trainers rode rapidly across the back river bridge, hoping to cut them off before they reached the shore.

All except Queen then placidly proceeded to the West Virginia side, whence they were rushed to the lot. But the problem was still unsolved, as mo elephant act could be given without the aid of Queen who was the “understander” in the pyra- mid formations. She was still in the middle of the Ohio River, giving no indication of moving, Securing a skiff, the men paddled out toward A AN THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, NOVEMBER 23, 193%0.

She resolved to sell her liberty as dearly as possible; deliberately waiting until the boat with its occupants was within range, she filled her snoot from the stream and, giving a tremendous snort, she shot water all over the trainers, forcing them to retire rapidly out of range. Word was sent to the equestrian director to place the elephant’ act farther along on! the program, while the board of strategy held a council of war.
