Don Fulano, a coal-black beauty, bred upon the stock farm of Marcua Daly, Is but three years old but he haa been so well-schooled that ha exhibits an intelllaence that Is nnlhlna- short of marvelous and he Is ' capable of performing tricks that were unheard of for a dumb animal before Don made hla debut upon the vaudeville stage.'
