Aa was the cast with "Brayer,1 tho donkey of storybook fame, there were yeara ago people who insisted that zebras were merely donkeys striped with black paint.--No doubt there are persons who still think so. Now and then when some credulous youth hires out to John Patterson, superintendent of the Rlngllng Brothrs and Barnum & Bailey combined menagerie, the old fallacy is revived In the nature of a joke. The "stage Is set" by one of Patterson's assistants, who hangs a "Fresh Paint" sign over the back of a zebra. Patterson then takes Johnnie Newcomer over to the herd. He tells him it will be his duty to wash the zebras, but warns him to be very careful to to work" only between the stripes and not to rub against the paint under penalty of being discharged. Then the stranger begins the job and furnishes much amusement, until he finally comes to realize that all that is black is not neces sarily black paint. The zebras who have been train ed are shocd like horses and- the circus blacksmiths experience some exciting moments adjusting the fotgear of these frisky animals. The "convicts," as the menagerie caretakers term the zebras, are but ono species of the hundreds contained in the groat zoo, which has been formed by combining the finest animals of the two famous circuses. To this have been add ed twenty dens of tigers, lions, leap ards. polar bears, twelve baby ele phants and other animals that fortn the personnel of tho greatest ag gregation of wild beasts ever ex hibited In America. More than 200 trained horses form, another recent acquisition. These Include an Equine Ballet of 150 horses, each ridden by an expert, which ia the blgsest single display of perform ing horses ever presented in Am erica. Every department of the aggre gation sets a new record for big ness and Innovation, The mam moth introductory pageant, which opens the main tent program. Is of a size and gorgeousness never before attempted. The arenlc numbers which follow, introduce hundreds of stars, including the pick of the world's most famous champions.
