STRIPED BLACK?
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. Exhibitions are to be
given here Saturday, August 29.
