A troupe of
FIVE TRAINED ELEPHANTS;
To bo seen only in Howes’ great London Circus
and Sanger’s English Menagerie of trained ani
mals.
The Elephant is acknowledged,to be the most
intelligent of all quadrupeds, and for ages past
bis services have been brought into requisition
as a beast of burden, and for the performance
of such services ns require an extraordinary
degree of strength and patience. It is only
within a fewyoars, however, that their capacity
for instruction and their extraordinary in
telligence have been fully developed. Thin
task foil to the lot of M. Sangrino, a cele
brated trainer of nnimnls in England, and the
faithfulness with which he performed it is at
tested by the really wonderful exhibition
which he gives with the five trained elephants
with this far-famed and vast establishment
Under his direction and control these huge
beasts evince a degree of reason and superior

intelligence which, is as remarkable and as ten*
lnhingas it is novel; at his command they go
through the mazes of the dauoe, keep time to
music, waltz, ascend and descend inclined
planes, stand upon their heads, walk on their
hind legs, play upon musical instruments,
mount pedestals, and perform a great voriet v
of other tricks and exercises without evermak
ing a mistake or evincing any disposition to
shirk auy part of the duties allotted to them.
It is a performance which all should witness,
as while it is full of amusement and genuine
fun, it is instructive in the highest degree, and
will furnish food for deep reflection in the
minds of such as love to trace effect to cause
and who look beyond the mere surface of things.
i*y all means see these wonderful elephants,
and be sure the children see them, for it is
a which neither you nor they will over
forget- ' ,
