Gentry, animal trainer, after the performance in the big tent at Sixteenth street and Capitol avenue last night. "You often hear of the wild beasts of the forest becoming entranced by the soft sound of music, and they have here in the little elephant band a practical illustration of it. These animal? actually like to perform on their various musical instruments. Especially so does the leader, old Cudge. who imitates Sousa and Incidentally plays the violin. Of course, I don't mean that he produces any harmony; he simply scrapes away on the violin, but I found out while training him that he actually enjoyed playing the riddle, and. as for the elephants, you will find Pinto sometimes playing a hand organ when there is no one around, in cases where we arrive early in the morning and the hand organ is placed in the menagerie tent while the large tents are being raised. Satan, the other elephant, actually blows through the trumpet, and. although the sound is sometimes discordant, it is apparent to the casual onlooker that the little elephant delights in it. ar.d as far as Diamond is concerned, you can hardlv keep him awav from the bass viol. Yes, I fully belithat all wild animals are lovers of music." The show enjoyed a very large business at both performances vesterdav. Paers for New Clerk. Miles K.
