Comments / pictures

"Early in the spring of 1908 M. L. purchased two baby elephants from Louis Rhue, of New York City. These were a male named "Tony" and a female named "Babe." They were not trained and for the whole season they were hauled over the roads in a wagon pulled by four mules.

In January of 1913 the young bull, Babe, along with two camels and a llama, were sold to the Al G. Barnes show, leaving only two on the Clark show. After going to the Barnes show her name was changed to Pearl. "
