'Some amusement has been caused by the antics of two circus clejphants who ran amok at Hull this week-end whilst being taken to' a railway siding for conveyance by. special train to Bradford. They. positively refused to enter the truck, however, and dashed away. They proceeded to charge into three sets of double doors of the warehouses of the Ellerman Wilson Line, completely smashing one set of doors. 'The larger elephant, going one better, then put his trunk through six panes of glass in a window, causing a huge pan demon-_ ium. The pair of wreckers then paid a visit to a joiners' shop the back of the warehouses, overturned a bench, and played' havoc' with the tools. By this time chains. had been secured, and these were fastened to the legs of the worst) offender—the larger elephant, who, by the way, was a fine weighing 34 tons.
