Overview

A posse of pachyderms arrive in Denbigh by train and trundle through the town accompanied by the schoolchildren who had waited with anticipation at the station to see 5 of these enormous creatures alight. The Big Top is put up and, in what appears to have been a special performance for the children (a rehearsal, perhaps?), the elephants are put through their paces, trapeze artists and a clown try out their act and a trainer cracks the whip in the cage with his lions and tigers.
