A WHITE ELEPHANT.
Lord George Sanger, whose collection was sold at Enfield recently, he having retired after 54 years as a showman, tells many good stories. Many years ago, when King Edward was Prince of Wales, he attended the "show," and expressed a wish to see the famous white elephant. "J suppose it is a white elephant ?" he said, somewhat doubtingly. Lord George replied—"We deceive the public sometimes, hut we can't lie to our Prince. We whitewash it twice a day."
