What are the people watching?

Young Harry was sauch a cautious fellow that he was reluctant to pay for his admission to the circus until he knew how large the circus was. He is shown here asking the man at the gate to tell him the number of the horses,rifers, and animals owned by the circus. The gatekeeper,somewhat ashamed of the meager display of wonders within the tent as compared to the glowing pictures on the posters outside,feigned ignorance of the exact number of the marvelous attractions. He explained that in addition to the horses and riders, who possessed altogether 100 feet and 36 heads, there was a collection of African jungle animals which brought the sum total up to 56 heads and 156 feet. We asked our readers to tell the number of horses and the number of riders owned by the circus which seems to be the most popular exhibit in the circus zoo.
