George Lockhart describes his travels with his famous troupe of performing elephants
George W. Lockhart, equestrian director at Blackpool and Belle Vue, Manchester, has had about as much experience of the ' sawdust ring ' as any man living. Fifty-two years ago he made his first appearance in Scandinavia, touring with his father's circus. In this he appeared as the Prince in ' Cinderella '. Thereafter, he toured all over the world with his father, who first gave to the public the great tradition of the famous Lockhart elephants. The elephants were sold after the death of George Lockhart's father, and he came, as he says ' through a chapter of accidents to Blackpool and Belle Vue.
