Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Truncated: A statue immortalizing Jumbo, the circus elephant killed by a train nearly 100 years ago, starts its road journey from the New Brunswick studio of Winston Bronnum to St. Thomas, Ont. Jumbo's legs have been shortened so he will go under bridges. He'll get his feet back on arrival.
