Original Toronto Star caption: It was a real circus at City Hall yesterday. A new political animal turned up at Toronto City Hall yesterday and although Mayor Art Eggleton had to be coaxed into joining his act; at left; both seemed to enjoy it. With his memory and thick skin the elephant seems a natural politician; but his next appearances are at the Shrine Circus July 8-12 at Scarborough Town Centre and July 15-19 at Woodbine Centre.
