Notes

Abstract:

Yarnell and wagon pulled by two elephants, on the polo field in front of the Nautilus Hotel, Miami Beach, Florida. Carl Fisher acquired Carl II in 1921, and appointed assistant gardener Yarnell the elephant's keeper until a handler could be imported from Ceylon (Sri Lanka). By the time the Ceylonese handler arrived, Carl II had grown fond of Yarnell and refused to accept any changes. Yarnell kept his job. ( en )
