WIRTHS' CIRCUS.
OPENING TO-MORROW NIGHT. The management of Wirths' Circus have definitely decided to open to-morrow night. The ground has now been drained and covered with scoria and cinders, and a dry track has been made to the entrances, and a flooring is being laid down so that patrons may attend in comfi.rt. The circus will be continued for a short season only, and a number of hew turns willbe included in the bill, which is the largest the Wirths have ever presented to the Auckland public. The show terminates with the trained tiger act, in .which one tiger drives two others round an enclosed ring. The tigers also play at • leap-frog, sea-saw, walk on rclling globes and race over hurdles. One of the tigers jumps from the middle of the ring on to the back of a galloping horse, and rides round while the horse jumps hurdles.
