WIRTH BROS.' CIRCUS.

The preparations for the season of Wirth Brcs.' Circus in the Coioeseuui, which opens on Monday night, are very complete. The entrance will be from Gloucester street, and the various parts of the auditorium have been so arranged that all the audience will have an excellent view of tbe ring. This has been placed in the centre of the building, whilst round it is a broad pathway of tan. This is intended for the magnificent parade which represents the procession in connection with an Indian Durbar, in which the largo herd of elephants connected with tho circus will take part, together with the horses, etc. Tho circus will arrive by three special trains to-morrow from tho south. On Monday morning tho whole of the. impedimenta, etc., will be hauled through the streets from tho railway station to the Colosseum by the seven elephants. Tho programme is replete with wonderful and unique acts, and in addition to these there aro a very larg« menagerie and a most interesting museum of natural freaks. Two of the star items of the performance will bo those of the Flying Herl>ertß and Huch Lloyd. Tlio former aro said to bo the cleverest trapezists yet seen in con-nwtion with any entertainment. Mr Lloyd gcea through a series of astounding and seemingly impossible feate on the "corde elastique," a hemp cable strained taut on to a big steel spring. Dances. leaps ; and somersaults are with accuracy and cease, while Mr Lloyd provide* his own muaio by playing all time on a violin.
