WIRTH BROS.' CIRCUS AND MENAGERIE.

Wirth Bros.' greatest show on earth will perform in Dalclutha to-morrow-night, Dec. -21st, in its entirety. We are assured that the whole of the enormous enterprise will be here, as the Wu-th Bros.' never divide, but travel and perform everything everywhere. The circus th'is year is full 'of novel, original, and daring features engaged from the best circuses and music halls in the world. Each year Messrs Wirth Bros, introduce new and sensational specialties, and since the visit of tnis world-renowned circus, two years ago, many additions to both circus and menagerie have been secured. Amongst the circus artists to appear here are the wonderful j Frantz troupe of society acrobats ; ' the Healys in their marvellous and , unique barrel jumping act, somcr- | saulting in and out of ordinary bar- , rcls in a wonderful fashion ; Mdile j Millie Sagmar, with her beautiful I school of trained dogs and ponies ; the tossing Testros, marvellous equilibrists ( and jugglers : the Lentous, acrobatic j comedy actors ; Misses Daisy and i May Harley, acrialists ; Misses Rill, j Stella, and iMay Martin, graceful, J equestriennes ; Madame Edith Cooke ! and Marizles in beautiful alienage act j on two thoroughbred horses ; the WilI ley Cooke Bros., bounding jockics and ) mashers on horseback ; the Christies, j Raymond. the gaol-breaker ; and j dozens of clowns, augusts, and [ comedy men specially engaged for this ! season. Besides the wonderful circus aggregation, the huge menagat'ie is ! filled with dens of the fiercest and i;;ost unique animals, gathered from every land and clime, and includes a herd of seven performing elephants ; an arena full of lions, tigers, bears, wolves, leopards, jaguars, kangaroos, dogs, and ponies all performing together—truly a strange- gathering—and for the first time in our town, a real live hippolainus. which cost the Wirth Bros.' £l.i>so. A new departure, and one that will be greatly appreciated is an elevated chair platform, which is now carried with the show, and on which chairs may be reserved days ahead, the plan of which is on view at Clarke's, where scats may be booked.
