WIRTH'S CIRCUS.

Wirth's Circus hae lost none of its former popularity, and with its excellent menagerie and a big range of ring artists, the whole snow on this present visit to Wellington is better than ever. The splendid collection of animals' proved a big attractior yesterday, but more so was the performance in the larger tent last night, when, in spite of the heavy rain, the attendance was equally as good as on the opening night. For two hovn-s and a-half the large audience was treated to a fine variety of turns, not a few of which were thrilling. Comedy turns were frequent, and one which delighted the audience particularly was the big baboon's play during the appearance of Apdale's zoo—a'wonderful company of trained dogs, bears, monkeys, and anteaters. The clowns, quite a number, have no spare moments in the entertaining programme. The performing' lions and bears are alone well worth seeing, and the same may be said of the Aerial Lloyds, a troupe of American trapeze artists, and the Uyend troupe of Japanese acrobats. Others whose .turns are full of merit include : The Mighty M*ldoon, Alfred' Clark, Miss Ethel Wirih, Miss Belle Oura, and F. Freeman. A. notica regarding the WeUiugton aeMon •PPWB ■" "—~ J
