WIRTH'S CIRCUS AND MENAGERIE

The first idea impressed upon the mind on entering Wirth’s Circus and Menagerie, is one of magnitude and surprise (said a recent critic). Admiration for the unbounded resources of its zoological wealth soon gives w 7 ay, however, to an enchanting sense of being surrounded by the most curious and wonderful in the animal life of nearly every country on the globe. It makes no difference whether you are interested in the animals of the forest or jungle, or in those that frequent the hot. desert sands or Jive in flic stagnant waters of tropical streams. Everything boro is spread before us—a feast for the eyes and a study for the mind. It matters not whether the visitor be a student of natural history or merely a casual observer of zoological subjects, whether adult or child, a universal lesson is before him, and fills him with indescribable admiration for the wonderful and diversely patterned creatures with which the Infinite has populated the earth. Wirth Bros., after years of unceasing effort, have brought the training of wild animals to a high and dignified level. The cirrus will open on Monday, December 21 in Dunedin, the location being the Main Highway, near the Exhibition. Matinees will bo given on Wednesday and Saturday. The box plan is at The Bristol.
