It ig very evident that the opening of Ringland’s Vaudeville and Circus on Tuesday next is being awaited with keen anticipation. A great deal of public interest has been aroused by the action of the management in discarding the circus tent, and arrangements are under way to enable patrons to enjoy all the thrills and joys of the circus without having to endure the discomforts common to performances under canvas. The entertainment, it is said, includes some talent of an exceptionally high standard. The Donnizetti Troupe are described as whirlwind acrobats and contortionists, and their act is greatly enhanced by the inclusion of a wonderful aerobatic fox terrier dog. It is claimed for Charles Valentine, the ventriloquist with the company, that he occupies the enviable position of being at the hend of his profession. Delgado is a trapeze gymnast whose offering promises to be of a sensational nature. He concludes his performance with the “Slide for Life.” The Juggling Waldens promise a performance of great dexterity and daring skill. Herbert Williams is a celebrated conjurer and ranconteur. A unique comedy instrumental act is to be provided by Lyndo and Lyndo, known as the musical cop and the maid. An act quite new is that of Captain Cuttle and his performing cattle'dogs, which are said to be unusually fine animals and clever performers. No circus 'would be complete without the inevitable clowns, and Ringland’s possess in Mark and Anthony two clowns who are reputed to be exceptionally funny and clever. Ringland’s will give two performances only in Hawera, the dates being Tuesday and Wednesday next. ~
