PUBLIC OPINION.

WIRTH BROS' CIRCUS.

A PATRON'S VIEWS.

To Editor Manawatu Daily Times, Sir With your pemißsion I wish to make a few suggestions to the management - of the above show. Dirstly I would ask why do not they have a sale of tioketsin the day time the same.as all other shows have so that patrons can get their tickets' in peaoo, Sir, t|iey advertise a monster , menagerie. 'Well, the biggest mena* gene I saw last time they were here was about 4,000 human beings, of all ages and sexes,,pushing, crushing and struggling like a lot of savages to try and get rid of their cash to a firm who did not exert themselves ono bit to try and help the said savages to spend their oash in a decent yay. I oan assure yon that the poor women and children suffered untold Pgony, crushed up among about 4,000 human savages who oared not a bit if some poor ohild was trampled on or lost its mother, awful gUBBe was Vetoing 11!' 'l 10 will f '° something on this visit to remedy snob a soandalous ' State of affairs as was seen on former occasions. ™ 2.1 would suggest that the Arm will give us something of a decent show for our money, also that thev Will postponing down the tent till the show is over, so as to do away with so muoh noise while the show is on. By doing so the.v will givfl their patrons a ohancb to hear what is said in the ring. ; 3. I would suggest that the doors be opened at 7 p.m. sharp. By doing so the orush would not be nearly so bad, and would give people 'time to lock at the animals before the start.

4 Why do not the firm play two nights instead of one? I am sure ft w I OI J I S I have a crowded house both, nights. Trusting that my few remarks will be taken to heart and aoted upon in the interests of the women and ohildren by the firm.-I am, eta.-, n , 1 ■ FAIR PLAY. Palmerston N, Maroh 4
