PROBASCO'S CIRCUS.
The seating accommodation of the Agricultural Hall was again taxed to its utmost capacity last night, when Probasco's cirous troupe produced the programme which has been running so successfully since Monday last. The hones and ponies again went through their acta with wonderful intelligence, and the various lady and gentlemen riders were the recipients of unstinted applause for their daring and graceful feats. The troupe is especially strong in acrobats, including Madame Probasco, Miss Amy, Master Wallas, the Leonard Brothers, Miss Addie Orme and others, who appear in acts which, in nearly every instance, are quite new to Auckland. Among tin.novelties which the manager (who intends that the circus shall maintain the excellent
name it has made for itself already) introduces to-night will be acfce by Mr. Walter St. Leon's famous Australian horse St. George, which is said to be a very clever performance, and the " Australian Nuggets" in an entirely new equestrian act called "Jingling Jumpers." Several other novelties are also billed. 'vf* 1 , ,
