HAVES' CIRCUS.
Hayes' Allied Circus gave another performance last evening before a large audience, the tent being filled in every part. The programme presented on the previous eveniug was repeated, and the efforts ot the various performers were greeted with appreciative applause. The Japanese were watched with special interest, as their display was characterised by an endurance and daring seldom witnessed even inside a circus tent. Madame Lyola astonished the audience by lifting a man up solely by means of her teeth, and suspending him in the air apparently with the greatest ease. The Broncho horses again gave evidence of the perfect training they have received at tho hands of their piaster, Mr William Organ. An unrehearsed incident, and one which created some merriment, occurred during the performance of the trick ponies. One of the animals suddenly left the ring, and proceeding in the direction of the pit commenced to climb up the row of seat?, much to the dismay of tho occupants The pony evidently con.-idered that he had played the part of performer long enough and was justly entitled to take his seat as one of the audience. He was unceremoniously ejected however, and in response to the commands of his master he returned to his duties. To-night the troupe will give another performance To-morrow afternoon a matinee will be given for the special benefit of children. As there is nothing of an indelicate nature in the performance, and as tho prices aunounced are moderate, parents can give the young folks a treat with an easy conscience.
