WIRTH’S CIRCUS.

It is hardly necessarv to givd a final reminder of the appearance at I’ahiatua this evening, on a site near the, Mangalmo road bridge, of the well known Wirth’s Circus, with a programme that is claimied to contain many new and novel features, and with some of tfie leading artists of their kind to be found anywhere. Captain h rank Huling shows a marvellous troupe of educated sea lions. One rides upon horseback and balances a* baton on his nose, holds a ball in perfect pose, juggles hats, plates and lire torches, and blows a horn. Another is a tight-rope performer, and the group play musical instruments. The Ernes tonians, a quartette, perform double somersaults to gentlemen partners, and do other daring feats in mid air from and on swinging trapeze. Miss May I YV irth turns Backward, forward and I double-somersaults upon the bare back of a galloping steed. The Loretta twins, a pair of handsome young I ladies who have made the triple horiI zontal bars their specialty, perform some astounding tricks, pirouetting and somersaulting from one bar to another. M. Mussa Marnier, a Russia Cossack, gives an exhibition of the Cossacks powers of equestrianism and of their methods of warfare. Other attractions have previously been mentioned, and with the clowns and their appurtenances a fine programme is promised.
