ENTERTAINMENTS.

BAKER BROS.’ CIRCUS. AT WAITARA TO-NIGHT. Baker Bros, will present their great circus company at Waitara to-night. A programme of exceptionally good items is prdmised, includmg the groat Globe of Death sensation. Every performer in tha circus is an artist in his or her ! particular line, and according to press 1 reports ft is one of the finest combina--1 tions that has over toured the Dominion. The talented company includes ooraedians, equilibrists, acrobats and ! dare-devil cyclists. The comedians are said to be particularly clever and witty, while the acts performed by the trickcyclists are little short of marvellous. The apparatus used by Miss and Master Staig m their sensational cycle ■ acts consists of a largo steel spherical cage, two trick bicycles, and a specially constructed motor-cycle. The performers enter the cage and mounting the cycles circle round and round the cage, passing and re-passing each other in a race. Master Staig then “loops the loop”..en tho motor-cycle. latter betis most sensational, the rider going; at about 00 miles an bour. The whole performance is well worth seeing, and should not be missed.
