WIRTHS' CIRCUS.
AMERICAN WILD WEST
SHOW.
" The mystery and fascination of the interminable American prairie, with its gallant dashing men and women transported to your very doors. Daring and skill on bucking, plunging steeds. Daily happenings of ranch and cow camp. An exhibition in keeping with the progressive spirit of the age, and the name and fame of its world renowned owners." So reads the advertisement of the Messrs Wirth Bros., circus proprietors, this year. Messrs Wirth have been pretty faithful to their advertisements, their promises being always fulfilled, and their claims never exaggerated. Besides Hillary Long, whose wonderful performance on his head is the talk of the Dominion, there is a genuine band of American cowboys and cowgirls whose picturesque attire and remarkable doings with the lasso, bucking horses and buffaloes acclaim them at once the draw of the show. Of course, there are other clever and wonderful acts. The menagerie is full of weird wild animals as well as the performing bears, lions, tigers, elephants, and even Lizzie the gigantic hippo, now does a stunt. The show in all its entirety will open in Te Awamutu on Saturday February 22nd, and the menagerie will be open in the afternoon from 4 to 5.
