O'NEILL'S BUCKJUMPERS.

The O'Neill Bros, have every reason to be gratified at the large attendance last evening at the buck-jumping performance, which met with great favour from the interested audience. The O'Neills thoroughly maintained their reputation as "stickers." for buck as they would the horses failjd to unseat these clever horsemen. The crowd enjoyed to the full tbe efforts of a number of others who attempted to ride come of the buck-jumpers, and only one managed to retain hie seat in the saddle. The high-jumping of Ruby, who cleared 6ft. 2in., was loudly applauded, as was also the clever performance of the welltrained trick ponies. Amusing diversion wua provided by the clown and the donkey, and not the least entertaining item was "Five Minutes in the Stockyard," in which interesting and laughable event the boys proved themselves very plucky in their efforts to ride the ponies. The entertainment on the whole was very successful, and will be repeated this evening, when some new items will be introduced.
