A MONSTER CIRCUS.

Bv the Nebraska, on her present trip, arrived Mr G. B. Snyder, agent of the Royal Italian Circus, which is to pay this Colony a visit next month. The troupe consists of nearly forty performers and over thirty trained horses. This company has performed with unparralelled success throughout Europe, the United States, Mexico, Central and J'outh American, and Brazil and other parts We extract the following anent this great company from the San Francisco News Letter :— The unprecededted success of Chiarinl’s Royal Italian Circus during the past week has been the theme of general comment. Never before in the history of San Francisco has the public been offered such variety and excellence in the way of circus amusements. The performances, iu every speciality, could not be surpassed. The very entry in the military evolutious on horseback, entitled “Los Lanceros,” stamps the whole thing with success. Here are four fair ladies and four gallant cavaliers, led by Signor Chiarini on his famous war charger “ Monte Cristo,” who go through a series of movements at once graceful and wonderful. The performances of Belen Cuba on horseback receive the greatest: applause, and in her posturing of the child Emily, while the animal is flying round the course, the audience is held spellbound by the beauty aud daring of the act. The Carlo Brothers, in their acrobatic feats, give extraordinary exhibitions of skill. M lie Grace, the lady with the jaws of iron, shows great strength and heroism in her daring performance on the double trapeze. Theodora Cuba, iu his Grecian sports on the three bare-backed steeds, evinces great daring and skill. M’lle Amelia Bridges, in her wonderful performances on the tight rope, without the aid of a balance pole, elicits universal admiration. We cannot mention by name all the skilled performers, and can only add that in their specialities they have never been excelled The coming week two celebrated thoroughbred horses, natives of Ca ifornia, will be ntroduced to the public for the first time. They are “ General Grant” and his brother “ Uthcllo.” Their performances will astonish the public. They were purchased in this city four years ago, and are worthy additions to the unrivalled stud now attached to the circus. Chiariui, by bis popularity has made an overwhelming conquest this time, and wa are very positive that Mr G. Agrati, manager of the Koyal Italian Circus, an accomplished and courteous geutlepaan, deserves public gratitude for the able manner in which he conducts the large aud complicated business entrusted to him.
