Probasco's Circus.

A3 will be seen by advertisement in this issvic Probasco's Circus opens at Feilding for a season of one night only. The show boasts of being the biggest on the road, and if we can judge by press reports seen, then a treat is in store for the inhabitants of Feilding. The Company is undoubtedly a strong one, consisting of no less than twenty performers, whilst the names of Miss Gerty Thornton, Amy Estelle, Ettie Wilkinson, Mons Elc«do and Mr Probaseo should be sufficiently otrong in themselves to draw an enthusiastic audience. Ingomar, the talking horse, is attracting a good deal of attention, whilst the school of educated ponies are exceedingly clever. "We must not forget to mention the Leonard Bros., headed by Ted Leonard, the premier clown of Australasia who, with the assistance of his friend the dummy, creates roars of laughter. The talented St Leon Family will again appear in several new pyramidical specialities. In the afternoon at 3 o'clock a monster matinee will be given at which children will be admitted to all parts of the house for the nominal fee of sixpence each. Mr H. A. Howard, pree.s representative for Probasco's Circus, who has been in Feilding during the last few days, left this afternoon for Palmerston North to make arrangements for the appearance of the circus in that town. He is an old journalist, and should do well in his new role.
