The former have juSt returned home alter a tour round the world, lasting iive years. With them is Miss May Martin Wii'th, whose career as u rider iuus been triumphant, oihe is an Australian girl, Who received her early training wntli the Wirth -liros. Snow. She was never happier than when working with the horses and building a sine foundationllosi s ner_ career as a rider. The result ot uii-8 early tnat when she perfoi med for the ftnsX tune in America she created, quite a furore.

Oapt-ain Huliiig's Seals are, without uuuJbt, the most wonderfully trained i.iiLUiais tJiat have ever been presented u> an Australian public. They juggle with balls and bars in a marvellous mauner, walk the tiglit rope and ride a pony, juggling the while. They , also play tunes on a set of electric nelly and then they all combing in "The Weal Hand," which is excruciatingly lunny. Their intelligence is almost human. They make a uug hit usherever tihey appear. The Lorotta Twins are two lady baa [crtoriuers, the only two-in the world. ! heir performance is graceful and' dtever, and they "accomplish teats tliat tew men can equal. Jjouvain on Cue aeoal v ire has many new things 10 show, and the Erncßtoniaus and Novikotfs in their aerial act are clever beyond the ordinary. - ALu&sa Marnier, the ltussi.ui Oosaaok, gives a graphic exposition of the Cossack modes of warfare and does wonderful things while'his horsw is at full gallop. , A group of young Australian-bred Lons, the fiiist ever born and trained in the country are an item of more than ordinary interest. These and a number of highly trained horses and elephants are but a few items in a program, the peer of winch has never been presented, in the Southern Hemisphere. The huge zoo is open iroin 4 to . 5 daily, at a nominal fee, and an interesting eight is tlie feeding 01 the teals and the sea lions.
