WIRTH’S CIRCUS.

THURSDAY, MARCH 16. i Always establishing new records, Wirth Bros Ltd, are more than up- ' holding their reputation this season with an entertainment, that honestly eclipses all predecessors and which ■ will be seen in its entirety at Paeroa on Thursday, March 16. The star arare all of such, high standard | that it is difficult to differentiate, hut the bill, is headed by Alfred Clark, the 1 world’s champion trick rider, whose ' recent engagement in England by Mr George Wirth is a matter of congratulation for, all concerned. Among others engaged by Mr G. Wirth on his just concluded world tour, are the four aerial Lloyds, sensational American performers, and they l are closely followed in point of interest by Ap-., dale’s, animal circus, absolutely the 'most entertaining act of its kind ever i seen in this part of the world. Many Japanese acrobats have displayed their at times almost supernatural ability, but the Royal Uyeno troupe with Wirths this season go one better, while a score of Arabs give a wonderful display of tumbling that is aptly, styled “ whirlwind.” Of such a nature as to rouse the' enthusiasm of the most phlegmatic individual, their act created*a sensation throughput Eastern Australia during the past few months. Others —all stars in their particular lines—contributing to the bill include Miss Maisie Wirths principal lady trick rider; Miss Ethel, fin a beautiful serpentine dance on horseback ; La Belle Onra, the queen' of the trapeze; to say nothing of the performing horses and the huge cage full of lions, which, born and reared with the circus, are now perfect specimens of leonine grace and beauty and take part in a performance that is at. once the admiration and-wonder of all. All the animals in the menagerie are at present in exceptionally fine condition, and will be "on view between 4 and 5 in the afternoon as well as before, the evening perform* ance.
