O'NEILL'S BUCKJUMPERS and CIRCUS.

On Monday evening next, Mr Ernie O'Niell's famous troup of Buckjumping Horses r.r,<l Bullocks, performing ponies, and all Star Artists, will pay

;\.visii to Te Kuiti, on their way to AiK ;>l,'i!;i iYr Xnins. This is without clou":a the biggest combination that

has ever vis'led here, and nothing has been see.i to equal this in the way of Buck-jumping before. Mr Ernie O'Neill offers £2O to any person that can produce a horse to unseat him, and £1 to anyone riding any of the outlaws one minute. £2 will be given to the person who can sit on "Maori Jack," the " King of Outlaws," half a minute. During the performance cash prizes will be given to those that ride the longest and best in all classes. " Little Sandow," the invincible trick pony, is said to do almost anything but talk for his trainer, Mr O'Neill, who bred and educated this small equine wonder. Barnard and Barnard, who are termed the World's Champion Rifle Shots, are making their first appearance in N.Z.. simply hold the audience spellbound with their wonderful shooting firing at small targets held on each others hands, shoulders and head and not content with holding their rifle in the ordinary way fire with it in all kinds of position-* with unerring accuracy. They must be seen to be believed. There are also four tunny Clowns and Donkeys. High Jumping by Ruby and Whataroa. Ruby has a record of Gft. 9in., and has been 7 seven years champion. Daring and intrepid exhibitions of Buckjump riding, and Fun in the Stockyard, the greatest laughter producer in the Dominion. Everybody is comfortably seated under cover and can watch the antics of the outlaw \ in the strongly ironrailed arena in perfect safety. Ladies are admitted to all parts for one shilling.
