WIRTH’S CIRCUS.
A real travelling menagerie, with it-, four ponderous elephants, lions, tigers, panthers, leopards, jackals, polar bears, brown and grizzly bears, monkeys, etc A real circus, with real ring horses and performing ponies, horses m liber j acts, and horses in menage acts, all young and blue-blooded, performing elephants, trained lions and tigers. A circus and menagerie that takes three trains to convey it from place to place. Such a circus is that owned and personally conducted by the Messrs Wirth Bros., whose home is Australia. It is Australia’s representative show, organised by the present'owners in ..ydney in 1880 after years of travel and experience. It has twice travelled the world, the only circus in the world to accomplish this feat. It has met opposition in strange lands, and has always come out victorious. The proprietors have travelled round the globe a dozen times seeking novelties and sensations. They have been everywhere, seen everything, and got everything worth having, their vast experience- teaching them the wants of the public, and they spare no expense in satisfying.their needs. Each year this huge circus has grown and improved, until now it is one of the greatest amusement institutions under the sun. There are only two other travelling circuses in the world that can compare with this immense aggregation, whoso towering stature throws its mighty shadow on all others and envelopes them in the dim twilight of the commonplace. It is indeed a huge concern employing nearly 200 hands, 80 horses, and scores of dens of animals, its huge marquee, capable oi holding 5000 persons, is covered in throughout, and is both wind and waterproof, and has thousands of yards more canvas in its construction than all other ‘shows in Australia combined. Its proof this year is a veritable network of aerial riggings, on which perform the very best acrialists the world has ever
seen. The circus will perform at Otaki on Thursday. February 16th, for one nigh only.
