WIDTH’S CIRCUS.

TO-MORROW NIGHT. Always establishing new records, Wirth Bros., Ltd., are more than upi holding their reputation t hits season with an entertainment that honestly eelijiscs all predecessors and which will Ibe seen in its entirety at Otaki to-mor-row night at the domain. The star, artists are all of such high standard that ,it is difficult to differentiate, but tlio bill is headed by Alfred Clark, the 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 are closely followed in point of interest by Apdale’s animal circus, absolutely the most entertaining act of its kind ever seen in this part of the world. Many Japanese acrobats have displayed their at times ‘almost supernatural ability, but the Royal Uyeno troupe with Wirth’s 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 arouse the enthusiasm of the most phlegmatic individual, their act created a sensation throughout Eastern Australia during- the past few months. Others—all stars in their particular lines—contributing to the big bill include Miss Mai"sie Wirth, principal lady trick rider, Miss Ethel, in a beautiful serpentine dance on horseback, La Belle Onra, the queen of the trapeze, to say nothing of the performing horses and the huge cageful of lions, which, born and reared with the circus, are now perfect specimens of leonine grace and beaut y and toke part in a performance that is at. once th|! admiration and wonder of all. AH the animals in the menagerie are at present in exceptionally fine condition, and will be on view between 4 and 5 p.m. in the afternoon as well as before the evening performance.
