International Circus.
The entertainment provided by the above company was fairly patronised lait night,, and seemed to give satisfaction to the audience. Some new fetW on hori. zontal bars (of which there are three) were cleverly performed, as also were . those on the high trapeze, the easy, finished manner in which the various daring feats were done being remarkable. Ibe balancing capabilities of one or two r members of the troupe were simply won- i derful, and mutt be seen to be believed. One balanced a paper parcel with a fine point on his nose, and kept it there while it burned to ashes, and then blew it off; .another had mysterious command over plates and bowls in the air. 'The horsemanship was good, particularly that ot a youth who went through air manner of manojuvres with another equestrian. The clowns were diverting. Agile© would appear to be of india-rubber composition. The entertainment concluded with the famous ride of Tnrpin to York, and the incidents in connection therewith accord* ing to tradition. ' '
