WOODYEAR'S CIRCUS.

Woodyear's circus re-opened last even' ing in Manners-street, for a short season, in the new marquee, to perhaps the largest audience they have played, before during their present visit, the tent being well filled. Although the of the company were old favourites, still their performances were entirelynew, and the dresses appeared fresh and handsome. "** There wasalso an entirely new programme which was even a better one than the company had yet produced. The vaulting over a number of horses, the act concluding with some difficult somersaults by Mr King were specially admired. Miss A. Shields and Ruby Scarsdale were again successful in their graceful and intrepid feats on the trapeze, whilst a performer, whose name did not transpire, displayed a wonderful amount of balancing jpn the slack wire—almost equal to PabloWtoque in his palmiest days, Messrs'rausens Talbot Shields, and Albert King gave several equestrian performances with their usual success, and Cooma ..Kitchie was as graceful as ever with the pedal tubs. Max Rinkle is a capital clown, but his song might have been judiciously excluded from the bill. The perfbrmanco concluded with an exciting hurdle race, introducing every member of the company. ..! Another performanee will be given this \ evening. N.Z, Times,
