WIRTHS' CIRCUS.
RoturntoMastorton. Wirtbs' Circus and Wild West Show, which some months agocrealed quite a furore in Masterton, is announced to make its re-appearunce, in far greater strength and fullness, on Thursday and Friday next, April 21st and 22nd, The Melboumn Argus, referring to this mammoth show, says:—" Wirth Brothers' Circus, which opened in Melbourne on Saturday night, is one of the Lest circuses that ever appeared in this city, and the thousands of spectators who assembled to witness the first performance were evidently as much surprised at the magnitude and variety of the programme as they were untertained by the excellent manner in which it was produced. As coinpired with most of ilie circuses which have hitherto visited this city it is both original and interesting, and has considerably more oflho dignity of ancient circensian games about it. The tent is an extraordinary large one, covering two rings of ordinary size, and having a large space between, on which a superior company of clowns, including a humorous negro, indulged in antics of a highly amusing character. During the first part of the show performances were given.in the two rings simultaneously, and as there was always somothing going on in the intermediate space worthy of attention the entertainment must have bewildered those who were anxious to see everything. At one time there were no less than seven different shows in progress."
