C1Rcus.-The great San Francisco Circus gave
an entertainment in Auburn last Tuesday night.
We have noticed through our exchanges that
this circus has been credited with success where
ever they have performed, and these reports
have been fully verified by the creditable man.
ner in which they acquitted themselves here
The whole performance is deserving of great
merit but the most striking and interesting
feature of this entertainment is the trick horses.
We heard an enthusiastic admirer of these Won
derful animals declare they could do anything
that man could except talk.
