performance and was given to a full
house. The audience was large but not
quite so large as the crowd which

applauded at intervals throughout the
performance. The contortion act was
especially fine and the Sire King"
showed that he had no fears of torment
in the near future. The after piece was
good and fully establishes the reputa-
ton of Australia's popular comedian,
Mr.. Robert Love, as manager and an
actor. The circus shows tonight Go
