WELL WORTH SEEING.
Initial Performance of Wirth's Aus
tralian Circus.
An Interesting and Attractive Program
of Daring Fcat- of IIor-cman-hip
and Trapcze Performances.

All the available space in the biz
tent erected at Fort and Beretania
streets was occupied last night, anC
many people were compelled to re-
main standing. The initial per.
Torrance OF Wirth's Australian
Circus was the attraction and the
show people could not expect any
better reception for an opening
than the one they had.
The performance was a very
attractive one and the program in
cluded many feats that were loud
" encored by the large audience.
The entertainment opened with an
entree OF the lady and gentlemen
riders in an exhibition of fancy
riding and feats of hOrsemanship.
Some clever acts on the flying
trapeze followed, and an exhibition
OF club swinging by two pretty
little girls in handsome dresses
brought down the house.
The pony . Nellie" was put
through some tricks, that showed
almost human instinct, by her
trainer, F. II. Montgomery. w.
Burns and a Japanese midget
showed off to fine advantage in a
ladder balancing performance.
Lahl Sing proved himself star in
the riding line, jumping on and off
his horse while going at full speed,
with perfect ease. Muriel With, a
lovely little tot of eight years, per-
formed on the slack wire in a man
ner that would do credit to an old
time slack-wire artist. Miss Nellie
Lyndhurst and Miss Ida Vernon
showed themselves to be expert
bareback riders and appeared per-
fectly at home standing on the
backs of flying steeds.
Burns and Alberto on the flying
trapeze, and Kachaiko, a youthful
Japanese bareback rider, received
several rounds of applause for their
daring feats. The clowns were
very amusing, and Z" The Alabama
Coon" as sung by little Muriel
Wirth, Kate Montgomery and Elsie
st. Leon, served as a pleasing in
terlude between the performances
of older members of the troupe.
The circus is certainly a refined
and modest entertainment and will
without doubt attract full houses
during their stay in Honolulu.
The managers have arranged mat
tiers so that there will be no more
crowding in the reserved seat sec
ton of the tent. The seats will be
numbered hereafter and purchas-
ers can make their selections a
week ahead if desirable. a family
matinee will be given tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock for the ladies
and children.
