THE CIRCUS.

Harmaton's Gircus still continues to attract large audiences' nightly and last night was no exception to the rule. The performance passed. off without a hitch and the different items on the long programme received well deserved applause. We would remind our readers that the Jansens make their first appearance to- night and that the Frezagondas are still on the programme.

Entries for the coming race meeting closed at five o'clock to-day, so we may soon, expect to see the list of entries given out. The death of Her Majesty the Queen wil cast a gloom over the "meeting, which would have been abandoned due of respect to her memory, but, unfortunately a race meeting cannot be abandoned without a great loss of money to those concerned and hence our annual meeting must take place,
