An entire change of programme has been introduced at Warren's Circus. The general excellence of this ''second edition" seems to eclipse oven the first efforts of these versatile artists. With the prolonged and hearty applause that greeted the new "turns" as a criterion, it is evident that the next few nights will attract even greater patronage. The largo attendances ever since the opening night afford proof positive of the high favour among wil classes of 1 circus possessing such tnerits as Warren's. Among the now numbers is a very amusing clown's entry with a trained pig. The aggressive tactics of the pig never allow the fun tu lag for a moment. The rollicking humour of "Merry Little Bonham" and the droll antics of his Duwmy, Mr. ©. Ro, provoke much merriment, Mins Eth Warren exhibits much. that ix new interesting on the silver thread and execute. a coon long and dance with grace and finish, Bysack's tup-spinning and "Comanchi's" barrel rolling add much to the merits of the new programme, Onv of the most laughable sketches hero for a long time was one in which a very small mule showed all eccentricities known to his kind, It was an exhibition of animal intelligence at once as amusing os it was amazing.
In the accounts we have written of this very complete Circus, justice has hardly done to the admirable performance of Miss Ethel Warren, aged 16, and Miss Ivy Warren, who is under 12,'on the aerial trapeze. The pluck, confidence, and grace with which these two girls go through their very daring performance are beyond prai-e, and the precautions taken for their safely are xv complete that the feeling of nervousness with which one sometimes watches these beautiful flights through the air does not obtrude itself, Bysack is as good aa ever in his horizontal har performances; the results of the good training of Professor Bristol's horses and mules are eminently worth watching; " Merry Little Bonham is an excellent clown and an accomplished acrobat, while the Brothers Alton do their feats of ground and lofty tumbling in the neatest possible mauner. John West is " very skilful bareback rider, and Miss Rosie Haynes is. most accom: plished little pig-faced Indy, and a splendid steeple-chaser. The promptitude with which the acts follow each other and the good order that la kept are especially noticeable; and one can only wish that the Chinese, who fill the marquee, could be taught to applaud. Finally, very high praise must be given to Miss Ethel Warren's performance on a really invisible piano wire, for it is quite exciting to see what. seems to be impossibility so easily and gracefully achieved.
