Perhaps the most wonderful performance of the evening was that of Master Evar, tho Japanese wondor, on the invisible clack wire. During this whibition the actor balanced himself on m foot on a wire not thicker than an «rdinary clothea-lino, which was so slack fat it would oscilato Marly two feet from the straight on either tide. Ho tiien took off a suit of clothes, put iim on again, balanced himself at full taethon hia back, and many other feats {hat compJetely astonished tho audience Ttechampiou baby equestrian, Littlo Gus, s»k! four years, appeared on hi? two bare back ponia?, "General" and " Washing ton," which ho jumped over various obstructions in a canner that reflected tho highest credit on hia trainers. Thia infant prodigy i 3 undoubtedly the young tit that has over appeared in an Auckland Cirais. As might bo expected, to was loudly applauded each timo ho presented himself. The little fellow took hi 3 {lice amongst tha tumblers, cad even there ahibited marvellous aptitude. This .child's fwiormances were the most interesting and wnderfol of the evening, when his ago is taken into consideration. Tho programme concluded with an amusing farcical act, in which Mr Jones and tbe elowni Bliss and Duvalli introduced the performing ponies. Considered as a whole, the performance was a success, though thete were naturally many littlo hitohea which invariably accompany an ■opening night. One or two of the horses 'exhibited ligai of being a little out of ima'mg, which is no doubt attributable to inacfirity daring the uea voyago. From fat to last, the interest of the affair was kept up, none of tho acts being long enough to pall the audience, and no tine being irasted, as there -was no inter mission, nor vtns the arena ovor empty until tbe entertainment closed. This has tho effect of letting out the audience at a reasonable hour, so that heads of families ran with safety take their little ones. Last eTeningtheperformance closed at 10 o'clock. True to their promiso, the proprietors of tho aremdonot permit any barnacles in the i»pe of side shows to bocome attached to fen, whwh is another great advantage. Ita same programme will be repeated this wening, aubjeet of course to alterations at Im discretion of the management.

Wiiancauf.t, yesterday. For some weeks past, reports of the finding of gold-bearing quartz in the Kaitara Block have been rifo in thia vicinity, but tho old miners, or at lcas-t most of them, have boon more or leas sceptical ns to its value. Sovoral mon, howover, liavo had sullieient faith in it to do a considerable amount of work, and last week somo of the stone was sent to Mr Pond, in Auckland, to bo assayed. Tho stono sent was all surface rock, and tho results of tho assay certainly show traces of both geld and silver in sufficient quantities to warrant furthor labour and inves tigation. Tho prospoctors ' feol very much encouraged, and aro confident of striking "pay ore." lam informed by a gentleman interested, that somo specimens taken out somo littlo distance bolow the turface aro very much hotter than those rent to Auckland, and are growing bottcr as tho men work down. Tho " find" is on proporty of Mr W. H. Sinclair, who is actively engaged in prospecting, assisted by an old minor named Shorlook, whilo tho ovnorg of ad joining properties are doing more o;- losa fossicking.
