O'NEILL'S BUCK JUMBERS. After an absence of twelve months, Mr. Ernie O'Neill reappeared before a Gisborne audience last evening with his entertainting combination of buckjumpers and circus. The large crowd which filled the tent wore entertained with two hours of as healthy enjoyment as could be desired. The oiler of £T to anyone tv ho could ride any of the buckjranpers for one minute found two acceptors in J. Morris and W- 'Williams, two noted local riders. Though they put up a plucky and clever fight for the money the'buckjumpers unseated both. Little Sandovv is certainly one or the cleverest trick ponies ever seen iu Gisborne, and he performed a number of wonderful 1 eats at the binning of his owner and breeder. Mr Ernie O'Neill. Mr. O’Neill and “Curly Joey." ‘otto oi his hoys, gave a splendid exhibition of rough riding, and were loudly cheered for the clever manner in which they stuck to a couple of desperate "outlaws.” The high-jumping horses put up a very fine performance. "Jerry.” the playful, bucking calf, convulsed the audience by the nonchalant manner in which he unseated the many youngsters who essayed to ride him. A special feature of the show was the rifle-shooting of the Barnard Brothers, who were billed -world’s champion rille shots.” ''bit a 22-bore rifle Mr. Barnard did some wonderful feats. He punctured swinging discs, perforated corks balanced on lus brother’s forehead, shattered the bowl of a pipe held in his brother s mouth as the latter walked across t«o ring, and shattered glass i>ahs tnrovni into the air. These L'-Its were performed with the rifle liv.d in all kinds of fashions. His most sensational feat was shootimLi rough a . paper screen held bv a member of the audience at- a small l ‘V, got placed oil hiV-J.u'otiiers head. I'un m the Stockyard” concluded the performance. Small bovs swarmed into the ring, and essaved the attempt to ride a pony and the donkey. Uproarious merriment was caused bv the ignominious fashion; iu which the pony unseated its riders. At, the performance this evening several of the worst '‘outlaws” in the Avi]l h b brought in for Mr. O Neill to ride.
