Description A company of Chinese performer arrived in Maryborough yesterday, and pitched a spacious tent down on the flat,on the main lead. About six o'clock in the evening the monotonous rolling of the "Tartar Drum," intermingled with the sonorous gong and other instruments of music. We did not witness the performances, but were told they consisted of Chinese dramatic pieces interspersed with feats of tumbling and other acrobatic
exercises.
