THE FEMALE BLONDIN.

Considerable excitement prevailed yesterday after-
noon in the vicinity of Cremorne•gardens on account
of the announcement that a lady calling herself
the Female Blondin " was about to cross the
river on a tight-rope extending from the gardens 8.
to a wharf at Battersea. Through some deficiency 2s
in the guide-ropes, as they are called, the feat
Was not completely accomplished, and when the of
lady, who had started from Battersea, had per-
at
formed four-fifths of her perilous journey, she was
compelled to sit down, and ultimately descend into
Et boat. The courage displayed under these trying ai
circumstances created almost a greater amount of :I
admiration than would have been produced had the Bi
artist walked all the way from Battersea to Cre-
Morne, and of her ability to perform the feat there si
is not the slightest doubt. Both sides of the river :I'
were densely thronged, and, though the perform-
ance was over at half-past seven, the roads leading
to Cremorne were scarcely passable at nine o'clock
on account of the returning crowds. The experi-
ment will be repeated on Monday next and the four
following Mondays, when Mr. E. T. Smith will
give as many special fetes. On the 27th inst. Mr.
Adams, the secretary of Cremorne, whose indefati-
gable zeal and industry have proved eminently
serviceable for th© last 10 years, will take his
benefit.
