LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. MELODRAMA AT THE CARDIFF THEATRE ROYAL. Messrs. Dottridge and Lougden's London company will appear at the Theatre Royal this week in the new and powerful melodrama, A Lion's Heart." The plot is of a sensational character, and the play abounds in scenes of thrilling interest. The first portion of the story is told at an English farm. From there the scene changes to the terrace of the Hotel de Ville, Monte Carlo, and the latter portion of the plot is worked out at the French convict settlement in New Caledonia. The company is a sti-ong one, and the piece is under the personal direction of Mr. Charles H. Longden. As a guarantee of the exciting nature of the play, it may be mentioned that A Lion's Heart is the joint production of Arthur Shirley and I Benjamin Landeek, the author of "The Grip of Iron." which recently attracted large audiences at Mr. Flêtoher's popular house. GRAND THEATRE, CARDIFF. Those acquainted with dramatic events will readily re-call the unequivocal success achieved by the celebrated burlesque opera, "Little Christopher Columbus," at the Lyrio Theatre. The provinces have since ratified the verdict of Metropolitan playgoers, and the visit of Mr. Wm. Greet's accomplished company to the Grand Theatre during the present week should prove a very papular one, for the pro- duction is far superior to most entertainments of its olaas. The libretto is by Mr. Geo. R. Sims and Mr. Cecil Jjfealeigh, and in the sub- ject of Columbus's adventures and discoveries they found congenial scope for the exercise of their 'powers' 6F 'twiwSSffr' Aii'S hHtfrtftif: "Little Christopher, represented, of course, by one of the fair eex, has the customary difficulties of a hero to pass through, but they are conceived in a spirit of true merriment, and serve as the peg on which to hang some very diverting and exhilarating incidents. The music, from the graceful and facile pen of Mr. Ivan Caryll. is uniformly bright and fascinating, some of the solos possessing a degree of melody which commands unreserved praise. Mr. Greet, who is invariably discriminating in his selection of a company, has organised a combination who do the burlesque all possible justice. The burlesque, splendidly acted, cannot fail to secure great local popularity. THE EMPIRES. CARDIFF. Those who take a. pleasure in witnessing "the novel'' should pay a visit to the Cardiff Empire this week, where they will be sure to see a performance which will afford them boundless amusement in the contortional exhibitions given by those wonderfully clever artistes Jove and Jonny. The pair, dressed in costumes which represent the wearers as frogs, go through an exceedingly sensational performance which is quite out of the common. The pro- gramme also bears the names of the Misses Grace and Sybil Arundale, who are charming duettists and dancers; Walter Tilbury,-comedian Bickley and Barron, dramatists a novel sketch entitled His Lordship," in which the Misses De Castro and Maud Stoneham take part; Ernest Trow- bridge, vocalist; Flo Morton, serie-comic vocalist and dancer; and Frank Folloy and the Harvey Boys, in the comical farce M'Ginnis's Kitchen." NEWPORT. A very attractive programme bas been arranged this week by Mr. Stoll for the New- port Empire, the leadiug feature of which is the announcement that Lieutenant Frank TraYis, the well-known ventriloquist, will be seen on the boards of the popular Charles-street house. After affording much amusement at the Cardiff Empire, the Fred Williams Sketch Company will appear in their sketch, Will Tell," which abounds in amusing situa- tions and comicalities of every description. The programme, quite up to the usual excellence, also includes Flo Clarinder, serio-comedy songstress; Charles Deane, who has become quite famous for his repertoire of drinking songs; the Belle Quartette of dancers and vocalists; the Edgar Brothers, comedians; Miss Jenny Haynes, vocalist; and Harry Wenburn, comedian. SW ANSEA. After creating quite a furore at the Cardiff Empire last week, Florrie Gallimore will appear for the ensuing six nights at Mr. Stoll's Palace of Varieties, Swansea. This charming lady, than whom there is no more popular artiste on the music-hall stage, has introduced a repertoire of entirely new songs since h#r last visit to South Wales, which, however, includes that old favourite, An Old Brass Locket." Needless to say, Miss Gallimore is sure to meet with the hearty wel- come which the patrons of the Swansea. Empire are always ready to accord to those Jtvho are so successful in providing for their enjoyment. The Brady-Johnson combination appear in a very funny sketch, entitlsd Little Bull Pup," which -and it is no exaggeration to say it-pisces the audiences under the spell of 30 minutes' roars of laughter. Besides the above-mentioned artistes, the following will occupy the stage :-Nan Twi- bell, serio-comic vocalist and dancer; Frank Coyne, the eccentric character singer Griffin and Langan, eccentric comedians Kate Chard, soprano vocalist, and Deane Brand, baritone vocalist, both of whom have figured prominently in some of the leading opera companies and Miss R. Vera, serio-comic songstress and dancer, THE PANOPTICON. At 'the Panopticon this will make their first atppearance in Cardiff, and will give a performance which is claimed to vindicate the belief in the mythical fire-gcdls. Their entertainment, which is about the most sensational ever seen on the music-hall stage, proves both tSie brothers to possess an extraor- dinary power over fire, the flames, which they literally appear to handle, seemingly having no power to harm tJhem. Those who have witnessed the perHarmance. ■admit the truth of the assertion that the performers aTe, in fact, conjurors both of fire and electricity. The programme of the stage performance in- cludes the names of the Bros. Hadley, come- dians Mr. George Bastow, vocalist; and Harry Fostel ventriloquist. In add-on to the above; there are a.l,o to be seen numerous attractions in the curiosity halk, wihdoh, are more than worth a visit.

BIG BLAST AT PENBHYN.
BIG BLAST AT PENBHYN. 125,000 TONS OF ROCK BLOWN INTO THE AIR. On Saturday, in the presence of a great con- course of people, the solitary column of rock which stood in the centre of Lord Penrhyn's famous slate quarries at Bethesda, was blown into the air, as it was found, through the action of the weather, the column was becoming a source of danger to the workmen. Through the foot of the pinnacle a tunnel was carefully bored, with a smaller tunnel branching off each side. At the extremity of 4he latter shafts were worked to a depth of six yards, ending in a wooden chamber, in which the gunpowder was laid, four tons on one side and three on the other. Both chambers were connected by an instantaneous fuse' with the larger tunnel. The services of electricity were dispensed with, four lines of ordinary fuse being laid on to the end of the instantaneous one. These were lighted by one of the workmen, and in about fifteen minutes' n time an immense explosion occurred, and the column, which represented something like 125,000 tons, was blown into the air. and came crashing to the ground.
RAILWAY SHEDS REMOVED.
RAILWAY SHEDS REMOVED. RHYMNEY TAKE THEM TO CAER- PHILLY. During last week 'lirfrVYrr fl* ney Baalway Company visited Caerphilly, with the view of selecting a site whereon to erect new sheds, and thus dispensing with those now situated at the Docks, Cardiff. The spot visited is situated on the Caerphilly side of Penyrhed Station. Although this change has been talked of for some years, it appears now to be assuming a practical shape. The reason of the change is economy. Land at Cardiff being so heavily burdened, it is anticipated that a considerable saving will be made by the transfer to a site which can be obtained at a. low figure.

The Central News says :—The little village of Woodburn Green, near Maidenhead, was thrown into a state of great excitement on Saturday afternoon by an extraordinary attempt to murder. The assistant schcolmaster of the village went to the barber's shop to be shaveS The barber's assistant, a young man named Abrahams, attended to the customer, and, after lathering his chin, Abrahams suddenly forced back the schoolmaster's head and drew the razor across his throat, inflicting a serious, but not necessarily fatal, wound. Abrahams, who appeared either to be insane or under the in- fluence of drink, was taken into custody.

Every body connected with the produc- tion has reason for congratulation at the verdict which Cardiff has passed upon Mr. Branscombe's delightful work. whilst the artistes entrusted with the interpretation have added considerably to their already acknowledged reputations.

IRacing on Wooden Legs
Racing on Wooden Legs JOLLY SPORT OF THE "TIM.. BER-TOED." This is the Newest Parisian Inven- tion, and a Race on Crutches is the Next. to.. 1 A race between 66 wooden-legged men and one woodten-legged woman was the novel sport- ing event which took place on March 10 at Nogent-sur-Marne, a pretty village three miles. east of the Paris fortifications. Judging from the widespread attention which the contest at- tracted and the ardour of the numerous com- petitors, "courses de jambarde," or wooden-leg races, bid fair to become epidemic in and around Paris during the coming summer. The novel idea originated in the nimble brain of M. Viard, the one-legged tavern-keeper in this village on the River Mame. Business for the purveyors of food and drink—especially drink—has been. much depressed of late, and one rainy evening, not long ago, after listening for some time to the boasts of pedestrian prowess made by two; of his patrons who were "timber-toed'' like him- self, he offered to race them both twice around the large room for a bottle of wine. The ion- keeper won, and While enjoying the fruits of his victory suddenly proposed to the assembled company a similar contest on a large scale. The idea met with instant favour, and a committee was organised for the reception of entries. The 67 who competed responded at the first call, and it was deemed wise not to increase this num- ber until the success or failure of the first meet- ing was assured. A short time before the race took place the competitors filed into M. Viard's cabaret in order to verify their entries and to ri-ceive the numbered armlets which were-; to serve them for their colours. Some of the names of lie contestants were most pictu- resque. One. a M. Tisaot, insisted on being' described in this fashion "The Terrible Cham- nion of Belleville, widely known as 'Head of Celery'; the professional acrobat, who will per- form to-morrow in one of our grand Parisjani cafe concerts." The other curious t<ypes ranged in years from a boy of nine to a grey- beard of sixty. There were M. Roulin, who had come all the way from Orleans; M. Jack, a burly Englishman, dreaded like an undertaker's mute; M. Florent, "a. lyric artiste' from the Delassements-ComiqUgs of Menil- montant. a well-known quarter of Paris, and the descendant of an illustrious family. M. le Comte de Stock. The one who attracted the most attention, however, was the sole repre- 4 sentative of the feebler but more beautiful sex, Mdlle. Collet, who did not draw back at the nrospeot of showing her wooden leg. The Oom- missary-General in the tavern, who had assumed temporarily the duties of secretary, noted down the age of each contestant—Mdlle. Collet owned up to 26 years—and likewise the cause of his infirmity. One of the odd propositions which M. Viard had to listen to was that of a deaf man who asked that the signal for starting micrh t be a pistol fired close to his ear, as other. wise he might be left -a the post. The oom- mittee deliberated on this some time, but. as there were no firearms handy, thev were unable to grant the request, and the deaf man waa forced to bow respectfully to their decision. The course was about 690ft. in length, along the road lying between the river ana the base of the viaduct in Nogent-sur- Marna It was a most picturesque spot, and a large crowd lined both sides of the track. Before the races began the contestants rubbed" themselves with all sorts of preparations. Some took a preliminary canter over the course.. while others spent their time in putting ■ finishing touches to the wooden members. One of the champions even went sc far as to give his a careful scraping. The ground wag moist and by this means he hoped to diminish the adhesion of the mud. When two oelock canie tha_.starter called the- roce thrtwigh an immense tin speaking-trumpet, but when the contestants lined up an unfortunate difficulty presented itself; there were 65 who had lost their legs at the thigh, and two whose stumps extended below their knees. After much discussion the committee declined tc make any distinction, and a lively storm of protests at once arose. One of the runners objected obstinately and retired from the race. Finally, everything having been arranged, 'the parting signal was given, and M. Rouan, who had the advantage of a knee, WM easily the winner. It was so evident that his leg, having been out below the knee. gave him great supe- riority over the "cuissards," or those who had lost theirs at the thigh, that he was at once unanimously disqualified. He acknowledged the justice of the decision upon being promised that the papers should mention his victory, and that he should not lose the bets he had made. He took great pride in the fact that his name would thus pass down to posterity as the cham- pion wooden-legged runner of the world, in the jambard class. Special races then followed, the contestants being- matched according to age, those with the right leg gone bein^ pitted against each other, while those whose left legs were missing raced together. Then there were races between the champions of each class, and finally a consolation race. The weather was threatening, and the track slow and heavy from recent rains, but both participants and spectators were more than satisfied with the results, and there was much laughter as some of the runners went by jumping on all fours and turning cartwheels like new species of kan- garoo. There were several falls, but ljone of them serious. Towards the end of the contest the number of accidents increased owing to the track becoming more slippery and to the con- testants being less able to carry their constantly increasing loads of spirituous refreshment offered by the enthusiastic spectators. After the races were over came the formal distribution of prizes, which was accompanied by much cheering and popping of corks, and a. continual murmur of 'A votr« f/ sante. monsieur," ''A la votra," which is the Irench way of saying "Here's looking at you." I Paul Roulin carried off the first prize, a bronze statuette of Fame, while the other winners were presented with carved canes, bottles of cham- pagne, pictures, medals, and watches. One of them received .i. tobaioo-box, set in a wooden leg. Thirty-four new pairs of shoes were pro- vided by the 'ommittee, so twice that number of competitors went away wdl shod and happy. After the prizes had been distributed, every- body adjourned to the Moulin Rouge of the town, where they enjoyed themselves in dano- ing. the usual noise of which was much aug- mented by the lively thumping of wooden legs. There was one dark speck, and onlv one, upon the whole occasion—Monsieur the President of the Republic had been invited by the com- mittee. but he had not deigned to reply or to. send a prize. The tavern-keepers of Nogent- sur-Marne are full of joy since the success of M. Viard's experiment, and think they have found in it a short cut to fortune. In th« f(ver of their first success a thousand projects haunt their minds. They are already planning steeplechases for c-ne-legged men, with jumps over all sorts of obstacles and ditches. Races between culs-de-jaitte, or people who hav* lost their legs at the hips, and push them- selves about with their hands ;n little low carts, are also talked of. A race between crip- ples who are minus both legs and walk on stilts, and also a contest on crutches, wJl take place early in August.
