A GOOSE RAcE.-Tho Chicago Evening

decided the championship of their respec-
tive steeds in the race on the Lake Basin
yesterday afternoon, in the presence OF
about 5000 people. The contest was one
OF the most novel and laughable ever wit
uessed. The distance was three hundred
yards--from the foot OF Adams street to the
pier south The ''teams" consisted of six
geese each. The birds were harnessed, aud
attached TO board shaped like banjo, on
which wasbtub was set. a paddle aud
long whip were allowed each driver
Shortly after three o'clock a send. was el-
iected, Eorris first, Mas second, and Hart
outside. Mas Off wheeler turned over and
faced his driver, and was pulled along in
that position. Hart got ahead oil his com
petitors at the start, but Morris soon over
hauled him. The latter's team made for
the shore, and he had to resort to much
padding to keep them straight Morris
finally reached the goal four fee! ahead of
Hart, Mas being left considerably behind
The distance was made in seven minutes
aud thirty seconds. The purse of $500 was
awarded to Morris. The sport was intensely
laughable and many who witnessed it shook

FURTHER FAILURES THREATENING. The
Times says ''the crash in gold stocbs yester-
day afternoon has, it is said affected many
houses which escaped the crash in gold last
week. Houses which suffered by the fall in
the gold market and were brought almost TO
the verge OF ruin, could not be expected to
Withstand the double shock, and it is ex-
pected that to-day will reveal the fact that
very large number Of firms have gone
under. If the Gold Exchange Bank should
fail to meet its obligations, or if a run should
be made on that institution it is expected
that the crash in Wall street will be eutire-
ly overwhelming, That the bank is in q
critical condition is felt certain; that it has
lost the confidence Of the brokers is fact.
and with this support withdrawn from it,
the end Of that institution must soon fol-

TnEATRE-FIRsT APPEARANCE OF MISS
HERRING - AN INTERESTING BILL To
NTGHT.-An appreciative audience assem-
bled last evening at Sobel's Opera House, it
being the first appearance Of Miss Fanny
Herring in this place. 'Leah, The Forsa-
ken," was personated by Miss Herring in q
manner not often excelled, and tho audience
told their satisfaction in rounds of applause.
We have never seen more perfect represen-
tation OF the difficult character of ''Leah,"
and all are free to admit that Miss Herring
has few suIeriors as an actress. We can
congratulate our theatre going people that
in the company now perforforming here, we
have one of unusual merit, and worthy the
patronage Of the public. The entire caste
is worthy Of special mention. Tonight
will be presented the romantic military
drama In three acts. entitled the .'French
Spy" in which Mrs Herring will personate
the three great characters of Mathilde De
Meric, IIeury St. Alme, and Hamet, an
Arab boy. The evenings entert ainment
will conclude with Miss Herring's great
speciality of Ragged Pat, in the drama ol
Ireland as it was, in which the young actress
will appear with song and dance.

and, and their bodies lie scattered along
the coast of King Williams Land, some in
isolated graves, and others in the camping
places, where they fell and died in compa-
nies. The melancholy history has its
crowning horror in the knowledge that they
died OF starvation through the base behav-
ior of the Esquimaux, and that in learning
their fate Captain Hall was reduced 10 the
awful necessity of taking the life of one of
his own mutnous meu. Mr. Hall states

Notwithstanding the Introduction of petro-
leum the price OF whale oil continues very
high. Ithas nearly doubled in fifteen years,
and had not the Pennsylvania oil wells been
discovered, whale oil would now be worth
three dollars per gallon. The discovery of
petroleum has been to oil consumers inst
what the discovery Of coal was to the burner
of wood. While New York was city OF
200 inhabitants, it still used wood
which had become very scarce and dear
Just at the time Of great demand coal was
brought from the Lackawanna mines, and
the wood trade gradually died out. Ia this
way it seems that divine Providence
watches over the wants of mankind.
