Some of the Entertainments to be Given
 at the Opera House.
 The production of Charles H. Hoyt's new piece, "A Tin Soldier" at the Opera House last evening was witnessed by a small audience. The house was in a continou s uproar from the rise to the fall of the curtain in each act. The play is no play at all. It is a farce devoid of interest ex- cept for the great amount of nonsense which the author has dished up in clever way. The company is we'll balanced and gave creditable performance.
 Prof Forbes illustrated lecture, 1.-The Legendary Rhine," will be given at the Opera House tomorrow evening.
 Modjeska will make her first appearance in this city on Monday evening, February 13, appearing as Rosalind in Shake speare's delightful comedy, GAS You Like It."

E. Spinger, J. N. Long, Mary Shaw, Clara Ellison, Mrs Penoyer, Grace Filkin and Freddy Stinson.
 Robert Downing will appear at the Gladiator" the favorite drama of Forrest and Mccullough. It will be his first ap- pearance here as well as the first produc- ton of s'The Gladiator" The New York Herald says that although others claim the mantle worn by Forrest and McCul- tough, the phenomenal success that Robert Downing is meeting with proves hin, to be the worthy successor" and the New York Sun says that Eff ever a star achieved a glorious triumph it was Downing

 The stock market this morning was moderately active, but the tone was feverish. In the early dealings there was O weak feeling, caused by some selling by London and news of further rate cutting in the west. The London selling was due to the war scare, but this soon died out, and by Il clock the market was steadier, with prices on the advance. At 12 o'clock the early decline had not only been recovered. but a fractional ad- vance over Saturdays figures established The market was excessively dull after midday The tone was firm throughout, with the best prices current in most cases at the close. The changes, as compared with Saturdays closing were slight, being only fractional either way. The sales for the day amounted to 15s, 900 shares.

Chicago Must Manufacture Gas.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.-Professor J. F. Siebel, we'll known geologist, was engaged by Chi cago firm that has a gas find to examine the premises as an expert. In his report Professor Siebel discourages the idea that natural gas will ever be found in Chicago in great quan- titles. The Trenton limestone, he states, which is the source of the gas supply, dips as it passes under Chicago and fifty miles west of the city, and at the same distance east rises nearer the surface. Any gas in the rock, the professor states, would naturally be found at the highest points, either to the west, in La Sale county, or some distance east, in Indiana.

TWENTY-FOUR HOLDERS.
THE OTHER TWENTY-THREE HAVE
 DROPPED OUT.

The Second Day Opens with Guerrero
 and Hart in the Van, Closely Followed
 by Albert, with Golden and Panchot
 Not Far Behind.
 NEW YORK, Feb. I.-The popular fancy seems to have been ensnared by the six days race in progress at Madison Square garden. Yet the race is by no means an ideal affair of its kind. None of the arrangements can be described as perfect, and many of them could not we'll be worse.
 It soon became evident that the race was not likely to prove a record breaker. At the end of the first hour, a. m yesterday, Cart wright and Guerrero were even, at 3-4 miles. The record for 1 hour is miles and 1885 yards; it was made by Littlewood on May 23, 1881, in New York. At o'clock in the morning Cartwright led the runners. His score was 42 14 miles, or over , miles behind Hazael's record of 47 miles 100 yards, made in London on April 21, 1870. Hegelman was in the van at o'clock in the morning. His score was 54 34 miles. The record for eight hours, 61 1-2 miles, was made by Hazael on May 9, 1881, in this city. Hegelman remained ahead the greater part of the day. At o'clock in the morning he had made 63 1-2 miles against Hazaers record of 6S 1-2 miles At noon Hegelman's score was 5T 7-S miles against the record, 80 7-S miles, made by Powell on Feb. ?, 1882, in this city. At s o'clock in the afternoon Hegelman had made 91 34 miles against a record of 101 5S miles made by Rowell.
 Guerrero went to the front at o'clock, and at 4:25 there arose shout of quite large di- mensions when the score board showed that Guerrero had made 100 miles. Rowelrs record at o'clock of the first day of the race, in which he showed how much ground a man could get over in day, was 114 1-2 miles.
 At no hour of the day were there less than 1000 people in the garden, and when the thousands weren't looking at the runners or unpioring them to go faster they were gazing at the score board.
 At o'clock yesterday afternoon there were forty men ill the race. Five minutes after ward there were only thirty-nine. Emil Paul. who had won some notoriety us q quail eater, sent word to the management that bis particular sponge was in tine air. He was completely Tagged after covering 5 1-4 miles.
 Numerous ''unknowns' as well as ''knowns' discovered during the day that six-day race bore not the slightest resemblance to a picnic, and rather than die on the track they hade it sorrowful adieu, and turned their weary steps homeward.
 The most exciting period of the match was confined within the fifteen minutes preceding midnight. The men who were within reach ing distance of 100 miles were cheered at and yelled at in a manner that put new life into them, and more than once another runner acted as a pacmaker for Stout, while others performed the same friendly office for John son and Vint The men ill the race to-day are as follows, with their score at O. m
