Inside there was pandemonium. It is safe to say that no competition of any’ other character whatsoever ever created such enthusiasm among the masses as the competition for tho Astley belt, now in progress. The thousands who obtained seats on Sunday night, not content to sit quietly and watch tho four men begin their long journey, stood on tables and chairs and even on one another's shoulders. Tho result was broken tables, @emolished chairs and personal collisions. Such a wight had never been witnessed in this country, and: the English representative now here to look after the interosts of the sigkeholder and Sir John Astley held up his hands in wonderment and exclaimed, A great sight! A wonderful people!” As morning ‘wore on and three o’clock arrived, 8 small number left the house and sought their beds, Many re- mained all night, and daylight found them in their seats, now and then nodding, now and then soundly sleeping and now and then jumping from “cat naps’’ to yell words of encouragement to the sontestants. A picture of Gilmore's at six o'clock yesterday morning would be worth preserving. AFTER THE START. ’ Very soon after Rowell, O'Leary, Harriman and ‘Bonis started on their long tramp the English can- flidate assumed the lead and retained it through the tight. Rowol! put in many long runs. O'Leary now and then struck into a jog, but would scldom go amore than halt a lap before the heel and toe business was resumed. Harriman journeyed around with that grand swinging stride which favorably impresses: the spectators, while Ennis, now and then making good runs st the corners, kept pegging away, with the resolve not to exhaust his resources too.early in the contest. At two o'clock, Monday, the competition ‘being just one hour old, the tally stood—Rowell, 6 miles, 7 laps, 110 yards; O'Leary, 6 miles, 2 leps, 35 yards; Ennis, 6 miles, 1 lap, 165 yards. The Eng- lishman’s fastest mile to this point was 8m. 27s.; Yhat of O'Leary 9m. 1%s.; Harriman, 9m. 56s., and Ennis, 9m. 15s. Much amusement was created at the early stage pf the hunt by one or more of the competitors joining in a “double,” or running abreast, and the shouts of hundreds on Such occasions were desfening.

The first the champion received when about towstert, and was from Mrs, John Morrissey. ‘The socond was handed him yesterday morning, and with it was this card:—Mr. Daniel O'Leary, with wishes of success from William J. Dufty, Washing- ton Heights.” On the table stood an immense basket of flowers, the gift of Mr. Jacob G. Bebus, and be- side the basket was a neat bouquet, which came from Miss Bartel. Now and then the gentle face of the champion’s wife could be seen in the doorway, and, thou she does not remain in the cottage perma- nently, it can be easily seen that a wo- man's hand has Cede aah to do sie. ee comfortin, balay gasp a neatness pervading the place. © Fully uy thousand persons were in the Gt at three o’clock in the afternoon, and all ‘wero going at & rare pace, and working sssiduously.

The play is handsomely mounted and should enjoy see favor. It is fnll of healthy laughter, and far beyond hundreds of that have come and gone since it was written, nearly twenty years ago. It is of the present time, and the only change necessary to bring it down to date was the substitution of pullbacks for erinolines, in the dialogue and the ladies’ dresses. We welcome Mr. Wallack back to comedy ss though he had been on 8 long and perilous journey. FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE. “Thro’ the Dark,” Mr. James Steele Mackaye's latest work, was produced last night at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, and may be termed 8 success: before tts first audience, ave it close attention and frequent applause, The story is briefly aa followe:—The (which might be entirely done away with and its story told by other and shorter means in the play) introdaces a8 tos » Graham, his wife aad children, and Peter Stink, & species of Fagin. The gambler, losing bis all at play, bargains away his child, Arthur, to dlink, but when Slink claims bim to make gnother “artful Dodger” of bis purchase the mother, to prevent Sifpk from taking the child, gives him to her brother, John Alston, an engraver, who destres to adopt and save the boy.

Another phase of heroism, gentle in, its expression, but no less admirable, is shown if Kate's devotion to her husband, A strong contrast is drawn to these charac- ters in Hardie and Van _ Silink; but to analyze or describe at length the author's work is at this late hour impossible.

LYCEUM THEATRE—'‘PINAFORE” AND THE ‘‘S0R> CERER.” A large audience filled the Lyceum Theatre last night, the attraction being the production, by Mz. E. & Harvey’s Opera Company, from Philadelphia, of the now celebrated ‘Sorcerer’ and “H, M. 8. Pinafore.” It the orchestra hed been good there would be little reason for complaint, but unfortunately the artists were now and then left to their own resources and compelled to sing without proper accompaniment, Miss Marie Harvey rendered her part edmira bly as Aline in the “Sorcerer,” and found excellent coadjutors in Miss Louise Leighton, Miss E.
