Persons who visit Philadelphia should
take time to visit the new Cyclorama of
the battle OF Gettysburg. 1t is a most
wonderful scene. You step out of Phila-
delphia's streets and are at once trans
ported to and are overlooking an appar

scenes Of carnage, the charge Of brigades,
the sweep of artillery, and the smoke of
battle. In no other way, except In actual
service, can any one obtain so vivid an
idea Of what battle is. The building 10
which the Cyclorsma is exhibited, is To-
Gated at Broad and Cherry, short dis
lance north Of the new city hall. Capt.
Newton, veteran of the late war, gives
interesting and instructive lectures, ex-
planning the scenes, every half hour.
