lengthy grip, and Spring is fast

The vitascope will be the great
est attraction Haley has ever
seen, says the HALEY News Min
er. Right here on the stage you
will see New York's fire depart
ment with their large splendid
horses, engines, carts and men
to a fire. 1t will be as
natural as life. In fact, it is just
the same as though you were
standing on the streets when the
scene was taken. Another scene
will be the Rio Grande Western
at the rate of 20 miles
an hour; one can see the track
out from a strip of
woodland just as plain as though
you were looking out at a win
dow at the real landscape; next
you see the steam rising above
the trees from the approaching
then you hear a whistle
in the distance, and the train
soon appears in sight with men
on the platforms and at the win
dows waving handkerchiefs, and
with the usual rattle of the train
wheels bv lightning speed.
Then there will be an exciting
hurdle race-men mo united on
fine horses running and jumping
high hurdles. Also May Irwin
and John Rice in their famous
kiss scene. 1t is indeed wonder
full when moving scenes can be
from New York, or
any other part of the world, and
