top Of a large separator and played a
number Of pieces during the evening. The
search light was in evidence and things
could be seen very distinctly for long

thought thai it would be much larger
and were quite surprised to see it'in op-

few selections the kaleidoscope was ar
ranged TO throw pictures on a screen
which had been hung just east of the
train. The electric lights were turned of
on the west side OF the train and the at
tentioa of every one was directed 20 the
canvas. Here many pictures were thrown
and all OF them we're of interest Among
the first ones shown were those OF agri-
cultural pursuits, such os blowing in q
field, and they were very iifelike Har-
vesters at work in the ripened grain with
comfortable looking homes in the dis
lance were also shown on the cna-as.
Many things Of interest In connection
with the Port Huron machines were
shown and were undoubtedly appreciated
by the crowd, as It was distinctly a Port
Huror night. Some vocal selections OF
q pleasing nature were given. and these
were illustrated on the screen. Probably
one Of the most interesting things in
connection With the pictures shown were
the war scenes. These. together with tho
martial music of Sanford's band caused
many cheers to go up from the crowd.
The crowd out last night was very
large one and many were not able 10 get
close TO the train. 1t is estimated that
fully $500 people were present at Mr.. Van
Zandts special train and the concert.
