Ben Hur at the Academy.

When Klaw e. Erlanger's Ben Hur"
opened at the Academy of Music, Monday
evening, Feb. gath, the famous chariot race
was seen for the first time in Baltimore.
This feature of The stup .ndous production is
one of the most perfect Illusions known to
stage Twelve horses run in full view OF the
audience at the same time. The four bays
driven by Ben Hur were chosen for beauty
as well as speed. Mcssala's chariot is drawn
by two blacks and two whites. The illusion
of the race is secured through the employ
ment Of device containing the trcadmill
principle Eight treadmiIle, one for each
horse, are built into the stage. These tread
mills have a running surface Of selected
hickory Stats, two inches wide, with enough
space left between so that they may run cas-,
lly and accurately over the frame work. The
Stats move over 1868 small ball hearing, rub
Der tired wheels to larger wheel eight
inches in diameter at either end. As each
horse attempts to go forward, the impact Of
his hoofs pushes the treadmil into action,
and the cyclorama of panied figures. giving
also splendid view of the arena, some forty
feet in height and 20O6 feet in length is
rushed across the stage at lightning speed
in an opposite direction. The spectacle APP
parentIy is travelling with the racing horses
SO that the detail Of the exciting incident is
lost. 1t may be interesting to state that 70
stage hands are required to work the big
chariot race in addition to the dynamos.
The advance sale of seats IS now in pro,
gress, and 1t is proving to be the largest ever
known IN Baltimore. Especial attention is
being gwen to mail orders. These should
be accompanied by remittance, and tickets
will be mailed upon receipt of order. Mat
inees are given Wednesday and Saturday.
