steam into the bay and it is indeed inspiring to realize, though far from home, they are greeted with enthusiasm, and as Admiral Sperry and his officers step on shore they are given tremend- ous ovation and received by the gov general while the bands play the American national airs. Next we see the admiral and his host starting for the review amidst the cheers of the throngs that line the way, then comes the parade of the American officers and marines in the main street of Sidney, which is decorated beautifully in honor of the great occasion. We next see the arrival of Admiral Sperry at the review, and Lord Northcote with his staff, and then one of the grandest sights that any man would wish to sec takes place on the vast parade ground, where theh native soldiers in their gala attire act as escort to their American friends, who line up and make granI showing, while they bear aloft the Stars and Stripes. After the review we see Admirals Sperry, Moore and Lord Northcote return to the palace, where the grand reception takes place. Final ly, We see the ships as they leave for Japan, and here is shown an artistic piece of photography taken in the pale moonlight, where we see the cruisers stealing away in the dim of night, while the moon brightly shines on the peaceful waters, lending an air of tran quility to the scene as our boys start for home.
 While this picture is without doubt the greatest ever seen in Globe, the balance of the program is very strong one. There are two reels of the Cam eraphone. Reel No. I, "Imitation of Geo. M. Conan, the Yankee Doodle Boy" Browning & Welp, a tough char acter sketch, and Anna Held s famous "Teddy Bear" song. Reel No. ? is Samuel & May in their "Rolling Chair Specialties, "The High School Marm," scene in "The Towing Wilderness" and "Thc Good-Goo Man," song sketch from the Isle of Spice, an octette of pretty broilers. Also silent pictures of that magnificent war drama, Barbara Fritehie," and "Yen Yensen," five hundred feet of laughing. This bill is presented tonight at the Cameraphone theater.

The wit went to first one and then to an other until he had reached the number of fifty. And this is how he won the bet. He whispered, half audibly, to each:
