You see the waves, breaking: on the shore, people walking around and the usual scenes and incidents, easily recognized by bathers, of old and ever popular Atlantic City. This picture must be seen to be appreciated. Children are seen with shovel and tucket digging holes in the sand, boys playing leap-frog, and the lover and his sweetheart making love under an umbrella, besides the bicycle riders and the pony carriages, etc., etc. GOING. TO THE FIRE AT ATLANTIC CITY. This picture was taken by permission of the Mayor and is a very fine view of the apparatus used by the seashore firemen. Interesting and exciting. The engine and hose-cart, as well as the hook-and-ladder, are seen in succession, racing as though it were a matter of life and death. This picture will please the little folks immensely. BEACH AT ATLANTIC CITY. A natural as well as a good subject. This picture portrays all that is interesting, as well as what usually happens on the beach. Children, and even grown people, playing games, etc. A subject of this kind is bound to win an encore, and those who carry these pictu res will be far ahead of their competitors, in that, no other film makers can offer' them popular subjects that charm the eye, such as these do. SHOOTING THE CHUTES. You not only see the Chutes, but also the Switchback, both moving. It is surprising to see the foam as the boat strikes the water, just as you have seen it, and you can scarcely realize that you are merely looking at a picture. You see jolly crowds of young men and women flying through the air, and after striking the water, it amazes every one to see them covered with the spray, hugging each other as though they were about to be upset. Very exciting. JAPANESE VILLAGE. This is one of the finest pictures ever taken. To those who have never seen the Japs as they live, this picture will prove a source of enjoyment as well as serve to interest them of the peculiar habits of the Japanese. Here you see the Japanese as they are in Japan with their flowing robes of brilliant colors, and you forget that you are in Atlantic City, and can almost imagine that you are in a strange land. JAPANESE WIRE WALKER. This picture was taken at Atlantic City in a japanese Garden which was visited daily by thousands of people, and is a very fine scene. Warranted to interest anyone. A wire walker, and especially a Japanese, is not a common every-day scene, and we therefore take pride in placing this picture before the public, predicting for it a great future. JAPANESE TEA GARDEN. This picture is a wonder. You see people walking across a bridge, while below in the water can be seen two Japs in a boat paddling around in their own peculiar style. The tables are arranged in beautiful designs, and the wily Jap waits on his customers in the costume worn in his native country, much to the amusement of those to whom he caters. LIFE RESCUE. This is the most wonderful picture ever taken. Two people went out too far in the ocean to bathe; the gentleman was drowned, the lady saved by the life guards, who can be seen swimming out to her. The name on the boat can be easily discerned. This subject would fill any house to its utmost capacity. BROADWALK. Shows baby carriages, promenaders, etc., and is a very amusing subject of interest to many. The crowd seen on thebroadwalk is immense. You can see the faces plainly, and many no doubt will recognize some friend, who might have passed when this picture was taken. SIXTY MINUTE FLYER. This train runs from Philadelphia to Atlantic City, a distance of sixty-five miles, in sixty minutes. It is the quickest train on earth. The signal can be seen changing color. Very exciting. While a train of cars is a comm.on thing, every one is naturally interested in this giant steam horse, who travels at the rate of over one mile in one minute This train has almost a national reputation. CITY HALL, PHILADELPHIA. In this view can be seen moving people, cars, horses and carriages, and it would be a novelty to those who never saw the twenty million dollar buildings, to gaze on that immense pile of marble whose statue can be seen from almost any point in Philadelphia, and in many cases several miles out in the country. These buildings are surrounded by the Philadelphia Mint, Pennsylvania Railroad station, Masonic Temple and numeroue stores and offices. PHILADELPHIA R. R. STATION. This is a very interesting scene, and wherever shown would be applauded. A popular subject. This picture shows the elevated railroad station in Philadelphia, on busy Market Street where every one is hurrying to and fro; dodging the numerous cars, wagons and bicycles. A very good picture. DELAWARE RIVER. This is one of the finest pictures in this line. You can see dozens of large boats passing up and down the river, and the name on each boat can be easily discerned. Dozens of tug boats, the Camden and Glouchester ferry boats, and the usual pleasure crafts plying between Philadelphia and different points, are objects of great interest tc the majority. DEDICATION OF WASHINGTON MONUMENT, PHILADELPHIA. This is one of the grandest pictures ever taken. As. the President of the United States was here to uuveil this magnificent monument, you can readily see how effective the reproduction of this picture would be.
