The finest of all these pictures was one of the Empire State Express going at sixty miles speed. The train is seen coming out of a distant smoke cloud that, marks the beginning of a curve. The smoke puffs grow denser on the vision, and soon coach after coach whirrs to the front, and it seems as though the entire left-hand section of the house would soon be under the wheels that are racing for New-York. The cheers that greeted the picture and its repetition were as great as those for McKinley, and, in taking part in them, Mr. Daniels found his opportunity.
