Concerning its iirst presentation there, the "Herald" said;—"lt is of much educational as well as spectacular interest. The production was carried out on an elaborate scale, and at the same time strict attention was paid to the minutest detail. This resulted in a practically exact repetition of tie great battle, wlnh the reality was heighten* ed by the close resemblance. of the leading actors to tho original?, The sight of tho thousands of infantry and charging cavalry, set amidst the srooko from tho batteries, is well calculated to in-

spire the atulipncc with patriotio feelings. The story of the battle was ably described during its unfolding by Mr> Barrio Marschel, and the picture was greeted with enthusiastic _ applause."
