Kaffirs are seen carrying ties for the road- bed of the railroad track building. An announcement is thrown on the sheet that the world's record of laying a mile of track in 60 minutes has been made on the African road, and presumably the audience is to see the deed done. After the colored workmen have carried about ten rails to be laid, making the beginning of the mile only, the comical looking fellow who at the instigation of the Alhambra biograph says "Good-night" broke up the seance, spoiling what might have been an excellent film.
