Instantaneous Photograph of the Trotting Horse Occident

A San Francisco photographer has taken a photograph of the celebrated horse Occident, when he was trotting at a speed of thirty-six feet per second, or a mile in two minutes twenty-seven seconds. The image of the horse was impressed upon the paper in less time than the one-thousandth part of a second. The spokes of the sulky attached to Occident were taken separately, so that they can be counted. This is certainly a wonderful triumph in photographing.
