Abstract: Motion photography had its inception in an effort to solve a scientific controversy—for Muybridge made his epochmarking trotting-horse pictures in an effort to determine the nature of the horse's leg-movements. It is also true that the pictures were made in order to settle a bet—but discussion of that phase of the subject must be left to some devotee of Lady Luck who may in the future present before this body a learned dissertation upon “Motion Pictures as first-aid to the Gambler; or African Golf—in seven parts.”
