- The title tells us where we are; the vignette is in two parts, spliced together. On a busy sidewalk, a police officer holds the left arm and a suited man holds the other of a Chinese wearing a loose white shirt and hat - marching the man up the slight incline past the camera. He protests a bit. Behind them trail a dozen people and about 10 more onlookers watch. Jump to shot two: from the side, we see an open paddy wagon, the arrested man sits with his back to us, the two who arrested him sit across. Two horses pull the wagon in a turn and it heads up the street, with two more men riding on the back running board: one is in uniform, the other waves his hat and smiles to the camera.
- "[By the Leander Sisters.] The dress of one consists of a pair of wings and a bow and arrow; the other represents a fairy. Bathers in all stages of dress and undress watch the graceful dance."
- "Shows a party of tourists at this famous resort; located in Monterey, Cal., on the Southern Pacific Railroad. The magnificence of its surroundings is clearly shown."
- "The main feature is the toboggan slide. Some sit down while others lie down, either head or feet first."
- "Shows a life boat coming through the breakers. The surf is high and the stout boat is tossed about like a cork."
- "The water breaks over the rocks, and is dashed into silvery spray, high in to the air. Exceptionally fine water effects."
- "The view shows an immense arch in the background through which are seen coming groups of students, some walking, others on bicycles. The ivy covered walls of the building form the background to a pleasing picture."
- "The scene opens with the opening of the boat-house door, followed by the boat speeding down a runway into the water. The sailors, with oars pointing upward, and the splashing waters, are clearly reproduced, making an interesting scene."
- "Taken at Fisherman's Wharf. The crews are engaged in mending nets, arranging lines, etc., all of which lend action to the view. The figures are clear and life size, and the scene is truthfully reproduced."
- One of the sights of San Francisco. A 50-foot slide is used by the bathers, who toboggan down its slippery surface in all positions. The bathers are clad in black trunks, making fine contrast with the flesh tints.
- "A clever characteristic dance called the 'Yellow Kid.' Very unique. Stage is in the Sutro Baths, San Francisco, Cal., and the audience is composed largely of bathers."
- "Daily practice of life boat crew, showing boat being upset purposely by the men. As these boats are self-righting and self-bailing, the scene is particularly interesting."
- "Taken on the S.P. Railroad, near tunnel No. 9. The train comes rushing out of the tunnel and passes at full speed. Two engines, a baggage, a mail and nine coaches. Great volumes of black smoke follow the train out of the mouth of the tunnel."
- "Another view in which the figures show larger. A springboard furnishes the bathers with much amusement; also a toboggan slide."
- "The famous Seal Rocks at Golden Gate Park are here shown. Sea lions in their wild state are lying on the rocks and swimming and diving in the water."
- A line is shot to the man clinging to the overturned boat. He fastens it to his body using all his fast failing strength. The crew pull him through the surf to the shore, where he is rolled and patted and worked over until resuscitated.
- "San Diego Beach, Hotel del Coronado. A pug dog, several terriers and water spaniels and a great St. Bernard are dashing into the water, retrieving sticks thrown by their master."
- The S.S. Australia departs from San Francisco Bay, carrying American soldiers to the Philippines.
- "On the way to San[ta] Monica, Cal., the train approaches, runs through and emerges from a tunnel. Train passes in opposite direction. Camera is at front end of train, giving a very novel view."
- "Various equipages pass, including a tally-ho and six white horses. A peculiar, open-end trolley car comes along; bicycle riders and pedestrians."
- "The large war vessel slides slowly down the ways, stern first. Rowboats in the foreground rock violently in the swell. One boat upsets."
- "Taken on 'Lucky' Baldwin's ranch, Santa Anita, Cal. Shows an engine and five cars approaching from a distance."
- "Taken on the line of the Mt. Tamalpais scenic railroad, Marin county, California, from a flat car following the engine. On the front end of the flat car is seen some tourists, and also a brakeman who from time to time sets up or loosens the brakes as the grades demand. In the background is a panoramic view of the hills and valleys appear as the train ascends the mountain. The engine which draws the car from which our picture is taken, is plainly seen at different points of the film and takes up all the foreground. The working of the piston rods and revolving of the wheels are distinctly shown and the effect is very pleasing."
- "This picture was taken on the line of the Mt. Tamalpais Scene R.R., and whereas the previous views were taken ascending, this is a descending view, the camera being placed on the front end of the train which follows another train consisting of two passengers coaches and an engine. The trains run down very steep grades and around numerous curves. The background constantly changes; in some instances by mountains looming up in the distance and in still other cases by valleys with clouds in the extreme background. The background in this picture is very beautiful, in some instances white rocks showing, in others dark jagged rocks and in still others, trees and underbrush. The film is exceptionally good from a photographic standpoint and the constant changing of views makes it a subject of unusual interest, holding in its field during the entire length, the picture of the second train descending the mountains. The light and shadow effects are exceptionally fine and the foliage of the trees stands out clear and distinct. Sold complete or in separate lengths."
