- This scene shows the arrival at a station, and passengers alighting from and boarding the train, together with the usual bustling activity of the baggage men.
- Walking four abreast, in groups of six rows, 144 of Chicago's finest parade past a stationary camera. Each of the six groups that pass is escorted by an officer. All are men, all are white, all look tall, all wear identical high-buttoned uniforms and badges and carry a nightstick. Almost all sport mustaches. Behind the police comes a horse-drawn carriage.
- In the Chicago stockyards, the gates of a pen of long-horn cattle are open and the cattle are being herded out by several cowhands, at least two of whom have poles to keep the steers moving in the right direction. The cattle come toward the stationary camera, which is mounted above their path. They proceed under, toward a destination we do not see. There are probably 50 head in the lot. When the last has left, a solitary cowhand surveys the empty pen. Over the fence behind him stand two other cowboys.
- "Shows a large flock of sheep being driven from the cars to the slaughter house."
- "The busiest corner in Chicago. Cable cars and street traffic of all descriptions. Hundreds of shoppers. Fine perspective view looking north toward the Masonic Temple."
- At the Armour & Co. Chicago yard. Two railroad tracks dominate the center and right half of the frame as we look down about 40 meters where an overpass crosses. Along the left beside the tracks is a nondescript industrial building. Men are standing between the building and the tracks as an engine slowly approaches the foreground. A man crosses just in front of it. It moves slowly past, the engine pulling 15 or 20 small cars. The first set of cars behind the small engine are flatcars, loaded with goods, three workmen riding with them. The back set are small boxcars, each riding on one set of wheels. The trolley passes.
- "7th Regiment, Illinois National Guard; State Street, Chicago."
- "Taken in the yards of Swift & Co. Some of the delivery wagons are seen leaving the stores, and as one of them goes out, a thief skillfully abstracts a ham from the back end of the cart. He is seen, however, by the watchman of the yard, and after a short pursuit is captured and arrested."
- "A scene in Swift & Co.'s stock-yard, showing the stock-yard 'matadors' amusing themselves with a wild steer."
- "This is an arranged scene worked out very effectively. At its opening two rowdies are seen engaged in a street fight. A crowd collects, and a policeman with difficulty separates the combatants. They are quickly subdued, however, and a police patrol dashes up, and into it the two prisoners are bundled and carried off."
- "A view in front of one of the big department stores on State Street".
- "A marching picture in which many notables in the regular Democratic organization of Chicago appear."
- "This is a rather unusual railroad picture in that it is taken from the front of one moving train while five other trains, all under rapid headway, go through the picture on different tracks."
- Footage of a parade in Chicago of Union Army veterans of the American Civil War.
- Taken from an automobile, showing the most beautiful part of the park, in the vicinity of the Lincoln statue.
- Shows a fine view of the ceremonies of the corner stone laying of the new Chicago Post Office on Chicago Day, October 9th. This view is a very fine picture of President McKinley and the entire Cabinet and Diplomatic Corps.
- Chicago's finest out on parade; 2,400 strong, 3 full military bands; shows all the great leaders in front; fine body of drilled men, most of whom are over six feet; all in command of that great Chief of Police, Joe Ripley. This picture also shows the famous Police Artillery and Ambulance Corps.

- These three films [with LAFAYETTE POST OF NEW YORK and LAMBS POST OF PHILA.] were taken at the encampent of the G.A.R. in Chicago, 1901. They can be used as one complete series or run separately. They form the three leading features of the G.A.R. parade the first owing to the fact it held the post of honor, the second because it was the largest and best dressed, and the latter because it created a great deal of comment owing to the fact that it was headed by a little lamb led by a beautiful child in white. This was the finest G.A.R. parade ever held and pictures from it are of more than ordinary interest, for the veterans will never again congregate in such numbers or engage in such an extended parade as upon this occasion.
- This film was taken at the great Chicago encampment of the G.A.R., 1901. All agree that outside of the veterans themselves no point of interest compared to the grand Court of Honor extending for one mile. A special permit was obtained, the street was cleared and our artist succeeded in obtaining, from a rapidly moving automobile, a panorama of the entire Court on both sides of the street, presenting a picture of unsurpassed beauty, and one which will be of interest in G.A.R. circles to the end of time. This is the only picture in existence of the entire Court of Honor.
