The Galloping Garratt.

You will hear the full-throated “tally-ho” of a galloping Garratt, beating the wind down the straight; you will thrill to the soprano of an A.B. trilling like Galli Curci to her audience awaiting on the platform, with all the anticipatory emotions appropriate to these palpitating moments.

You will appreciate the tuneful humming of escaping steam emanating from some powerful black bass-tenor, relaxing momentarily at a water tank. The whoop of a speeding baritone greeting a tunnel, the sentimental salvo of sound emitted by a goods engine as he patters along the rails on a moonlight night, and the comic items rendered by the little “black-face comedians” on festive occasions and days of national rejoicing will gladden your ears.
