Thanks for the shot, Les, never seen it before, but I've got my doubts about whether it shows the opening of the electric tram service. The original Hippodrome was built in 1903 and burned down in 1908. However, the opening ceremony for the electric tram service took place on August 2nd, 1907, so the original Hippodrome would still have been standing then.
