Spectators stand on the sidewalk and watch the spectacle. In the background, a two-story, wood-frame building is in the middle of the street in the center of an intersection. One and two-story commercial storefronts are on both sides of the street. Signs: "Hudson & Morris Wholesale Liquor Dealers Agents - Val.
