DescriptionElevated view of a crowd of men and women near a dirt racetrack. Some carry umbrellas. A grandstand is at the right with an observation tower opposite it. An American flag flies from the tower. A sign on one of the tents in the foreground reads: "...Cigars / ...Union Label / [on] Every Box." Horse-drawn vehicles are in the background, beyond the track. Fences or stone walls are visible on the hills in the distance.
