DescriptionOrnate horse-drawn circus wagons and men on horseback turn from State Street onto Main Street. Spectators crowd the sidewalks and the windows and ledges of buildings. Men in derby hats crowd the top of a horse-drawn omnibus or stagecoach in the foreground. A bucket and what appears to be a wine bottle in a woven container are also on the roof of the vehicle. Two men perch on a lamp pole near what appears to be a gaslight. Utility poles line the street. A large clock is on the right. Many commercial buildings have awnings. Some have signs that read: "State Bank" "Connecticut River Banking" "Geo. W. Moore / & Co. / Mortgage Loans."
