Crowds lining the street watch a parade with police in uniform at the front and men on horses behind. Awnings are unfurled on the sunny left of the photo, a flag hangs at the far left, signs can be seen on the fronts of several buildings, and telephone poles line the left side of the street. Carriages are parked at the side, and trolley tracks run down the middle of the street.
