One of the wagons is filled with people and a huge bass fiddle. Man in a top hat side by side with man in a stetson. Lots of people on horseback go by camera. A crowd rushes straight toward the camera. A lone man on a pennyfarthing bicycle. CU of running feet, horse's legs and wagon wheels. Lots of horses feet. DS on more bass fiddle and people running.
