Fourth of July Mule Race, 1910

Unlike the other photos in this series that show large crowds and excitement, this photo of Cass street with Benton street buildings in the background seems faded and dull. The street is nearly empty of spectators and only 3 mules are shown in the race. Horse buggies are parked on the square side of the street.The man in the center of the street is Jack Darrall [per Mildred Persson Luallen]
