- The film is of the third annual parade of the Road Drivers Association of New York. A procession of fine horses and fashionable carriages move along the Harlem River Speedway, in the Highbridge section of northern Manhattan. The view is from the Manhattan side of the river looking north. On the right is the Harlem River and on the opposite bank, the Bronx. Prominent in the background is the High Bridge at 175th Street. Beyond the High Bridge is the Washington Bridge at 181st Street. The "Speedway" was opened in 1898 exclusively for the running of horses and light carriages and was a popular destination for racing.
