A racing ground titled "Cleveland Race Track" is the subject here, though the record's title comes from unverified notes written by the Bain News Service and the image is undated. The Bain News Service was a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of current events, and its glass negatives record a wide range of American life in the early twentieth century. Racing scenes like this one show the crowds, horses and grounds that drew large audiences to tracks at the time. Because the caption is uncertain, the exact location and year are worth checking against other sources before relying on them.
