Plainfield's horse show, recorded here on June 5, 1908, centers on the ring master, the official who oversaw the arena and announced each class. Horse shows of that era were popular social events in towns across the Northeast, drawing spectators who came to watch riders and well-groomed horses compete. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by a New York news photo service that supplied pictures to newspapers. Its title came from the agency's negative and caption information and has not been independently verified, so treat the location and details as provisional.
