This panel shows several spectators standing in clusters, looking at a balancing act exhibit in progress.

A 'Country Store' booth is in the foreground, a large and empty Ferris wheel is behind that, and exhibit booths are visible in the background. This carnival opened on May 16, 1904, and would be held for two weeks at this location.; This is panel 4 of 4 single panels giving a panoramic view of the carnival.
