One of the contestants in the latter event is a wagon bearing a pearly king and prince pulled by a donkey, the pearly prince's jacket reads 'Pride of Enfield'. Suitably officious looking judges decide the winners of the events, while the rosettes are trophies are presented by the Mayor of Edmonton, Councillor A. Tanner.

Delighted to see that this film has survived. At one time it was thought to be lost, and since I (the photographer) had no copy, I assumed that it had gone forever.
This event was a major one for Edmonton with a big attendance , and it attracted some notable riders . One being Alan Oliver riding Red Admiral. I think he won and is being presented with the first prize. I don't recall that it was ever repeated.
Unfortunately the film quality has suffered over the years, but it still makes for interesting viewing.
