Shots of various rides including swing boats, merry-go-round, galloping horses, etc Three girls link arms and do a little dance. The fair is likened to a human beehive. A couple hold on to each other on a moving cakewalk. Three girls throw balls at a coconut shy - this is seen in slow motion. M/S of the coconuts all lined up. “Uncle Sam sometimes thinks our amusements slow - so let's speed up a bit.“ Very fast footage of the crowds and the rides. “All through the day they go - into the dusk.
