Many shots of people "Young and old," "Black and white," "When it rained."
"There were many overpasses of great beauty and design."
Lots of flowers.
"In the Court of Peace were held most of the Fair's notable gatherings."
"Irene Castle Day." - lots of dancing.
"Scotch lassies from Canada." - pipes and drums.
"Costumes of many kinds."
Archery range.
Detroit Tigers Baseball School.
Some demonstraion with wacky Trylon & Perisphere microphones (I think).
"Stands for food and everything else."
Musicians - guy playing trombone with his nose!
Cane stand, food stand, souvenir stand, "Guess Your Age."
"Arizona Day" - musicians outside Arizona's Pavilion, fancy cowgirls, lasso tricks
