- A somewhat damaged, glossy black and white mounted photograph showing the smartly turned out and decorated two horse team and wagon of H.T. Reason and Company, whose sign appears on the right front of this covered wagon. A single driver framed by the floral garland on the roofline above his head, proudly shows off his rig. Small flags fixed into the harness and more flowers adorn the horses. In the right background a couple holding an umbrella look on with other spectators in front of the grandstand at the Queen's Park Exhibition Grounds.
- Notes
