Tuesday May 16, 1922. Show and Work.

The National Horse Show, which still occurs, but which was then very much a major deal and becoming a bigger one, continued on.

Miss Alisa Mellon at the National Horse Show, May 16, 1922.  Mellon was the daughter of banker Andrew Mellon.  I think the interesting thing about this photograph is not so much Mellon, but the black gentleman in the background who is obviously employed in some laboring connection with the activities.  Note also the black man in the back driving a carriage.
