Eventless fair footage really, except for the last couple of minutes for the train collision. For the first third we see cows and horses on parade!! Big whoopeedoo. Then some horse races.. Zzzz Then some curious car shenanigans.. what was happening? Hmmm.. Finally, the train crashes, and its great to watch two steam trains colliding for the purpose of entertaining the crowds! Huzzah!!!

Interesting view of almost 100 years ago, print is in fairly good condition, but be advised there is no sound on the version I saw. The train crash made me cringe, my guess it was either crash or be broken up for scrap metal.

This 1913 film shows us scenes of the California State Fair. Mostly it involves parades and races along a very muddy track. The highlight of the film is a 90 mph crash of two trains. It's fairly spectacular footage, but the point of all of it is not given. Still, I guess it tells you how folks in 1913 amused themselves. The print of this is in very nice condition. A 1913 Vistamont film.
