A group of men wearing turbans and robes rides horses down a dirt street during a parade for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. The men are members of "Buffalo Bill's Congress of Rough Riders of the World." One man in front of the group carries a large, dark flag with a half moon on it. A group of young boys sits on the top rail of a fence in the left midground. Additional spectators stand along the road. A water tower is in the background behind a large buiding.
