    Caption: "Potato Race - July 4, 1917." Several horseback riders holding long poles skirmish in what appears to be a game similar to polo, played with a potato. A crowd has gathered to watch the game, while the rock cliff walls of Yosemite Valley tower in the background. Given the date, this was likely part of Independence Day festivities in the Yosemite Valley.

    Date: 7/4/1917
