Banner line poles appear to be closely spaced, plenty
of stakes to drive.
And rather then flags they are surmounted by fence post
knobs.

The style of ticket wagon shown here was with B&B prior to the European tour. They were transfered to BBWW for 1898. Two lower profile ticket wagons went with B&B to Europe. So this proto is 1897 or earlier.

Notice how well everyone is dressed
coats, hats and umbrellas to keep the sun off. From the shadows, I deduce that it is well into summer and it must have been hotter than blazes. My, how times have changed.
