What is the lettering on the sideboard or wagon at the far right? Looks like “C H &…” above and below “7 . . .”

That's probably a CB&Q steel body gondola on the far right, behind the SF cage by Bode with the Egyptian theme executed via the lotus blossoms, sphinxes, etc. That show had a number of exceptional looking cages, often painted with elaborate decorative schemes.

The 48-star flag came after the acceptance of Arizona into the union, February 14, 1912.
