While sorting the photo archives yesterday I found some really interesting material. There were horse cart races near West Cliff and a motorcycle race near Ocean Street. The horse cart races happened around the turn of the century. It's hard to tell when the motorcycle races happened. Possibly during the 1930's.

I also found photos of a buffalo and a bear. These animals were part of a zoo that was kept at the De Laveaga Park. It seems that the zoo only lasted until the 1920s.

I've also been finding some awesome beauty pageant photos. These photos go up to the 1930s. It was amazing to find that these women looked very "average" by today's standards.
