A fellow places a poster on a fence advertising a great event, in the form of a push cart race, and when the people of the town read the announcement they hasten away to procure their wagons and enter the race to compete for the coveted prize. The next picture shows the starting line and every sort of a push cart and perambulator is entered and ready for the bottle. When the signal for the start is given, away they trot down the street at a terrific rate and bump into everything that happens to be in the way, clearing the path like a cyclone. At one place along the course they run into a nurse maid who is pushing a perambulator and upset the entire outfit. As soon as she regains her equilibrium, however, she also joins in the race and is one of the most excited competitors. Next we see the leader dash through an obstruction in the street, clearing the way for his followers. They then pass a building in the course of construction and carry away the scaffolding as they hurry along. Finally we see them coming down the home stretch, and the aforesaid nurse maid leads by a good many lengths, but the rest of the contestants protest when the prize is about to be awarded to her, so it ends with a free-for-all fight.
