Horseketball: 1908
Basketball on the tanbark at Durland's Riding Academy, New York. 1908. Evidently it's traveling if you let go of the reins. View full size. George Grantham Bain Collection. Check out how this pic looked before restoration.
Fire at Durland's
ne_time_now
IMDB lists a 3 minute movie "The Burning of Durland's Riding Academy" in the Edison catalog of the fire that occurred at Durland's Riding Academy, at Sixtieth Street and Eighth Avenue in 1902; The Durland fire (filmed by E. Porter) occurred on Manhattan's west side, but was later retitled Firemen Fighting the Flames at Paterson only because it was a more famous fire.
