Biography: 

These "two Negro boys" work on the Harriss plantation and "lay the trail of torn paper from one jump to the next" for the steeplechase (165). (The context makes it seem likely that these are men rather than "boys," and that that word should be understood as an example of how the Jim Crow culture used stereotypical language to demean black men.)

Note: 
CUT: , and then the men (one in a red coat, with a brass horn) and the women in the pants and boots on the thousand-dollar horses riding it” (165).
