This appears to be taken at the same time as:

"Ladies' 4-in-hand-club [Harriet Alexander driving] (LOC)" by library_of_congress

If so, this would be Harriet Alexander driving ("whip") -- and was likely taken in Central Park.

National Horse Show, Madison Square Garden, New York City, November 15, 1913. Orphans in a queue, waiting to get in. Hold your horses, boys and girls:

If so, this would be Harriet Alexander driving ("whip") -- and may very well be in Central Park.

query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9900EEDA173FE633A... indicates that May 8, 1913 will be the date for the garden party at the New York Zoological Society. "The Ladies Four-in-Hand Driving Club will have its race from the Colony Club to the Westchester Club on the same day and upon its return, it plans to stop at the park and join the party." A quick search of the NYT shows that Harriet Alexander was winning four-in-hand driving competitions for years.
