An allegorical statue showing the speed of communication is Speed by Joseph Reiner. Placed in the Court of Communications the statue features a speeding horse with wings ridden by a muscular rider. The decoration on the building in the background looks like the Cowan Pottery Jazz Bowl.
All of the sculptures at the Fair were very popular photo subjects; when I buy bunches of tiny snapshots, most of them are pictures of the sculptures. This one looks like an especially elaborate hood ornament!
