Very cool.......I hate snakes......
Great shot! These are Chicago Gartersnakes, Thamnophis sirtalis semifasciatus, a variety of snake found only around Chicago. The two on top are males, and the large one on the bottom is the female.
With many males competing only one will be successful.

I am a bit skeptic about this statement;' "at a time", only one will be successful' - is valid for any mating, i suppose...does this mean once a pair is made others leave? (actually this is a doubt)

The above link didn't work but I did research it and read the same thing as stated before that the female will mate with one and only one male even though she may have a hundred or more suitors. Wish the link would work but a bit of research will find it.
