About this Item

Broadside, 18.5 x 8.35", printed in blue ink. _____Printed on very thin, acidic and consequently extremely fragile paper. Sharply creased to horizontal fourths, all the folds have been reinforced on the rear._____ There is light edge fraying and two 1" chips and a few more smaller ones._____The bulk of the text is a timetable of various stops along the railroad to the event. _____Of greatest interest because of the line at the bottom announcing a baseball game consisting of the "Detroit Baseball Club vs. Metropolitans of Ft. Wayne / on Thursday, September 29th." _____The other events briefly noted include a "monster Cattle and Stock show." _____ No doubt for those Hoosiers destined for monster trucks.
