Daily official program for the World's Fair or Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis on July 12, 1904, which played host to that year's Olympic Games, 16 pages, 6 x 9, providing schedules and descriptions of the day's diverse events, which includes: “U. S. Government Indian School Program,” “U.S. Life Savers Drill,” “Osteopathic Day, Public Exercises,” and more. On the final page, “Future Events as Set by Committee on Ceremonies,” the Olympic Basketball Championships are listed as being set for July 11 and 12; curiously it’s not part of the program’s “Order of the Day” section. Several pages bear ownership notations. In very good to fine condition, with light staining to the covers, and edgewear and creases.
