Vanderbilia Question: The 1905 Vanderbilt Cup Race Program Guide
I was wondering if you could help steer me in the right direction. I was going through some items that had been given to me by a great grandparent. One item is the Official Score Card and Guide of the 2nd International Race for William K. Vanderbilt Jr. 1905. I wanted to learn more about the program. Thank You, Heather
