This item is an official programme from the Niagara Falls Racing Association, dated circa June 3, 1887, though the catalog notes that the date comes from an unverified shelflist card. Racing programmes of this period listed the day's races, entrants, and conditions, and they offer a glimpse of the sporting entertainment that drew visitors to a town already famous as a tourist destination. Because the record gives little else, the programme is best read as a window onto leisure life in the 1880s, when organized racing was a popular public amusement.
