    This program focuses on the 2nd performance on June 24th which includes:

    Symphonic Episode- "Hail, California!"
    Exposition Orchestra, Sousa's Band and Organ

    There is an detailed introduction of the performance and for each piece there is a detailed explanation. Quite a rare find and I have not been able to find another example of this online. Although the open edges have a crease, the booklet is overall still in excellent shape given it being printed on thin paper 106 years ago! A must have for fans of
    Saint-
    Saëns and the PPIE!
