[New Haven, Connecticut], 1875. Fine. One short (one-inch) tear to left-hand margin, not affecting text; lacking original blue silken cord.. An elegantly produced unused dance card for the June 1875 Dedication Ball of Yale Crew's New Boat House. Hosted by S.C. Bushnell (Class of 1874), the ball was divided into three "parts" containing twenty-three waltzes, galops, quadrilles, and more, all to music performed by Adolph Bernstein's Orchestra of New York. Strauss, Offenbach, and Lecocq are the most played composers on the list. Folded card (4.75" by 3.75" folded, 9.5" by 3.75" unfolded), chromolithographed in gold, blue, and black. Fine printing.
