Programme for the Orford Racing Club's Indian Ocean Meeting held on board the Orient Line's SS "Orford" on March 28 1930 and attended by the Australian cricketers who were travelling to England.

16.5 x 10cm. Single folding card. The race winners have been written in in pencil on the back of the card. Very good.
