DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., May 11, 1869  The top of page 3 has nice column heads on the historic completion of the transcontinental railroad: "Latest By Telegraph" "The Pacific Railroads Joined" "Celebration Throughout the Land" "The Pacific Railroad" "The Last Spike Driven" followed by several reports on the ceremonies.
Great to have this report in a newspaper from the nation's capital.
Eight pages, large folio size, nice condition. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.
