Gala Day in Keremeos Amid Wind and Delays
Victoria Day events in Keremeos drew a large crowd despite tempestuous wind and cold. Hedley, Princeton, Fairview, Penticton, and Okanagan sources were represented as Great Northern brought attendees from Oroville and Nighthawk. Baseball featured Hedley, Nighthawk, and Oroville with results 4–2, 9–1, and 5–2, while trap shooting saw Hedley lead with 0.33 of a hundred, Fairview second, Keremeos third. Organizing delays hindered the programme, and horse racing lacked contestant clarity. A watch horse race between R. J. Armstrong and J. Thomas was won by the latter.
