Prince Rupert Welcomes Royal Party With Band Contests
The royal party arrived aboard Princess Alice in Prince Rupert last Monday amid a harbor procession of flag bedecked boats and salutes. Seven northern bands including Skidegate and Kitkatla competed, with Skidegate winning first prize and Port Simpson taking the grand match. The visit featured prize presentations by the Duke of Connaught, a royal luncheon, motor tour, and a massed band finale on the Government wharf.
