Description

May 24, 1862, The British Columbian (Newspaper); New Westminster, BC.

An article regarding the Queen's Birthday celebrations of that year: 

"Programme for To-Day- One gun when the king of day peeps over the snow caped peaks of the Cascade rage, the signal for the ringing of the church bells. A Royal Salute at 12 o'clock, during which the bells will ring, and one gun when the sun dips in the waters of the great Pacific, at which the bells will again ring. On the cricket ground a match will come off between the Military and Civilians, commencing at 11 o'clock. In addition to these there will also be canoe and boat races, Quoits and base ball, foot ball and other games and amusements too numerous to mention."
