Scarlet and Blue Uniforms
Mingle at 37th Annual Ball

Victoria City Police Chief John Blackstock and Mts.

in the Crystal Ballroom of the Empress Hotel last

took over the policing of British Columbia, members
of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were well
represented, their scarlet tunics a dazzling color note
contrasting with the blue uniforms of the city police.

happiest police ball on record.
