The aristocracy of
the famous old Cariboo Road turned out in best “bib and tucker
“last month in Clinton for the sixty-sixth annual Clinton ball.
This event, held annually since 1868, is the social outing for
the year, and many old Cariboo friendships and acquaintances
are renewed only at such gatherings. Guests come from far and
near, by train, automobile, sleighs, horseback and on foot.
An unusually heavy fall of snow, which was followed by a Chinook
made traveling difficult. Fourteen cars from Lillooet were unable
to get through. All those arriving from the North came on horseback
or train. Cars got through the road from Ashcroft, but snow-choked
roads held up Kamloops and Savonna parties.
