RG0056 R.N.W.M.P. SPORTS, REGINA
POSTCARD
Date: Posted November 24, 1908
Publisher / Photographer: Ridgely Calendar Co. Great Falls, Mont.
Notation: This image is from an early (1904-1908) Regina Fair.
The North West Mounted Police (NWMP) were formed in 1873 to maintain law & order in the early North West Territories - what now forms much of Alberta & Saskatchewan. Over time, their mandate expanded to additional geographical areas. In 1904, their name changed to the Royal North West Mounted Police (RNWMP) and, in 1920, they were renamed the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
Apparently the "Musical Ride" has outlasted or replaced sabre skirmishes as entertainment at public events.
Of particular interest in the image: This postcard was published by a Montana-based company.
