THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSIMY, JANUARY 26th, 1928 Banff Winter Carnival Will Be Colorful Event , the capital ol Canada's Na-" tional Park of that name, is known to the world as one of the most beautiful and fascinating of summer resorts. It is, however, not generally known that Banff in winter is equally delightful, and that many people prefer it at this season, especially during its Carnival Week. The dates for this colorful event are February 4-11. The town is always a blaze of colored lights; Indian tepees are at intervals along the main street, for the Stoneys also take part in Winter's pageant. Fireworks gleam on the Ice Palace, from which many events will start. They move quickly and are kaleidoscopic in color and swiftness, sports are varied and masquerades are an additional excuse for more excitement and hilarity. There are many competitions in all lines of sports during Carnival Week, and even sportsmen will have their fun, for trap7shooting is on the programme as the Banff Gun Club holds its annual competition at this time. Another novel event for a Winter Carnival is packing, making and breaking camp, and also the famous diamond hitch is staged by members of the Rocky Mountain Guides Association, who evidently are not afraid of rivals during tin next annual meet of the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies. Skiing is possibly the most popular sport, and the country affords all that could be desired. There are competitions in ski-jumping for professionals, amateurs and young boys; ski-racing ski-joring races, snow-shoe races and novelty events. ------BANFF Hockey, Canada's great nat: game, is one of the drawing c of the Carnival. Teams come all parts of the West to com as many clubs enter for the s and figure skating; among t the Winnipeg Skating Club. Banff Dog Derby is one of the standing events which should mentioned.
