Notes
[Mr. Stuckey put 3 negatives in the same envelope, numbering them AH6b, AH6c, and AH6d. We have separated them, keeping his original numbering. We suspect that all three negatives display Brandon lacrosse teams, although negatives AH6b and AH6d are not identified as such.]

According to the Brandon Daily Sun (07 May 1913), the first three street cars (Nos. 10, 9, and 7) arrived in Brandon on the evening of May 6, 1913.
