imca, 1926

Very terse statement in the Calgary Herald concerning the lack of racing at the annual Stampede. I think (it's been a long time) I looked at other prairie papers from the summer of 1926 with nothing to report.

Only a few dates at Toronto's Canadian National Exhibition. And right now I can't find that scrapbook. So just the results, such as they are:
