One thing I omitted last post was a Dominion Day (July 1st) "aerial event" at Minoru Park. This involved Harry Hooper in the "Vulcan Kewpie" Stutz, owned by the Vulcan Ironworks (J.R. Duncan) racing an aeroplane for two miles.
Harry had done this before in 1916 at Hastings Park. (I seemed to have missed including that in my early Vancouver history. I'll have to remedy that shortly.) He lost then to his aeroplane competition and he again lost to the aeroplane in 1919. He did win a regular race against a Cadillac.
