Montreal, 1912


A question came up about early racing in Montreal. While I have looked at a few races there back in 1918 I've just come across one in 1912. Louis Disbrow and Bill Endicott headed a traveling group of racers that spent three days racing at Montreal's Delorimier Park.

some early racing from the Oregonian

Found a reasonable source for the Oregonian newspaper. Wish it went much further in years but I'm still mining what it has to offer.

From 1912, the first day of a two-day meet.
