After tomorrow's meet at Oxford the groups journeys to Birmingham. England for a runoff on June 15. The track and field at Edinburgh. Scotland, is the next destination and finally the team flies to Dublin, Ireland, to challenge the thinclads from the Emerald Isle...
...away for a day at New York's Aqueduct race track to check up with the trainer of his five horses there and get his colors registered.

Moreau's own work was rich in homosexual...
