Children on the banking, Paris firefighters on the parallel bars, and World Middleweight Boxing Champion Marcel Thil beating cyclists... all part of the 1934 end-of-season celebrations at the Buffalo velodrome in Paris.
Clockwise, from the top left: exhibition by Paris firefighters; track stars Albert Richter and Jef Scherens in difficulty at the start of the donkey-cart event; race for former Pros (won by Georges Sérès, Sr. - 2nd from right); Marcel Thil leads in the donkey-carts race; riders go five-wide during the children's track race.
