Old friends of page 10 meet again, and our Man from Manhattan is still giving "Oppy" a hand. After Sir Hubert Opperman has spoken in English at the closing ceremony, Rene de Latour interprets at the microphone. Lady Opperman in patterned dress is just behind the Guest of Honour, and on the extreme left is Robert Lepertel, chief organiser of the 7th Paris-Brest-Paris Randonneur trial.

[Note: In this caption Wadley is referring back to the first article (called "Our Man From Manhattan") in Old Roads and New.]
