I think this is a test match on 20th of May 1932 at the Buffalo Stadium(named after Buffalo Bill) at Montrouge, Paris This was about 4 miles from the centre of the French Capital.

There were three teams which had one rider each. They were Ray Tauser(Usa) , Jack Parker (England) and Charles Belissent (France) who rode for West Ham as well.

The meeting consisted of 5 races with the 3 riders. Jack Parker won three of the races and Ray Tauser won the other two. The track was 382 metres
