Thanks a lot for sending us the photo. By enlarging it I am able to make out most of what is written below the photo but unfortunately there a few parts which I am not sure of. If you would be kind enough to send me the transcript and I will add the text underneath the picture.

Arriving at the CurAcho Sports by a ferry made from German Pontoons
captured during the Great War.

Many other flattering tributes have been received from leading racing
trainers, including Frank Hartigan, H. Lines, V. Tabor and W.
Nightingall -for Curacho is in two varieties - Human and Veterinary. A
fine tribute was also received from Mr Harry Andrews, the famous coach
to the British Olympic team in Paris last year. The home of Curacho is
in the beautiful Wye Valley and an accompanying illustration shows lhe
Curacho Annual Sports being held in the grounds of Courtfield Park, an
event which draws competitors from many parts of the country. The
directors of the Company are The Rt. Hon.The Lord Doune, M.C., Captain
F. Dance, M.B.E, (Managing Director), Major C. J. Vaughan,.O.B.E).,J.P.
(Chairman), and A. B. Murray, Esq. It is of interest that Lord Doune
and Captain Dance both served as A.D.C's to the Chief of the Air Force
in the Field during the War.
