There has been pigeou-fying race In
England, from Dover, on the south coast Of
London. The pigeons were tossed up at stpu-
lated periods at intervals of five minutes, and
: ON their arrival home we're produced at South
wark Bridge, London. The bird found to have
- accomplished the journey in the least time was
declared to be the wilmer. The quickest
pigeon performed the route in two hours aud
six minutes, the second pigeon occupied two
hours and eleven minutes, and two other birds
& rame the distance in two and quarter hours.
The distance is about eighty miles, and the win
ming pigeon must have flown at the rate OF one
mile in one and half minutes. The weather
vas hazy and the air heavy, and dr1zzllng
rain impeded the progress of the pigeons.
