THE PIGEONS LIBERATED.
Uoming Birds of the Le-sburg Flying Club
Reach Their Lofts.


The twenty one homing- pigeons sent to
the Baltimore Sun from Leesburg, Va.
were liberated yesterday just as the time

fell 10 indicate the hour of noon. They
reached Leesburg at 3 o'clock In scat
tering order The distance Is 81 miles,
and the time was slow.
With the birds of the Leesburg Flying
Club, the Naval-Academy homer. which
was captured on a bay schooner WedneS-
day, was set at liberty.
Before u o'clock the large, fiat basket
containing the pigeons was carried 10 the
roof of the Sun building and unlocked, 30
that the cover could be instantly raised.
Five OF the intelligent birds made ready
for the fly at once, and crouched at the
edge OF the basket, ready 10 spring into
the air. The City Hall bell sounded two
strokes, then the time-ball fell, and the
lid was quickly raised. when. with a
roar and u iutter, the birds burst forth
and dashed northward on a Decline for

their destination was properly west by

Nayal-Academy homer, made a sudden
and ludicrous break from the rest, turned
sharply around, and dashed OFF on a
straight line toward Annapolis.
The air was slightly hazy. and this
probably accounted for the slow time
made. That the main flock flew toward
the northwest was probably due TO their
desire 10 reach section where the air
WAS not made thicker by the smoke OF
