SOME PIGEON RECORDS

The entries to the national circuit race
meet which will be held at the Interna-
tional Athletic Park on Monday afternoon,
mmancing at o'clock, closed last even
ing. In all there are nearly fifty separate
entrants to the meet, and 1t is probable
that the number will be increased con-
siderably before the date of the meet. The
Morgan & Wright team of fourteen speedy
riders yet remain to be heard from, a tele-
gram received by Mr.. Gettinger several
days ago from Chicago announcing that
the entry blanks had been filled out for
the use of the Handicapped and mailed.
The officials of the meet have not as yet
been selected, AMI probably will not be
until Monday morning. The sale of tickets
to the meet has been most gratifying to
the projectors. The services Of Lee Rich

the country, has been engaged, and he
will perform during the races. The entries
