The first of the carrier pigeons that
were liberated from the upper station on
Sunday, May 18th, reached their loft in
Seymour, Conn.,, in two hours and fifteen
minutes from the time of their departure

never lost SO many birds as were lost in
this flight, and his record of New Jersey
is that more birds are MANNED and killed

of flights from other parts of the country.
| Bicyclers say they are perfectly willing
to obey the bicycle ordinance in every
particular but they want the borough
marshal to enforce law upon those people
who are throwing old tomato cans and

there are dozens of cans in the road that
the residents of that section cast into the
street. 1t is hoped Marshal Dlvison

nuisance abated.

two dozen are there. This is pleasant
for the boys, for there is not much fun
| in = flocking in corner by ones self" as
Dundreary says; but it is not pleasant for
the ladies who want their mail. Would
| it not be better to select some other place,
say GaZmer avenue, at the head of
Church street, where there is not so
much travel and where soon they will
have another fine road for wheeling?
Cycling is ii me sport but the riders should
I've careful not to make it obnoxious 10y
gathering in too large crowds in place
so public as the Postoffice. And while
we are talking, boys, be careful not to
do too much scorching " on Railroad
avenue, for someone may be hurt and
this will end the sport altogether. When
there is road race everyb body gives Way
with good nature, so don't kill a good
thing.
