ROYAL BIRD-FLYERS.
Prince of Wales and His Son Inter-
ested in Pigeon Racing.


ested in Pigeon Racing.
London Star
Over 100 we'll trained racing pigeons
are flying from Thursoo to their homes
in England and Belgium, in competition
for good prizes.
Since the Star announced that the win
ner of the recent Lerwick race was none
other than the Prince of Wales,
no end of people have begun to take an
interest in the popular pastime of pigeon
racing. Every one will wish the royal
sportsman good luck today, for he has
entered his pigeons again, and under his
own name.
Four out of the twenty-six competing
English pigeons are owned by the prince,
and two by the Duke of York. The pres
ence of as many as twenty-siX Belgian
birds is explained by the fact that Mr..
Logan, NJ. P, has offered a special prize
of $50 for the best record made by a
Belgian pigeon in the race.
For years the Duke Of York has shown
his interest in pigeon racing. He has
entered birds under his own name many
times, and is now president of the Ma
tionaF Flying club. which IS promoting
today's race. AS a pigeon fancier and
flyer he is probably strongly opposed to
the so-called sport of pigeon shooting.
If his royal father Will follow his ex-
ample they may set fashion which VIII
encourage a healthy pastime at the ex-
pense of a cruel diversion.

The open letter by Gov. Lind, in re-
ply to certain statements contained in
an editorial which appeared a few days
ago in St Paul newspaper, was the
subject of some discussion among the
Minneapolis elevator and grain commits
sion men yesterday.
The editorial referred to was in the ma
ture of an attack upon the governor IN
connection with recent changes made by
him in the grain inspection department.
The allegation was made that in conse-
quence of the action of the executive
much damage would be inflicted upon the
interests of the state in that the high
standard of wheat prevailing was in dan
ger Of impairment, because of the cas-
sumed liberality of the new chief and his
assistants in the fixing of the grades.
The opinion expressed by chamber of
commerce members and others identified
with the grain interests of the state was
practically unanimous that the editorial
mentioned, and which bore the caption,
political Wheat Inspection" was in the
nature Of an utterance of a cry before
the hurt was inflicted.
TIE fact of the matter is the new sys
TEN of wheat inspection. under the
amended law providing for the creation
of d board of appeals, is regarded with
much favor by traders in wheat general
ly, and it is asserted with great positive
ness that thus far nothing in the form of
complaint as to the grading of wheat by
the new officials has been heard from any
source
TO begin with. the receipts of new
wheat, it is said, have been comparative
Iy so limited in volume that little or no
cism, even if any ground therefor existed.
In the second place it is held that, with
the exception of the retirement of Chief
Inspector Clausen and the substitution
OF single inspector for one retired by the
new chief, Mr.. ReschFIs, no changes have
been made in the force which has so long
been charged with the duty of grading.
In the third place the new chief has made
an excellent impression upon the grain
commission men. both with respect to
his capacity and his sense of fairness.
And supplementary to everything else,
the judgment prevails that the board Of
appeals appointed by Gov. Lind is proba-
bly, as efficient a body of officials as it is
possible for an executive to select, who
is ebliged to make choice from among
those who are more or less identified with
the political workers of the state.
c. A. Pillsbury. when seen yesterday
and asked for an expression of his views
upon the question, declared that he had
no time to give an interview and that he
did not see that Gov. Lind's letter called

said to be in favor of the establishment
of a union station, but do not want it

the Northern Pacific. The latter road
has recently purchased large tracts OF
