GREAT LIBERATION OF HOMERS.

One of the greatest events in the hom;np
p geon fancy that has ever occurred in this
country will be the liberation of birds at
Hagerstown, Md, Wednesday. October II.
1t Will be the first event OF its kind in this
country, and considerable interest is being
manifested in 1t by all lovers of the sport.
Birds have been entered from New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington.
and it is expected 10000 birds will COM
pete in these races.
The details of the races are arranged by
the members of each city individually. ac-
cording to the conditions and circumstances
existing. The liberation will take place
from the center Of the fair grounds. The
New York birds. having the longest dis
tance. will be liberated first: then viii fol-
low the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington birds in the order named Birds will
be handled and governed by such rules as
shall be established to the satisfaction Of
the members OF the flight In the four cities
named. The secretary or superintendent In
each city will have charge Of the flight in
his jurisdiction. and will report the winners
to John II Cost, superintendent Of the
poultry and pigeon classes OF the Hagers-
town fair. The fair association will award
beautiful medal OF honor to the winner OF
first prize In each city. and also Diplomas
to the winners Of second and third places
These prizes will be awarded on authorizes

Every care and attention Ia guaranteed

the fight. and is very enthusiastic over the
outlook He is meeting with encoura cement
that promises to bring out q much larger
number of birds than was first anticipated.
He says to all fanciers:
he sure you make your entry early and
be In the race. All are welcome"
Preparations have been made for trial
lights and distances will be marked ac-
cording to the elevation of lofts. All bids
are eligible, whether banded with seamless
or open bands, and all will be counter
marked by the committee.
The affair will be important to all breed
ers and flyers of the aiestic homer and
too much Importance cannot be attached to
the event. The winning birds from each
city Will be the premiers of their kind and
the owners will have marveIs on which to
base future calculations, and establish pedi-
gree strains
1t Is game at which the best bird wins,
ana there is no mistaking this fact This
gives Importance to the work and makes it
doubly interesting.
Aside from the glory In the flight there is
another important feature that will be of a
decided advantage to the fancy That is
the great demonstration 1t Will be to thou

Had to Do 1t by Taking i'm Two BurIy
Thieves.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
There is only one girl in this world for
me- Is the motto a police sergeant at the
Harrison street police station kept in his
mind over two years. Had 1t not been for
the sergeants handsome features and his
bravery in capturing two desperate thugs
in Michigan avenue near 18th street who
had held up and robbed a saloon and were
making their escape in a carriage in the
avenue 1t is feared he would not now enjoy
calling his .only girl his wife. But such
Is the case. 1t was very hot day that the
sergeant and his "only one girl" as he
termed her. were walking along Michigan
avenue. He had just proposed to her and
had been rejected. He was downhearteu,
as he had staked his life that he would not
be Tilted, as he termed it. But his heart
gave bound when shot rang out and
carriage attached to two maddened horses
being lashed by their driver came tearing
north in the avenue and pursued by a po-
liceman.
''Oh, Jim," said the frightened girl, pro
tect mel" Giving the girl squeeze and
telling her to be brave, the handsome SER
geant drew his revolver and leaped into the
street In front of the fast approaching car
riage. Grabbng the bride of one horse, the
sergeant hung on for dear lire. while his
sweetheart. who had almost shunneu him
before. began to cry, Jim. don't get hurt.
for l love YOU just as the girl uttered
the WordS the roDDerS IN the carriage
leaped out of the vehicle. AS they were
about to make their escape they were con-
fronted by the brave jim, who held his re-
volver at their heads and made them sur
render This they did in a hurry when
they caught sight Of the revolver.
That evening Jim called again at the
home Of his sweetheart and was accepted
by the girl. Six months later they were
married. and now very often the sergeant's
"only one girl In this world will tell ner
handsome husband of the bravery he
showed In capturing the robbers. and she
makes him happy by telling him that when
he captured the bold criminals he also cap
