So many wild statements are
made as to the speed of a carrier
pigeon that it is interesting to
learn how fast ii can actually
travel under the most favorable
conditions. On a recent Saturday
between 100000 and 100000 birds
were tossed in competitions in
various parts of the country, and
some thousands of these feath-
cred athletes raced to London
from Retford and BranstOn, jour

lively. The conditions were ideal,
the weather was beautifully clear
and a fresh wind was blowing to
help the birds on their way; and
yet under such favorable circum.
stances few Of the birds attained
a speed of a mile a minute, which
in these days of quick locomotiOn
is beginning to be considered com
paratiyely slow, relates London
