birds, and other fanciers had some of
their crack birds in the lists. So far,
Mr.. May has been the only one to hear
from his entries and five Of the nineteen
are still missing. Hot Shot, strong,
experienced flyer, returned about 10 am.
yesterday, exhausted. Reliance, another
strong bird, came in later, and the other
arrivals came dragging in thru the day.
All showed the effects of the hard flight
and were thoroly exhausted. .s
The storm came from the east, the
worst possible direction as the birds
were flying northeast. The younger

and if not killed or caught will surely

In this way the academic department,

The council was created so as to, do
when general university affairs come

there is no general gathering. For this
reason the academic faculty has often
