HONORS FOR LOCAL

the latter have been carried off by Mes

The young bird grand national race
took place from Buffalo. N. Y. and liber-
alton was made on October 10 at s

by one to the loft of Mr.. J. G. East
burn, while the fourth and last report
was timed to the loft of Mr.. Fairbanks
at 4:15.
The annals of pigeon flying show many
performances of grit. but for indomit-
able pluck and undying courage the &C.

been surpassed.

will be much sought after. has enjoyed
a season of remarkable successes. Geo

always won a lions share When it is
learned that no other birds were reported
In four days in this arduous race. and
when. too, the local birds endured the
most severe atmospheric conditions, no
words can do justice in praising this loft.
In the old bird national race Mr. Fair
banks reported the best percentage OF
birds home in the United States, and In
this race the local birds were the only
ones handicapped by contrary winds.
Mr.. Eastburn. the other fancier to win
renown, has accomplished what no other
has been able to do in the Washington
federation. This is his first year with
the club, yet he made a runaway of the
average speed diploma, and reported
every bird in each race.

Vanderbilt Cup Race.

NEW YORK, October 16.-Sixty cars is
not an exaggerated estimate of the num-
Der of entries for the Vanderbilt cup auto
race. to be held two weeks from today
Nearly twenty-five entries have already
been received and the race is certain to be
a record breaker both in the number and
time results. This latter fact is due to
the selection Of a course Of only 1851
miles, of which SIS miles are over the ce-
ment roadway Of the Long Island motor
parkway. There are no dangerous turns
this year. no railroad crossings and the
roads are broad and fast, and banked
four feet at the turns. Practice work will
begin October 20.

the Swarthmore foot ball team today,
