THE PIGEON SPECIAL
Carries 10000 Competing Birds to
 Great Derby at Jersey

From Answers.
 Four hundred tons, Such was the weight of the pigeon express. 20o yards in length. which lately carried the 10000 competing birds from Bir- mingham, en route to Jersey, on the oc- casion of the great Pigeon Derby
 During the flying season--May to August-the railway companies have constantly committed to them vast con- signments of pigeons for long-distance training. Twenty years ago the traffic was of trifling proportions. Odd bas- kets, here and there. were sometimes sent by rail, ticket tied to each, on which the liberator, usually porter or parcels clerk, inscribed the state of weather and the time the birds were flown. Now the leading railways cater for their conveyance by running trains of specially constructed vans.
 In 1905, a cross-country pigeon spe- cial was inaugurated. Starting from Newca stle- on Tyne, the first week of the season it ran to Selby. The follow ing week, further stage to Doncaster; next to Nottingham. and so on till Southampton and Bournemouth formed its destination. At times this train, despite it's great length of 25 vans, was even run in duplicate, so taxed was the accommodation.
 preliminary training is first given to the birds before being tested by a railway journey. In every direction for miles around their home. many enthusi- asts will tramp, carrying their birds within wicker basket. or. mayhap merely in a paper bag.
 No sport. you think? An. but to feel the flutter of the eager wings. the warm, palpitating body: to see the bright and piercing eye, and mark the upward rush. the majestic circling wheel, as the bird mounts up. up, up and then the mysterious homtng in. stinct coming into play. as it heads to- ward the horizon. homeward bound, and vanishes from view.
 Then afterward the eager hope. the hesitating doubt merged into joy. when, safe and sound at home. the bird is found.
 ine rigeon special is accomplished on each journey by one or two convoyers-- men who feed and water the birds en route, and on arrival see to their re- lease. The huge 42-foot vans, with ellipical roots and patent air-extrac- tors, will each accommodate about 50 baskets.
 Along each side of the vans are lat tice shelves, 24 of them, fixed in pairs on hinges. pigeon-basket of stand ard size having been universally adopt ed size having been universally adopted. these shelves are made to fit. and when not in use can be raised flush with the van sides. so that, if necessary, the vehicle can at any time be used for ordinary luggage.

EXHIBITS
 AT DALLAS FAIR

Selma. October 4.-(Special.)-The larg- est crowd of the week attended the Gen. tral Alabama Fair today. Every train into the city this morning brought to Selma many visitors from the surround ing country and even larger crowds are pected for tomorrow and Saturday
 The fair is making a speciality of live stock and agricultural exhibits and those displays are larger and better this year than have ever been shown before in Selma. By these displays the farmers of Central Alabama are learning a great deal by which they will profit in future years in their work upon the farms.
 The race programme. which is being given each afternoon, is proving most at tractve and is being witnessed by large crowds. The night programme is also proving an attractive feature of the fair and large crowds are witnessing the fire works displays, the free acts and the horse shows.

CROWDS ATTENDING
 THE JASPER FAIR

Jasper, October 4.-tSpecial)-The Fair grounds of the Walker County Fair was the scene of much activity and interest today. More farmers from the rural sec tion are here today than on any previous day.
 Capt Reuben F. Kolb. commissioner or agriculture and immigration, was an un- expected visitor today. having come over from Birmingham this morning. The management had Captain Kolb address the visitors at II o'clock. The speaker complmented highly the agriculture ex- hibts, saying that the agricultural ex- hibit was one of the most creditable county fair exhibits he had seen this year and as good as he saw last year He said Walker county was as good as any county in the state.
 The exhibits as a whole are attract ing much attention from every one. and are receiving favorable criticism from all competent to judge the resources of the county.
 Much interest is taken each day in the trotting, pacing and running races.
