The pigeon racing season Is about
to open In England, and among the
items Of interest Is the great Yorkshire e
combine race on July l and 2 from
Rennes. In Brittany, which Is put into
operation for the first time. The race will
be flown In two sections, to be known a.
the eastern and western sections. The
eastern section will comprise the Heavy
Wool the Leeds, the Wakefield. and the
Barnsley Federation. The western Sec
ton will embrace the Northwest Fedora
ton. including Bradford, Keighley and
Skipton districts: the West Yorkshire
Federation, covering the Halifax area,
and the West Yorkshire Central Fedora
ton, covering the Huddersfield area. The
prize money will amount TO 1915 with the
addition Of $l.2l5 from the pools, but 1t
will be allocated in equal awards for the
first bird home in each section. and also
il Is understood for birds In each section
up to the twentieth place.
A new society, the Yorkshire Western
Social Circle. has been established for
long distance racing fanciers. The Sec
retary Is James Brearey, of Baildon. near
Bradford. The circle has organized a
race Of $50 miles from Dol. in Brittany,
for June H. Interest in long-distance
pigeon racing will also be enhanced this
year by the 1.o0o-mile flight from Rome
to England, which will be attempted dur
Ing the coming season. Birds from all
parts of the country will compete. In
1912 a distance of 500 miles. Of which the
first 800 miles had TO be flown over the
sea- was accomplished successfully from
the Farce Islands TO Harrow. near Lon
don.

In Denver the other day on their way
to Arizona. These elk will be turned out

will be protected from hunters under
State laws and will be given every op-

Herds of elk have recently been sent In
