 DISCUSS RACES
Tucson and Prescott Will Offer Attractive Fourth of July Programs -C Club Will Investigate and Pre- pare to Boost

 Smashed the speed records
 When the joyful fourth comes around once more there will be some annual speed events for tWo-Wheeled gas carts that will make Prescott and Tucson the centers of motorcycle at traction, and a couple of seven day wonders. The meeting of the Phoe- nix motorcycle club last evening was nearly all occupied by the discussion of invitations received from Prescott, and news from Tucson about the twin race meets on Independence Day, 1914.
 Prescott proposes through Shorty Bedding, president of the Yavapai Mo torcycle Club, to invite the Phoe nix riders to race to the mile high city Tucson is pulling off a ten a twenty-five and fifty mile race on the five mile speedway that is being constructed in, near and around the city.
 There was movement started to gather information for the local riders. many of whom will partici- pate in the two meets Acting Sec reta1y Rudderow will write to the two organizations, asking for data on the races, prizes, entries, etc. The club will probably endorse both events.
 The Tucson races will be the most pretentious ever attempted in Ari- zona Five hundred dollars is the proposed purse. It is not known whether the club there will affiliate with the F. A M and sanction the meet.
 The Prescott program includes a race. or endurance run to Prescott, and a race around the Prescott loop, made famous by the victories of Paul Heating on his Indian and Bob Tru- man in his Pope Hartford lastJuly 4 Prizes aggregating three to five hun dred dollars will be put up by the Yavapai club.

BIRDS OF FASHION

Perhaps the bird best known by name to those interested in the plum age question is the egret or white heron, from which the beautiful os- prey plumes, now worth from eight to twelve pound an ounce, are taken. Interest in this bird is the greater because it is known that the osprey is not part of the birds regular plumage but is assumed before breed ing time aind shed by the time the young are reared. In tropical coun- tries many of the white herons are shot by native hunters as soon as the nuptial plumage is ripe, and in this way the heron colony may su-- fer seriously, tEe young beng unable to look after themselves From tEs Strand.

NEWS AND VIEWS OF SPORT

Up until the last time the janitor cleaned out our back case there was a faded, tousled straw hat of the Kansas farmer brand tucked away on q top shelf. We could always look over our typewriter and get something out of that hat, for it was the aband oned thatch of Pittsie Ryan, the per ambulating newsboy. He left it here along with one can, one disreputable haversack and some minor trinkets, on his last visit to Phoenix. The word comes now that this youth of the en- thusiastic sole is engaged in another walking trip-this time from San Francisco to Cairo, Egypt, and from Cairo back to Frisco. Pittsie is no longer the walking newsboy. but now q full -fledged maniac of the open road. He is carrying a rifle as his only com panion.
