BY HOMER PIGEON
The short race this Week was
220 miles (from Tweed). It was
a very lovely day for birds to
fly and people to get married
and—well the weather Was just
about perfect for anything.
The birds Were liberated in
Tweed at 6:00 a..m, The first
bird Was in Liman at 11;55,
just in time for lunch. Clarence
Hardy was the owner of this
bird.
He had one three minutes later
which was good enough for sec-
ond. Tim Culbert got his No.
1100 home at 11:57 to be third.
Jack Hardy had two fdr lourth
and fifth and Bill Ennis df Arva
had one home at 12:10 to be
Sixth.
I haven't a coniplete report
On the exact finish of the rest of
the lofts at this time so rather
than make an unpardonable mis-
take l will not report any more
from this race.
The other race was from Grand
Mere, Quebec (500 miles). These
birds were basketed on Wednes-
day evening. The truck from Gait
picked them Up at the Shillelagh
after they had been banded.
These birds Were, liberated In
Otiebee on Friday Morning. There
were no birds home in the day.
On Saturday morning it was so
cloSed in With fog that yeti eduld-
nq see across the Street.. HOW-
ever, Otte sleet, rain or fog,
Bided birds of Clarence Hardy's
seem to Otte thrtiugh.
At 8:145 CM. Olarefice got MS
Baskets of white and yellow
mums and pink and white peonies,
formed the setting in Holy Trin-
ity Church, Lucan recently when
Rev. E. 0. Lancaster performed
a double-ring ceremony uniting
in marriage Rita Louise Logan
and Patrick Henry Egan.
The bride is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Logan of
RR 1 Thorndale and the groom is
the son of Mrs. Kathryn (Kay)
Egan of William St., Lucan and
the late Mr. Frank Egan.
Given in marriage by her
,
fath-
er, the bride chose a floor-
length white sheath crepe over
taffeta gown, featuring an empire
embroidered lace bodice, round
neck-line and long sleeves, trim-
med with beads. A detachable
cathedral train held in place by a
bow, cascaded gracefully to the
floor. A cluster of pearls held
her full-length four tier illusion
veil. She carried a cascade of
first bird Which was covered
with mud from being down in a
field somewhere for the night.
This is how a lot of birds get
lost. They are killed by wild
animals at night on some of
these long races.
This indeed Must have been
quite a bird to get up off that
wet ground the next morning
into the fog and fly the last few
miles to the loft.
Clarence's birds seem to be
like a little bay horse we have
seen in London this year. He will
either Win them all or else he
will Make a break and finish
away back,
With the winning of this 500
mile race goes the Frank Hardy
Memorial trophy which Clarence
Woh last year.
The results as cloSe as I can
figure are first, Clarence; Sec-
ond and third, Willy Vannes*
fourth, Jack Hardy; fifth, Toni
and Gord; sixth and seventh,
Clarence Hardy; eighth, Tom and
Gord.
At this point the money was all
used 11p but we were all very glad
to see our 500 Milers even if
they were out of the Money.
Next week we go to'Smith Fails
and oshawa. That Will end the
old bird races for I. Then
we will be starting the young
ones a couple of Weeks later.
It may be well to note at this
tinie Culbert didn't, get any birds
borne from the first &A 'but he
had the Only yearling home from
this last race.
pink and white carnations and
white mums.
Miss Linda Inson, William St.,
Lucan, as maid of honor was
the bride's only attendant in a
pale yellow chiffon over taffeta
full-length gown with matching
head-dress. She carried a cas-
cade of white and yellow mums.
• Frank Egan, Aylmer, was best
man for his brother. James Rum-
mell and Roy Caley were ushers.
Mrs. E. O. Lancaster of Lucan,
provided traditional wedding
music, and accompanied the solo-
ist, Miss Maureen Smith, who
sang The Wedding Prayer and
The Lord's Prayer.
Following a dinner in the
church basement, a reception
and dance were held in the Legion
Hall where the bride's mother
received in a sleeveless blue
crepe gown with matching blue
nylon coat, white accessories and
a pink carnation corsage. She
was assisted by the groom's
mother who chose a pale green
sleeveless gown with empire
waistline, matching nylon lace
coat With three-quarter length
sleeves, white accessories and
a corsage of white carnations.
For a motor trip to the West
coast, the bride changed to a
pink Boucle suit, black acces-
sories and corsage of white carn-
ations.
The young couple Will make
