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 their home at RR 4 Thamesford, Ontario.
