I I FOUR PIGEONS RELEASED. Prize Blrrta Start Off 15 Apart and Head East for Cincinnati.

Four homing pigeons sent to tne American Express office by (lie Valley Flying Club were released from their coops this morn- ihg at Intervals of fifteen minutes. The first bird was turned out at six o'clock, circling In the air until Its marvelous instinct told It the direction, and then headed In a slightly northeast direction. Each bird took the same direction und were soon out of sight. Agent W. B.

Thompson, of the American Express expected that the club would send more pi- geans than they did for today's flight.
