Which perhaps helps to} explain why pigeon racing is developing into a popular sport, with thousands of birds racing every Saturday throughout the summer. The birds are trained for racing, but how they "home" over hundreds of miles remains a mystery. At about four months of 'age a pigeon is ready for his first "toss," which necessitates his flying home for about a mile, Later he does five miles, then 10, 20, and 50. He is then ready for the races, which take him in 'jumps of 50 to 300 miles. As a yearling he is ready for 500 miles. A racing pigeon fights odds at every turn--weather, hawks, guns --yet great feats have been accomplished. : One bird has flown' "the 500-mile race six years in succession. ~~ : A fancier may enter up to 16 birds in an ordinary race.

The kite, of waterproofed silk, is attached to the fishing:line whose 4-inch steel hook carries a living flying- fish as bait. The kite is launched into the wind-on a_76-foot string, which makes a giant bow as the boat cruises slowly along --at one end the fisherman, at the other the kite hanging in the sky, with the bait leaping just over the water. .© When the swordfish sees the bait he charges with the speed of a torpedo, the gauzy fish is taken,-and the kite string snaps, allowing the kite to float down to await rescue later. The racing sea-tiger speeds through the water with hook, bait and a smoking line, and a battle begins which may last more than an hour. Swordfish range up to 14 feet in length and weigh up to 700 Ibs. They will attack anything that displeases them. Various craft hulls.

The Reader's Digest, January, 1934] many 'American race horses are doped, usually to speed them up. To foil such doping the French, after a-race, select two or three horses for a saliva test, which is too expensive to give all the horses entered. No trainer, jockey or owner knows which horse. will be chosen, The chemical reaction proves beyond all doubt whether a horses has been doped or not.

It is equipped with steer- ing wheel of the conventional automobile type.

Crash helmets, resembling football headgear, and leather face masks are worn by most crews. Beef is at a premium; the lightest man on the Olympic champion team weighed 185 pounds. . Even at four miles a minute the pilot of a racing airplane gets nothing like the kick experienced by a bobsled crew which, seated only 10 inches above the ground, gets a distorted impression of speed--at that, it may be a heady 70 miles an hour, down a six- foot-wide run, The motor boat, which brings you closer to the medium over which you travel than any vehicle save a bobsled, is the second' most exciting form of rapid transit. ~--Oscar Grier, Manhatten lawyer and expert poiied racer, in Literary Digest. Sailing a boat is.no more difficiilt or dangerous than driving a motor car; and it is one of 'the few, sports in which women, without handicaps, beat men at 'their own game. A beginner should start with a small boat, one ; from 12 to 18 feet long. They can be had for the price of an old Ford (and the upkeep is'less.) With the help of a boating friend, it will not take long to learn, and in time you will understand why men have left comfortable homes to follow the sea. You will know what it means to commune 'with the stars in the silence of a calm night, or see the flying spray made silver by the moon, and you will realize why yachting is the sport of kings and the queen of sports.

Weaghant in Vogue At the very moment when a fortune is being spent at Bristol, R.I, in building a cup contender to meet the British sloop "En- deavour" next fall, the whole theory. of aerodynamics on which racing craft have operated has gpparently been upset by a rather objectionable-looking- little water-bug call eda sail-plane. One of them was exhibited at the New York Boat Show by Elco. It (you could hardly call-it "she") has two hulls like a catamaran, and its two masts are raked in and joined at the head. Because it has overcome the tendency of the wind to drive a boat under, it re- quires no ballast.
