| THE BIRDS WERE BASKETED ON WEDNESDAY AND NOT LIBERATED TILL THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, FIVE DAYS IN THE BASKET. I REGARD MY FOURTH PRIZE IN THIS RACE AS THE BEST RESULT I HAVE ACHIEVED IN DISTANCE RACING SO FAR. THIS IS A FINE FOURTH PRIZE FOR MY LOFT CHAMPION BOOMERANG I RATE IT ABOVE THE FIRST CLUB SAINTES IN THE NOW DEFUNCT TRAVELLERS REST HOMING SOCIETY AS GEOFF CHAPMANS BIRDS ARE AMONG THE BEST DISTANCE PIGEONS IN THE UK. |
