A notable flight was made from the Eddie Martin aviation grounds to Fullerton Wednesday afternoon, when courthouse officials sent messages to Mr. Clark. Miss Blanche Hill, deputy county clerk, who works for the board of supervisors, sent official messages to Mr. Clark. Another was sent by Miss Helen Hull of Rankin's on behalf of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, urging Mr. Clark, who is leaving for a trip East, to get back on the job 10 days before the fair opens its gates, September 22. The airplane and pigeon race was postponed. Eddie Martin, filer, took to the air with the two fair senders of letters and flew over Santa Ana in brief pursuit of the carrier pigeons. Mr. Clark reported the pigeons rang the bell at their station in Fullerton in about 20 minutes after their release at the aviation field. One of the birds, King Solomon, a fine blue specimen, has flown home as high as 500 miles in one day. His distinguished contrast to a HOMING CITY OF ORANGE COUNTY DIES Arthur L.

BACK FROM BEACH Frank Dyer and family have returned from a month's outing at Anaheim Landing, and he is again at his place of business on North Los Angeles street. It was like treading some banquet hall deserted to find Frank away, but he insists upon going to the beach during the month of August, which he has done for many years. In the "25 Years Ago" column appears an item stating that Frank had just returned from his month's sojourn at the beach. His name does not appear in the "50 Years Ago" column, for he was probably at home with his new pair of red-topped boots.

Eddie Martin, filier, took to the air with the two fair senders of letters and flew over Santa Ana in brief pursuit of the carrier pigeons. Mr. Clark reported the pigeons rang the bell at their station in Fullerton in about 20 minutes after their release at the aviation field. One of the birds, King Solomon, a fine blue specimen, has flown home as much as 500 miles in one day. His companion, Queen of Sheba, is a younger bird, but she proved a good strong flier in this, her first visit abroad. Mr. Clark says there are nearly 100 flying pigeon fanciers in Orange county, organized into an association known as the Orange County Racing Pigeon Club. "The club, which has members in all sections of the county, will put on a fine exhibit this year," said Mr. Clark. There will be a model loft, with all the paraphernalia for sending messages, timing the flights and keeping records. We expect to set some new records and in other ways to advertise the fair by daily flights in all directions. We expect about 500 birds to be entered in displays, and half as many rabbits. There are more than 150 fair prizes and 35 special pigeon awards given by local fanciers. Children's pets will be entered free. "I will receive notifications of entries September 15 to 19, at 206 North Balcom, Fullerton, or at the fair office in Santa Ana. It will be the biggest pigeon show in the history of the county in all respects."
