    See comments with Vacation Circus (LOC) This was presumably taken at a rehearsal for the charity event.

    More than two dozen homing pigeons were released in New York City on February 13, 1915, as part of the Poultry and Pigeon Show being held in Madison Square Garden. Officials of the show, pictured above, sent a message of peace, via homing pigeon, to President Wilson, in Washington, DC. On each pigeon's leg was a narrow strip of tissue paper bearing the message: "Universal peace soon will be a god-send". The message was signed by Colonel Lee Crandall. After their arrival in Washington, the pigeons were released the following day at 9:15AM, and almost all of them had arrived in New York City later that day. Three of the pigeons, which belonged to Fred C. Schmidt (pictured above) arrived simultaneously at their loft in Brooklyn at 3:20PM. That six-hour flight was considered to be a "fast flight". — The New York Times                       ( To see the next photo in this series, click here.)
