A Hamme Westphalia pigeon fancier wagered twelve bees three miles from their hives would beat a dozen pigeons to a center point. At Rhynhern the first bee beat the first pigeon by a quarter minute and several bees finished ahead of the pigeons, with the bulk finishing nearly together. The race included flour to identify entrants. The women claim they eat little but dress in loose clothes after dinner.
