THE season for pigpon-racing, claimed by its devotees to be the most fascinating sport in the world, is now opening. Pigeon fanciers will not need to be told that Mr. Fletcher is President of the National Homing Union, but even those with no previous knowledgo of the topic would be well advised to listen to his talk this evening. and see whether there may not be a pigeon ' fan ' locked up in their own breasts unaware.

Italian Songs :
Auch kleine Dinge (E'en little things)
Gesegnet sci. durch den die Welt entstund (Give praise to Him through Whom the world arose) Nun lass uns Frieden schliessen (Now let ua be friends)
Ihr jungen Leute (You young fellows)
Ein Standchen Euch zu bringen (A serenade to bring you)
Gesegnet sei das Grün {Blessed bo Green)
Ich hab' in Penna (I have in Penna a lover true)
E'EN little things may give us pleasure' is the thought of the first song, which reminds us how we often prize most highly tiny things--the pearl. the olive, the rosebud.
The second song is an ascription of praise to
God, Who created all things in beauty.
Now let us be friends is a magnanimous plea for reconciliation between true lovers. The great ones of the earth can make peace ; surely loving hearts can achieve as much ?
You young fellows is the anxious plea of a girl to the men who are going with her lover to the war. With her appeal to bring him safely back she mingles homely care about his health.
A serenade to bring you is the song of a lover who apparently cannot address his ladv directly, but has to state his feelings through a third party-her father. His sentiments are much the usual ones of all lovers, and a touch of exaggeration is not lacking-though the day has but twenty-four hours, he declares, he misses her foi twenty-five.
The next song sings the praises of green because it is Nature's dress, and also the colour worn by the beloved one.
The last song is a catalogue of lovers, rather reminiscent, on a smaller scale, of Don Juan 's. Here seven are sevorally listed, then four in La Fratta are lumped together, and finally a bunch of ten in Castiglione is thrown in as make-weight.

YACHTING is usually thought of as being a rich man's game ; and so it is if you want to race a schooner or lift the America Cup. But it can be done very pleasurably and comparatively cheaply if you forgo racing and are content, for instance, to cruise in a ten-tonner on the Broads. It is of this aspect of the matter that Major Loring will talk.

THE special nights at the Press Club are famous for their convivial atmosphere and the unusual liveliness of their after-dinner speeches. On this occasion the B.B.C. is providing the Concert, and all tho artists taking part in it are already popular with listeners. Another interesting feature of this evening's programme is that the News Bulletin is being read from the Press Club itself-one of the very few occasions on which it has been sent over the microphone from anywhere but Savoy Hill.
