No. 8082 takes its own sweet time, straggling in a day later. It's a mediocre showing for Marganski's pigeons, but all the birds are home. There will be other races, one every week until the end of September. Marganski now has an idea which birds are the most promising, the ones that could bag trophies and win him a few bucks. He's got their number.
