Trenton 

Let us look at a few records flights by the Trentons: in July 11,

1913, a Blue Checker half Trenton known as 'Bullet' homed into

Fort Wayne from Abilene, Texas, 1000 miles late in the afternoon

of the 2nd day to the loft of Oscar Anderson, a world record in 1

day, 11 hours, and 24 minutes, and 6 seconds making a speed of

1042.54 yards per minute. On the 24th of June, 1927, 'Bullet's'

record was broken by 'Wayne Jr.' a full Trenton bred and flown

into Fort Wayne by C.W. Oetting. 'Wayne Jr.' flew 1005 miles to

his home loft in I day, 10 hours, 22 minutes and 20 seconds, with

a speed of 1122.43 ypm. Much has happened since then in

relation to this fabulous strain. In fact one of the great exponents

of the Trenton's- Milton Haffner of Fort Wayne, Indiana,

according to my sources in a period of 21 years sent 79 birds to

races of 1,000 mile distances and realized a percentage of 71%-

that is 57 returns.

This is phenomenal! One of the latter a cock named 'Spotty' flew

1,000 miles five times collecting a first and a second with his last

race at the age of nine years old. And today representatives of

the strain continue to cross the one thousand miles barrier. In

fact this great strain of distance racing pigeons went on to create

a lasting legacy as the foundation of many of the great long

distance lofts in the United States of America.
