TILE BRADING HARBOUR OYSTER FISHERY
ssn Basencco Cows-yr (Lnass;o.)—The first general
meeting of the shareholders of this company was
held at the local offices, St. Helen's, near Beading,
Isle of Wight, on Tuesday; Colonel J. C. Boulder-
eon (late of the Madras Engineers) in the chair. The
dirCtors stated that the first pond for
the artificial reception and ultimate preaertation of the
oyster " spat" is completed, and was opened on the had
July. The work appears to be substantuil and good, and
the directors have every reason to be satisfied with the
despatch and anxiety manifested by the contractor, Mr.
Pritchard, to complete the work to the extent required to
enable the directors to commence the operations
for the actual breeding of oysters, and it is y his exer-
tions alone that they have been enabled to do so. The
work of enclosure for the formation of the ponds was
commenced very late in the season, yet by the efforts that
have been made they have been enabled to lay the
broody oysters in pond No. 1, in sufficient time, they hope,
to secure this season's fall of "spat," or young oysters.
The manager, Captain Kulback, has laid down in the pond
many thousands of broody oysters, and has adopted
several of the moat approved methods for collecting the
" spat." The work of constructing the embankments in
the formation of the ponds has been a much more difficult
and necessarily more expensive matter thee tide a_teectom
contemplated. The entire west When completed will
enclore a spans fully three times tArger than the size of
the pond already completed. The directors are glad to be
able to report that since the starting of the company
several of tbe residents in the vicinity of the oompanys
operations have become shareholders, and they expect
that as the highly interesting character of the undertaking
becomes more fully known others will follow their example.
The report was adopted.
SWIMMING IN TEL SERPEICTINE.—Yesterday a
handicap race of 600 yards for second-class swimmers,
the prizes bring two silver medals, presented by the West
London Swimming Club, took place in the Serpentine, in
the presence of a large number of persons. Out of nine
entries seven came to the post, and went off as follows,
the figures denoting the number of seconds start each
had :—W. Bapley, 40; A. Baldock, 20; G. Davis, 20; E.
Bapley, 20: F. Dowse, 16 ; B. Giver, 5 ; and E. Bricable,
scratch. They took water respectively at the word of
Mr. I. Kent, and when 160 yards had been got over the
order was—Dowse, 1; Davis 2 ; Diver, 3. Bumble in the
next 100 yards caught the lad two named, but Dowse
held his own admirably, and led by 20 yards at the green
boat-house. He kept about that distance ahead of Brimble,
and so won. CHVOT was third. 10 yards behind Brimble.
and 5 before Davis, who was fmirth man. E. Replay was
fifth; A. Baldock, sixth; and W. Bapley had a fine view
of the finish. Brimble and A. Baldock would swim
faster if they talked less while in the water. There was
a strong head wind, so the time was slow, 10 min.
38 sec. Mr. T. Morris was judge, and presented the
medals after the race.
