Val there be a Regatta?

The talked of consolidation of the Undine
and Pioneer boat clubs of this city, has not
progressed very far as yet. The commit.
tee appointed by the Undine club recently,
not having completed its work.
In connection with the consolidation,
there is a rumor current among the boat
men, that the new club does not propose If
the consolidation takes place, to engage in
any contest with any other club, but that
the club will be mainly pleas
ure one, for the practice and
amusement of its own members, and that 1t
will refuse to join the navy, which will of
course practically do away with the usual
Ngattas unless another club is formed. The
Bachelors claim that the movement is one
which was inaugurated because the other
clubs are afraid to contest with them, and
that if the decision ia made not to have q
regatta, they will challenge any four oars
men in the State to contest, and that q
failure to accept will entitle them to the
championship flag
The matter seems to be creating some in
terest among the lovers Of the sport in this
city, and general impression is preya-
lent that the movement may result in the
breaking up of the sport, and prominent
boatmen express their disgust at the state
of affairs, but state that they will make an
attempt to revive the sport by the organi-
zation of Centennial club for the season.

The Eastern Shore Oysters.

The prospect for the spring oyster trade
in the Chesapeake waters seems to be en-
couraging. The St. Michaels Comet says
that those Immediately interested In the
oyster business are In better heart for an
active and remunerative business this
spring than for several seasons past.
During the last two or more years, and
especially during the late fall and winter
season, the traffic in oysters was excess
sively fiat. The financial depression which
prevailed throughout the country has su-
perinduced marked falling off in the de-
mand from the North and West for oysters
so that our tongmen especially have been
without work for long time. Recently,
however, there is an increased activity In
the demand for oysters. Several large
schooners from the North have come into
our waters and run up the basket to the top
mast, which is an tnspiriting sign to OYSTER
men. Reports came to our oystermen that
there will 0e large demand upon the
oyster-beds Of the Chesapeake and tribu-
tares during this Centennial year. The
bedded oysters of the North are nearly ex-
hausted, and the grounds will be replen-
ished with "plants" from our waters this
spring so as TO be rea1y for the immense
quantities which will be required at the
Centennial. One gentleman spoke to us of
an order already given for 800, 900 bushels,
which will perhaps be supplemented with
other orders,

CROOKED NAILS.
Son,etAi,,0 for the official Snsellers.

Something for the official Snsellers.
Investigation is wanted in Chestertown.
It is in the postof1ce department and some
body is doing the thing so awfully crooked
that 1t would not look straight even to q
blind man. The Kent County Railroad is
paid for all the mail matter carried over it
by weight, and this has led to fatter look
ing mall bags than when the transportation
was paid for the matter in the bulk. A
mail bag that a man could have tested his
muscle easily with when the latter mode of
payment was in practice, the man with the
iron jaw could now scarcely gravitate upon
the top of bis head. One might exclaim,
"And pray how has all this been done" and
it could easily be answered with "Why by
stufiing the mail bags"
Rumor has it that the man who has done
the crooked work is very much interested
| In the road, so much so that he sends at
least dozen sacks of mail matter over the
line a week, filed with that interesting
class of literary matter known as public
documents or sometimes called for short
"public docs" some of them dating back
a. far as 1867 and handsomely embellished
with cobwebs and mildew. They are all
consigned to one party in Chestcrtown and
that party says he has no idea who sends
them, but he is much indebted to the donor
for the heart-rending stories they relate of
new patent washboards, spring beds,
churns, paper collars, sc. And as he has
already about ton of this literary material
on hand, he can easily make donation to
some Centennial library. This is clear
case of BelknaperyEor Cresswellism and
should be looked into. Such is the state.
ment of Chestertown correspondent.
