The act for the preservation Of Holsters on
our coast was, on the motion of Mr.. Chick
ering, ordered to third reading in the assem-
bly,, and was reported favorably to the Senate
Yesterday. The gist of the act is to impose
penalty of 81 on whoever sells or offers
for sale lobster less than 10 l-2 inches, this
measurement being taken from one extremi-
ty of the body to the other, exclusive Of
claws and feelers. At the last meeting of the
American Fish-cultural Association, the pas
sage of an act of this character was suggest
ed, and the Executive Committee were or
dered to present the whole matter in its. prop
er form to the Assembly. The reason why a
lobster should not be caught before it is 10
l-2 inches long is because, until i has ac-
quired that size, it cannot produce its kind. |
Hence, from the ,indiscriminate catching of
Holsters which we're too small to be even SER |
viceable for food, these crustaceans have no.

The act is modelled exactly on the one now |
in force in Maine and Massachusetts, which |
has been found to have checked the waste Of
valuable food. and to have even increased
the quality and quantity of the crustaceans.
The form of the act, when it was sent to
Albany, some few weeks ago, was accOmpa
MED by petition signed by majority Of the
leading fish-dealers, hotel and restaurant pro-
prietors in New York.-N T. Times
