The Spring Fashions.

The beautiful and lavish display at M. Ro- gowski's challenges attention and admiration. Successful as Mir. Rogowski has been in his former endeavors to gratify the eyes of the New Haven ladies, the opening of his stock this year, which were first exposed to the gaze on Thursday, far exceeds them all. We have seldom if ever had a richer display pre- sented, and the verdict of the ladies is unani- nous in favor of MT. Rogowski. His taste and enterprise so finely displayed is not lost, for shoppers have filled his store to the ut most capacity, and many ladies call mornings to get close and unimpeded opportunity for selection. The styles commend themselves as rivaling what the metropolis affords, and Mir. Rogowski is in New York again this morning to attend wedding of personal friends and bring back more treasures for our lady | frio

owing to the threatening weather and the at traction of the ball game. The hares, Messrs. Sherman, 80, and Cummings, '82, started from the Lake Whitney boathouse at 2:30, and were followed by Darling, '82, with the hounds six minutes later. The hares ran up the west side of the lake, frequently laying false scent, which. owing to previous experi- ence, delayed the hounds but a short time. greater part of the run lay over burnt stubble and underbrush, where the trail was easily fol- lowed. On crossing to the east side of the lake the run became very exciting, as the hounds were close upon the hares. At East Rock. however, the hounds were thrown conn pletely of the scent and considerable time was lost. The run in from the flag was re- markedly short, in fact being 8 sort of one hundred yards dash. The hares reached the finish in one hour and five minutes, followed about ten minutes later by the first of the hounds in the following order: Darling, '52; 1; Graves, 's2; Bronson, 's2; Bliss. 's2.

The Oyster Interest.

Recent Laws Passed i'm Virginia and maryland-The Opinion or Fair Ha- ven Dealers.
 The oyster dealers of Fair Haven are much exercised over the laws recently enacted in Maryland and Virginia, by which their busi- ness is seriously affected. A short time ago Virginia passed law prohibiting dredging in her waters. Last Thursday Maryland passed law prohibiting the taking of oysters in her waters between the 18th of April and the 18th of September. These two laws will prove serious detriment to the oyster business of the country, especially this section, where they depended largely on the above States for their supplies. The general opinion among oyster dealers is that oysters will go up in price to $1. .25 per gallon within the next two or three months. Most oysters coming here now are for planting purposes. After the 18th they will be unable to procure more. Oyster dealers think it very unjust law. One prom inent dealer offered to bet even money that the law wouldn't last two years.
