 Visitation.
 Despite the unusal1y high price asked for Virginia oysters, the Fair Haven deal CTS will be required to buy several cargoes for plants, to put down on the Beach beds. There are several causes for scarcity of Chesapeake bay stock. The grounds hay ing been once fshed, the authorities have tie catch. Another reason for the scare ity is the poor sets in recent seasons. Last years plants cost Fair Haven planters de- ivered on an ave rage of 50 cents per bush el This spring is expected that plants will cost 60 cents and some cargoes perhaps over. Lancraft Brothers expect to bring in six cargoes this spring, and one of the firm is in Virginia looking out for the shipments. He was expecting to have two Fair Haven this week. Captain John G. Hervey, Captain Walter Avery and Capt. Charles Seeley are in the south and each will load one vessel, and some of them more than one These vessels will bring
 plants to several dealers. Sometimes the majority of the Fair Haven dealers are in
 terested in a cargo of plants. Some of the
 oysters sent here from the south this win
 ter came from Brunswick, Ga. This is a new point from which to receive oysters,
 and the stock was said to have been very
 fine. The oysters are opened and then
 packed in barrels for shipment, and they come through all right.
 'Iittle Ormonde," the seven-year-old violinist who delighted all who heard him during his visit here, is now in New York
 and is to play at several entertainments.
 His home is in Terryville, this state. His parents have received several fattering of fers to have him appear regularly in pub lie. They refused all such offers, prefer ring to give him @ good education and to further develop his musical tastes. Dur ing his stay here he visited at the home of
 Thomas E. Nunan, 24 Clinton avenue. Henry F. Smith, the tailor, began this
 week to fill the order of the New Haven Bicycle club. He is to make about 100 pairs of trousers and say thirtyfve coats for wheelmen suits.
