The District National Guard no longer
possesses the proud distinction Of holding a
military championship that in its terms knew
no geographical boundaries. Up to last satur-
day afternoon there was no cloud on the
title, but before sunset the glory had departed
and the District riflemen were simply ex-cham-
piona New York had captured both the Hilton
and interstate trophies.
Every member Of the Washington team was
asleep by 1880 on Friday night and their SUM
beers were undisturbed until about 6 o'clock on
Saturday morning. There had been . general
demand for rain and when daylight arrived the
liquid was coming down as though Dyrenforth
dynamite balloons had been operating over
Long Island during all the hours of darkness.
AS the day grew older the rain became more
sincere, and when the teams moved to the fir
Ing point, shortly before 10 O'clock there was
ample promise Of steady downpour.
THE INTERSTATE MATCH.
1t was 1880 before the first shot was fred in
the interstate match. For awhile the fusillade
was steady, but as rain and wind increased
there was a marked tendency toward delibera-
ZION on the part Of the rifemen. Finally the
storm became SO violent that 'cease firing
was sounded and for about twenty minutes the
sharpshooters sat in their respective tents.
Capvas shelters were erected at the four firing
points (New York and Washington each having
two targets and as soon as the weather settled
down trife business was resumed Each man
hred ten rounds at 200 yards in the interstate
match and when those scores had been COM
pleted the same men in the same order Of firing
put IN seven shots more, these latter being his
total in the first stage Of the Hilton competi-
ton. Up to this point Washington had proven
the ability of the Sringfeld rife to compete
with the special guns and ammunition used
by their competitors, for the score in the inter-
state match was a tie at 490 points, while in the
Hilton struggle New York was four points to
the rear. At this range the instruments used
were more nearly equal than at any other and
tho home team may be congratulated for the
very fine record its members made.
A light lunch occupied the attention of the
competitors until o'clock and then they re-
turned to the range. Instead Of the 500 and
60O yards work being done on the targets which
were used last year and which had been used
during the past week the closing stages were
shot on canvas targets set up alongside the 200
yard bulrs-eyes. There was only a little rain
at this time. but the wind blew gustily across
the range and turned many well-aimed bullet
from its intended course. First to be fired
were ten concluding rounds in the interstate
match and when that had been done it WAS
seen that New York was thirty points ahead,
the totals of the complete scores being New
York, 1,O26; Washington, 1856.
Then the Hilton struggle was continued I'M
til the last bullet had sought the targets from
6O0 yards firing point. and New York was the
winner. Here are the scores.

THE MARYLAND OYSTER FIELps.
Encouraging Reports From All the Oyster-
Producing Counties.

hf'uusfhS Souubrs.
An Annapolis dispatch to the Baltimore s.a
SAYS: From the eleven oyster-Iroducing coun-
ties of Maryland come encouraging reports con-
corning the oyster industry. The outlook is
for better season than has been known for
years. The vigilance OF an efficient oyster
navy and the embodiment in the oyster law
of the culling feature. prohibiting young
oysters from being caught, are responsible for
this favorable state of affairs. IL is too early
in the season TO expect the oysters 10 be fat
and juicy like they will be later on. They are,
however, of good favor, and at some places,
Oxford and Easton for instance. command as
high as 20 cents a bushel. In ANNAPOLIS they
have sold as low 30 cents a bushel. The best
quality is caught in shallow water. In deep
water they are larger but not SO palatable.
The culling feature of the law. added TO the
act OF 1880, requiring oysters 60 measure two
and a half inches from hinge TO mouth, iscon-
sidered the most important addition the oyster
Law has received for many years. The advantage
of such a law is already apparent by the young
growth which has been found since the OPEN
ing of the season last Tuesday. IL these
small oysters are left undisturbed from
year to year it is claimed the depleted
oyster rocks, ruined by rough usage and .
disregard for the oyster law, will De replen-
ished and return to their former thriving
state. Knowing that IL will benefit them in
the future, oyster tongers generally are in
favor Of a strict enforcement of the culling
law, and some have promised TO unite with
the fishery force TO carry out its provisions
to the letter. Gen. Seth says he is deter
mined to have the law strictly enforced.
Not even a shell or a single under-sized oyster
will be permitted, il is said. In q bushel when
measured. The penalty for violation Of the
culling laws imposes fine Of from $50 to 900
or a sentence in jail from one month to a year,
or both fine and imprisonment or a forfeiture
of the craft. Ii is reported that several arrests
were made at oxford during the week Of par
ties having in their possession oysters under
the prescribed size.
Beginning next week the state fishery force
will make arrests in cases where longing
licenses have not been secured for small boats
to engage in the oyster trade. The police Of
ficials acting under the instructions from Com
mander Seth, were disposed 10 be lenient dur
ing the first week of the season. SO a. TO allow
the tongers ample time TO secure their licenses.
A number of them have failed to do 80 and they
will be overloaded next week and required 70
pay fine if they are not provided with the
necessary license.

An American Colony in Costa RIGA.

The minister of public works of Costa RIGA

engage in the cultivation of coffee, cocoa, cane,
cotton, rubber, corn, rice, wheat, barley, oats,
forage, fibrous plants &C., &c., and also to rear

Thousands Of people have visited the Botani-
cal Gardens during the past three days 10 get q
glimpse Of the royal water lily with lite NAM
moth leaves eight feet in diameter.
Today there was a steady crowd from 3
O'Clock a. m. until dark. The big centennial
fountain in the center of the grounds was the
center Of attraction. Here the leaves OF the
lily are the largest, although those found in the
little fountain just south Of the main green
house are large enough to support a good
sized child, and Assistant Superintendent Rev
nolds was kept busy all day placing the little
ones on the huge pads. where they shouted for
joy at their peculiar seat.
The blooms of the lilies have about disap-
peared. although there are several large buds
which will flower during the week. Owing to
the cool weather. which affects the temperature
of the water, this will probably be the last week
that an opportunity can be had of witnessing
this beautiful and strange flower. The accom-
panying picture was made from photograph
taken of the lily with the sixty-five pound son
of the assistant superintendent sitting upon
one of the mammoth leaves.
