depending upon the fresh water of these ponds and
streams for drinking their oysters before sending
them market. BY the process of drinking
the oysters become clear In color and plump and

The Britannia had the windward posi-
ton as the yachts crossed the line, which
they did in this order: Corsair, 10.o210,
Britannia. 10.05:05; Ailsa 10O610. The
breeze was light at the start but soon
freshened.
The score in rounding the home mark

The Ailsa has proved herself a wonder

day she had had her racing sails on, was
marvellous. Her owner. A. b. Walker.

board. She was not well handled al the

seemed TO get the hang of things, and
a decided change was noticeable. The
Ailsa seemed TO work easy i'm stays and
was quick in going about. while she is
as steady as the Britannia. Old yacht cap
