FINE OYSTERS TODAY.
Supply Good Mt the Opening of the r
Season.

Season.
I'VE have some fine oysters today" was
what the walters in many dining rooms
told the guests when they appeared at
the lunch or dinner table, and he who
had bivalves on his bill of fare was proud
of the opportunity to introduce them the
first day of the season.
Most Of the restaurant keepers started
the oyster business on a small scale, be-
cause of the warm weather, and while
none of them anticipated heavy trade
they wanted them merely as a drawing
card the first day of the oyster season
Some of the places it is true, had served
them through the summer, so that the
patrons at these places had no reason to
notlce mat this was the opening day.
During recent weeks most of the oysters
received here came by steamer or train,
but two days ago pungy reached the
oyster wharf at the foot of 11tn street
this morning the second load of the season
arrived. These were from Curriomen, and
there was some lively bidding for them.
They were sold in one lot to a local dealer,
while the supply of two days ago was dis
posed of In small lots TO different pur-
chasers.
Only small quantities of oysters will be
brought on the PUNCHES, sloops and schoon-
ers during the next few days, but in about
two weeks there will be an increase in the
number of boats, which will result in more
regular receipts, and then dealers will have
no trouble in getting supplies large, enough
for their trade. Although Dnlysa few
oysters arrived this morning they did not
bring an unusually large price,
They were in splendid condition Tor this
season of the year." said the dealer who
bought them. In fact, they were finer
than l have ever seen them $50 early in
September"
He said that ten bushels of them shocked
eight gallons of oysters, and ythis,l at the
beginning of the season, he said,' is re-
markable. A great many small IDrders,
the dealer added. were received yesterday
from restaurant keepers, whoJt wanted to
open up their trade this morning on a linn
tied scale.
There was scene of activity lat the
oyster wharf this morning, Notwithstanding
the fact that there was not large supply.
scores OF shuckers with their knives ready
for business were on hand early, and even
II they were not actually engaged Ia OPEN
ing oysters they had the pleasant antici-
patton of work in a few days. In the
meantime they will spend most Of their
leisure about the wharf, discussing the sea-
sons prospects, eating watermelons and
having good time generally.
1t Is expected that regular steamers from
the lower Potomac will bring quite a num-
Der of barrels of oysters from the creeks
and small rivers between here and Point

AT OVERLOOK INN.
Serious and Humorous Phases of Ad
Writing at Club Dinner.

Writing at CLUB Dinner.
The Ad. Writer'S Club of this city lis
known as an organization of men Of much
commercial Importance to Washington.
Yesterday evening all thoughts of catchy
display effects and enticing type talk were
laid aside, and attention paid entirely to
a superb dinner at Overlook Inn. The club
has long been a notable one for it's clever
and entertaining banquets, and last nights
affair was by no means an exception to
the rule.
The club and its guests completely filled
the huge four-horse coach provided by
Knox & Co. for their transportation. The
drive out was enlivened by story telling
and songs. On the arrival of the party at
the Inn greetings were extended by Col.
A. NJ. Bliss, and the ad. writer's then re-
paired to the banquet room, where the
tables were beautifully decorated and the
menu provided left nothing to be desired
The digestion of the diners was assisted
unsteady by an orchestra.
Speeches followed the coffee and cigars
and the clover and entertaining talks
proved that the members of the club are
gifted in speech as they are with their
pens. Mr.. Nordlinger was the first speak
. er, and, a dry land sailor, proved his
knowledge Of advertising Stewardship
In a witty and entertaining talk. Mr.. Harz
followed with a short. serious paper on
audien nee amused for a quarter of an hour
with Department Store Humor, Mr.. Fin
ney contributed a very clever essay on the
absurdity of carrying certain forms of art
into advertising and introduced a contrast
cart and Heart in Advertising being the
subject
Mr.. Wilkinson related some amusing and
serious incidents peculiar to the career of
an advertising man. MIR. Fame was then
called on, and pointed out the many ad-
vertising opportunities local concerns were
allowing 10 pass unheeded. Mr.. Kinnear
traced in a few well put words THE Ad-
vance of Advertising-Its Rise, Develop
ment and Future"
Mr.. Miller then ended the post-prandial
oratory by reading a serious paper on BAL
more Washington Advertising Contrasted."
A short business meeting followed, and a
vote of thanks was rendered Colonel A. NJ.
Bliss for the hosptable way in which the
club was entertained.
The members then took the coach for
home. and on the way back all agreed that
the Overlook Inn dinner was an unquali-
fed success.
