N61 for the production ut the new
armory of grand opera The
stage will be fitted UP with
scenery, carried by the company. The
company contains strong principals
and fine chorus. The production of
grand opera at the armory has been
well received by some of our prominent
musicians to whom the matter has
been presented. The time has been set
for the first week in April. Further
news announcements will appear in II
few days.
If the city interest in Paderewskrs

the out of town excitement, the new
armory will be scarcely adequate for

an artist to sing in it upon any terms,
and for an American girl to have a long
contract at the start for leading parts

The Paris Opera House is wonderfully
beautiful. 1t cost a million dollars more
than our national library building at

On account of the heavy freshets last
year many seed oysters. which this year
would have been edible, were killed.
Prices this season will exceed those Of
any previous year.
While the oysters are now soft and
lean, it is believed the general run later
will come up to the standard. The catch
on the ocean side Of Accomac and North
ampton counties and in parts of the Poto-
mac river will be fine. Oysters in the
Rappahannock are believed not to be up
to the standard. The supply in James

purposes in other places. Some seed
oysters are even going out of the State
