The appeal presented in another col
umn by the president of the oyster
league of Chincoteague to those en-
gagged in the oyster business on the
seaside to organize into leagues for the
better protection of their interests,
should not only be needed but active
steps taken at once looking to that end
The appeal is of especial interest to all
opposed to the breaking Of the Baylor
survey and earnest, vigilant effort Is
demanded at once, now that the Leg
islative commission is in our waters, 10
the end that information may be fur
nished them which will enable them
to arrive at an intelligent conclusion
in making up their report to the mex
Legislature. That they should act a
once the following from a correspon
dent accompanying them on thel
cruise needs only to be quoted:
"Yet the committee is convinced,
think, that there have already beel
found beds which the State should
rent. 1t seems to be the opinion tina
if the oyster beds which are worn on
or have become hopelessly depleted
through violations Of the Gull law, o
the law prohibiting the taking OF oys
tiers at certain seasons, are ever to b
made productive again it must be &C
complished through renting them on
under conditions requiring the rente
put down certain number Of bushel
of shells year on all the lands n
rents"
Regarding as most of the oystermel
do the Baylor survey as "their buI
wark and defense" they need not b
told. that there will be no limit to tn
entertainments which will be mad
upon the natural oyster beds if tn
survey is once broken, and that 1t
their duty to so inform the commissio
that they will see the injustice
breaking the survey and so report
the Legislature.

The twenty-siXth annual fair OF the
Eastern Shore Agricultural Assocla-
ton, which has just closed, was one OF
the most successful in the history OF
that organization and no one present
could doubt that the "old fair, though
the oldest in the State, has still long
lease of life. That conclusion is justl-
fled by the large number in attendance
daily and to the many expressions OF
kind words for Its continued success
on every hand. The people, in fact,n
only by words but by their acts showed
that they proposed to see that 1t con-
tinued to live and flourish. To that
end every department was full OF eX-
cellent exhibits-the space assigned to
the ladies so full that it was impossible
to give them the display they deserved
the products in the agricultural de
partment so well up to the standard OF
excellence as to command the praise
of everyone-and only little less
praise is due poultry, stock and other
things on exhibition. In word the
people responded so literally to the APP
peal of the authorities for exhibits, that
the fair would have been success, II II
had had no other attractive features
That there was much more though tC
please all within its gates can hardly
be questioned. Good music, innocent
amusements, the spacious and vel
shaded grounds and the excellent or
der which prevailed throughout thu
fair, together with the opportunity
presented for the meeting of friends
gave an interest to the fair which coulC
hardly fail to be appreciated and en-
joyed by all present. Under the excel
lent management which it now Is
there is no doubt it will continue t
grow in popular favor and be in ever.
way creditable to our people. Wit
the success attending it this year, W
at least make no mistake in sayln
that the fair will be held again mex
August.

With Reliance less than mile from
the finish and Shamrock Ill, hull
down on the horizon, fully two miles
astern of the gallant defender, the
fourth race of the present series for the
American cup Thursday was declared
off because of the expiration Of the
time limit of five and one hall hour,
as happened on Thursday of last week.
Had the wind freshened twenty min
utes earlier than it did, the cup series
would have ended Thursday with
three straight wins for the defender.
