OYSTER AND FISH NOTES.

The oysterindustfy about Cape Charles
is suffering from the presence ofthe "green
gill" Although this defect in color does
not affect the taste of the oyster it
retards its sale in the markets.
Shucking-houses are making unusually
large shipments OF oysters, as they are
greatly in demand. Tongers are getting
40 cents per bushel, but sbuckers are
only able to I'LL part of their orders.
Lloyd Hale. of Wheaton, buying oys-
ters for Long 4 Co.'s packing house at
Irvington, has in his possession hard
crab to whose eye-socket young oyster
about the size of ones thumb, has at
taehed itself. Both are thriving, but the
crab cannot protrude his eye.
Oyster packers on the Rappahannock
are going through a disastrous season.
Eagerness on the part of some buyers
have put prices up so high that it leaves
the shocking houses no margin. While
the seller is being temporarily benefited,
it is only for the time being. Every house
means that much decline in our future
trade.
Garrett L Hunt, have just completed
and put into successful operation gaso-
line dredge boat. The boat was designed
and built by W. +. Ward, of Urbanna.
She is named the Crescent" and has a
gross tonnage of fourteen tons and seven
tons net. The Crescent is installed with
a gasoline marine engine and automatic
hosting machinery. 1t is the first OF it's
kind on the Rappahannock.
AN EXCITING RACE AND CAPTURE.
One day last week Inspector Hardy in
patroling his beat off Weems noticed two
oyster longing canoes off the mouth of
the Corrotoman river rapidly making sail
and heading up the Corrotoman river
He headed for them to see why they were
in such a hurry, as it was midday and a
good day for longing. U. S. Inspector
Forsyth was with Mr.. Hardy for little
fresh air. Mr.. Forsyth was at the wheel,
and Mr.. Hardy at the engine, both strung
to the highest pitch of excitement, for the
breeze was fresh and the canoes under
full sail-one man pulling and another
sculling with all their power 1t looked
as il the canoes would win the race, but
under the skillful management of Mr..
Forsyth at the wheel and the energetic
Inspector coaxing the engine. she slowly
but surely gained on the canoes. They
selected one, and after chase of six
or seven miles drew alongside and asked
the fleeing oysterman why he was in such
hurry. The oystermau and the colored
tonger were out of breath and painting
like bellows with the perspiration pour
ing from their faces. Hazard said that
the man rowing was sick and had to be
taken home. Mr.. Hardy examined his
oysters and the pile showed clearly that
they had been culled over by the culling
boy while the other two were trying to
out race the gasoline boat. He imposed a
fine of so for losing the race Hazard
finally admitted that he had violated the
Gull law. Mr.. Hardy went after the
other canoe, but he had disappeared
Any way he found out the mans name
and he was caught with small oysters.
