Satisfactory Practice

The practice of the navy team
against the scrub yesterday afternoon
was most satisfactory, a new arrange
ment of backs showing the greatest
ground gaining powers of the season.
Capt Farley, who was injured in the
Pennsylvania State game on Saturday,
was in football togs and went through
signals, but did not line up. Howard,
left end, is in the hospital with a
badly scratched leg, but will be in the
game in q few days. Smith. the
chunky guard, who has gained ground
regularly the whole year, has been
placed at full and the change works
we'll. Doherty and Spencer, both
fast and fairly heavy men, are the
halves. and Grady, right tackle, CON
tinues to gain ground whenever called
upon. Altogether the navy's attack
has gained 80 per cent. in the last
few days. and the general progress
gives much encouragement.

pointed teacher of the Ninth Grade

TO be keen and spirited. Nine addi-
tional prizes have been offered for the
seconds and thirds in the contests

Midshipman l.. w. Townsend, man
ager of the team, has written to all of

Had To Suspend Operations

The work on the building of the
new Annapolis Savings Institution
has been Obliged TO suspend owing to
the delay in receiving the necessary
material. The material that has fail
ed to arrive in time is the terra Gotta
brick and iron work for the front of
the bauk. A delay in the receipt of
all building material is being exper-
fenced everywhere by contractors at
work on large buildings.
The Baltimore fire and rebuilding of
that section of the city has created
such demand for building materials
that the supply can scarcely equal it
there and in other cities where build
ing is in progress. Much delay has
also been caused in the completion of
the work on the State House for scar
city of necessary building material

OYSTERS ON THE BOOM.
Bivalves of Large Size Are Re
ceived BY The c. w.
Martin Co.

Some of the largest oysters ever re-
ceived at this port were secured this
morning by q. w. Martin g. CO.
Most of them were salt water and
some were as long as eight inches
They were particularly fat and large
and shucked out to very good advan-
tage in spite of the fact that mussels
were present in large numbers.
The largest cargo was brought in by
the Hamlet, a large bugeye owned by
Captain Eaton. The Hamlet is a
"buy' boat and brought in over $50
bushels, which were secured in the
neighborhood of Easton Bay. Captain
Eaton reported that the catches are
very large and that practically no
damage is being done by the mussels.
He said that the tongers are making
good money on the bars and that the
tail end of the season is sure to be
more prolific of good catches than was
the opening.
The Anna Matilda, Captain Will
Jams, dredger, also came in with a
good cargo of prime oysters. They
were fully as large as those of the
other cargo and showed good and red.
The cargo contained over one hundred
bushels in spite of the fact that Cap
tain Williams had been having trouble
with his crew. One of the members
of the crew was so anxious to be re-
leased from his contract that he
bought his release for s.. Captain
Williams was of the impression he
would have to sign an entire new
crew.
A large number of batteau were out
on the bars this morning in spite of
the threatening weather. A few re-
turned after a short time on the bars
with fair catches
