A SIGNAL TRIUMPH.

Among the various statutes passed
by the recent General Assembly none
/. will be so far-reaching in its nature,
and we believe so benihcent in its
effects as the Hannah Oyster bill.
During the fifteen years struggle for
an oyster leasing law the work has
seemed most discouraging at times,
and any but a brave leader with the
courage of his convictions, the know
ledge of a specialist and the tact of a
skillful barrister, would have long
since FALLEN by the wayside.' But
the very campaigns of delay and dis
appointment have been highly con-
ducive of ultimate success, since they
have educated the whole people, in
GLIDING the tide water counties where
resistance was most savage, to the
unwisdom of further neglecting much
of our most valuable public domain.
Today all see that it is no wiser for
a state than it is for an individual to
leave uncultivated large portion of
its territory richly endowed by
nature, and a law has been passed
which is heartily endorsed by those
most directly affected. The most
serious opposition heretofore has
hinged around the definition of a
natural bed" the present law omits
all definition, assigning to COM
mission especially provided for the
task the duty of making out by sur
veys, the natural beds and bars from
which the growers are excluded.
The personnel of the board of shell
fish commissioners will go farther
towards guaranteeing the success or
failure of the law than will any other
element; and it is the sincere hope of
every good citizen that its members
will be as big in breadth of mind,
soundness ofprinciples, and complete
ness of business ability as will be their
opportunity to increase the resources
of the State.
1t will not be wise to expect SUBJ
stantial returns to the State for sew
eral years; considerable time must
elapse between planting and harvest,
whether it be on land above or below
the water; that valuable returns will
follow, however, is as certain as that
they have to every oyster-producing
state along our coast. Indeed, it is
only because we have the best oyster
waters of the globe that it has been
possible to ward off the day so long
without complete destruction of the
industry.
1t is with no small degree of pride
that Hartford county is able to recall
that some of the best work for the
cause has been done by her people,
and that from start to finish in our
legislative halls her representatives
have done most valuable work for
the law.

to take part in the fall races. which
are expected TO eclipse the Vanderbilt
cup automobile race on Long Island.
Recently the English Aero club held
race from Ranelagh to Ingatestone
in Essex, in which seven balloons COM
peted. Frank Butler in the Dolce Far
Niente won, though owing to light
winds he lacked nine miles Of reaching
the goal Several ladies were pas
sengers in the craft which took part
in the race.
Like most society fads that of bal.
looming started in that dear Paris"
whence it speedily flew to England and
then across the Atlantic. OF the Brit
ish advocates of the new sport no one
is more enthusiastic than Professor
y. X. Huntington of Kings college,
who is also Il celebrated authority on
dirigible airShips. He looks upon bal
looming as healthy. invigorating sport
and one which should be encouraged
in every possible way.
"Of course ballooniug will continue"
he says. We mean to make it do SO.
We have had a good deal of hard work
TO elevate the sport to its present pros
porous condition. but the tide has
turned and people are taking up the
idea all over the country. Serious
danger has been eliminated. In charge
Of man with cool head and reason

as safe as an automobile, if not safer.
Personally ain very partial to night
trips in balloon. 1t seems to me that
conditions are then more favorable,
that the air is more refreshing and the
views TO be obtained more captivating.
1t IS curious how refreshed feel after
night ascent, and other people know
have had the same experience"

place in the character of our business

with the change In our business
the science Of balloon construction has
advanced until we have conquered
every cause Of danger We look upon
the balloonlng craze as useful in every
sense. 1t is healthy sport and free
