 A dealer in fish said to-day that he does not expect there will be as many clambakes this summer as there was last season. Clambakes. he said, were fast becoming the only Sunday form of outing when the hard times came. and put a damper on what was a promising recreation. He said also that the cost of a tick ct to whatever clambakes will be given, will, in all probability be re- duced to meet the state of the times. On this feature of clambakes, it can be said, that the cost of such enter tainment kept more than the pace with the cost of other things edi- ble. In the space of five years clambakes that cost only s1 a head doubled their price and did not add an additional attraction, either in the bill of fare or the bill of sports, while on the other hand the work of preparing a clambake was great ly minimized by the introduction of new appliances and the wholesale cost of the menu was not advanced to any great extent. So it seems that clambakes will be on a par with every other kind of outdoor enter tainment this summer.
