ATLANTIC CITY. June II. 1910.
Lovers of ''ye succulent oyster will be
glad to know that Atlantic City and At
lantic county are doing their full duty in
regard to them just now. for, as the result
OF the passing Of recent laws, barren oys
ter beds of this countys bays and rivers
have been planted with 10000 bushels OF
oyster shells. and twenty thousand dol
lars worth of oyster seeds have been
carried to the oyster beds and newly
opened oyster grounds. Oystermen say
that 1t will create such a boom in the
industry that Atlantic City will be placed
IN the first rank OF oyster producers
along the coast.
Atlantic City is rejoicing in the bright
prospects OF the aviation meet which is
now seemingly assured for July , to July
I'D, inclusive. Hotel and business men
have offered $500 for prizes, and Glen
III. Curtiss. who has been spending the
week end here. has accepted an iavita-
ton to be one Of the contestants

achievements new in aviation, Will be
under the auspices of the Atlantic City
Aero Club, and will be contested on a
course measuring two miles and a half.
lying directly off the ends OF the piers
and over the waters Of the ocean.
Besides exhibitions of control and speed,
short dashes, etc, which Will be con-
tested every day of the meet. Glen II.
Curtiss will attempt the feat of alighting
on the waters Of the ocean and then get
start again from his unstable starting
platform.
One Of the most interesting features
will be a fifty-mile continuous flight over
the ocean. The highest record is forty
two miles over the English channel, when
but two turns were necessary. twenty
turns will have to be made in the At
lantic City race, an achievement which
will make a. new record in aviation.
