Lobster Question the Main Topic of Discussion Fog Delays Fishing Fleet.

The lobster question and the out come of the special meeting of the Fisher1nen's Protective association is the principal topic for conversation in, application which has to be signed by thei fishermen before the receipt of their permit from the state consider them in the right In giving this mat ter due consideration before placing their name to the application. Others contend that there is no reason why the laws of the state should not be compiled with.
 The question of artificial propagation of Iobsters is also being discussed. It has been the general opinion that more Satisfactory results would be obtained in the development of the young fish if the egg lobster was returned to the water as soon as caught. letting nature take it's course. That this is the opin- ion in other places is proved by des- patch from St. Johns. Newfoundland, which says.
 This island is the greatest breeding place for Holsters in the world. Of the $10,000,000 spent each year for Holsters Newfoundland receives nearly $1,00O- ble export of live Holsters. and her whole product is timed. Fresh lob- sters at cents apiece are common in Newfoundland during the summer.
 Some 5000 900 pounds of holsters are exported every year. Allowing that each lobster yields four ounces of meat" this represents a kill of 12,- o00, GOO annually. but fully 50 per cent. must be added for meatles1, diseased and immature ones, which the traps contain, and which are thrown outside the canneries to perish.
 Tn the artificial propagation of lob- sters 1t takes i've years to raise one pound of the meat" because not more than two or three Holsters come to maturity out of 10000 eggs pro- duced. The adult female lubet6r breeds every two years, and 1t takes six for the progeny to attain natu- rity.
 An American biologist holds that all the legislation of the world today for the protection of 1obsters is wrong end foremost He says that we are catch ing the wrong 1obsters; that the adult. Or large, lobster IS the one that should be protected and left for breeding. He argues that the decline of the supply

MORGAN DEFEATED.
w. H. s. Wins Wednesdays Game by .
 Score of 10 to 5.

4 fair sized bunch of fans gathered on Windham field Wednesday after noon and saw Windham High school administer a defeat to the Morgan school nine of Clinton at baseball in a rather loosely played and Hst1ess sort of game by the score of 10-3. This was Windhams s first league game.
 Play was pretty ragged in spots by both teams and both teams were so weak that they were fairly we'll match ed The local nine showed the most knowledge of inside ball and pulled off a number of plays that were very clever for so early in the season.
 Keirans played a fine game at sec- ond base and CoIburn showed up strongly at short and Leonard's s throw ing was good. The visitors were a clean cut and quiet crowd of boys and played a nice clean game throughout. as did the local boys. John J. c. Stone of Norwich handled the in dicator and gave fairly good satisfaction to both teams, although he was trife raw on few decisions, which fortunately had no material bearing upon the game.
 The complete tabulated score fol- lowing gives a concise idea of the way the entire game was played:
