in the order named.
With regard to the shore and boat
fisheries. the four leading species -oys-
tiers, crabs, shad, and alewives-aggre-
gated 81, 019, 900 pounds, or 81 per cent.
of the total product. and their combined
value was 81, 226, 900, or ss per cent. of
the total.
Oysters alone contributed SO per cent.
to the total value of products Of the ves-
sci fisheries and 81 per cent. to the total
value of products of the shore and boat
fisheries. OF the value of the Maryland
oyster products 81 per cent. was reported
by the vessel fisheries and SO per cent.
by the shore and boat fisheries.
Practically the entire catch of men,
haden was made by vessels. With the
exception of oysters and menhaden, the
catch by vessels was small, compared
with that of the shore and boat fisher
les.
The products of the shore and boat
fisheries of the Chesapeake Bay district,
in the aggregate amounted to SO, 247, 900
pounds, having value of 81, 42O. 600.
All but per cent. Of the total values
of products were taken with dredges
and tongs, pounds and trap nets, gill
nets, seines and lines.
On account of the large oyster catch,
dredges and tongs are by far the most
important apparatus of capture in both
the vessel and the shore and boat fish
cries of Chesapeake Bay; but in the
Atlantic Ocean fisheries the largest
catch was credited to pound and trap
nets. For the fisheries of the state
pound and trap nets are second in impor-
tance as apparatus of capture. and are
used for taking large number of spe-
cies.
Alewives made up the bulk of the
catch, contributing SO per cent. of the
total weight and 80 per cent. of the total
value; shad stood second. following
closely in value, although the weight OF
this product was only one. fifteenth as
great as that of the alewife catch; and
squeteague was third.
The oyster product of Maryland for
1908 was substantially greater than that
for 1904, but less than that for 1897.
The yield for 1904 was abnormally small,
fact attributed by some authorities to
the two exceptionally cold winters just
preceding. which killed many of the
oysters. The value of the product, how
ever, steadily decreased from 81, 1856, 900
in 1897 to S2,4ls.00O in 1904 and ST.
22S, 600 in 1908. This decrease of $685.

The Clerical Corriere d'Italia, which

fishes an important interview with the
Albanian chief, Sokol Beg Batcho. who
has been for several years an exile in
Montenegro, where he is now living
and whence he is directing the Albanian
insurrection. This old warrior. who is
"a familiar figure at Cettinje, formulates
the demands Of the Albanians as fol-
lows:
The administrative autonomy Of the
four vilayets. which contain an Albanian
population under an Albanian or
European governor general: European
control for number Of years, until
the new autonomous province has been
placed upon definite footing: the use
of the Albanian language, with Latin
characters, in all official documents;
the expenditure of all sums raised as
taxes from the Albanians within
Albania itself, and the restriction of
military service to the Albanian dis
tricts only. so that no Arnaut may be
sent to do his term of soldering In the
Yemen, as Is now the case.

The name Of the Playground Associa-

sion last evening by a unanimous vote
of the attending delegates to the rlay-

about through the efforts of the associa-
