OYSTERS IN DEMAND.
Increased Sales at the Wharf Since
Cool Weather Began.

The cool weather of the past two or
three days has had an enlivening effect
on the oyster market at the 18th street
wharf, and the bivalves. which had been
selling but slowly. are in fairly good de-
mand AS consequence the supply
aboard the vessels at the wharf market
is becoming small. Only one vessel has
arrived with oysters aboard in the thirty
six hours ending last night. Several
schooners are on their way and are ex-
pected in port today.
The sloop Enola, Capt. Hayden. which
arrived here yesterday afternoon, made
a quick round trip from this city to tho
Potomac oyster beds and back. Tuesday
afternoon last she left the 18th street
wharf, and yesterday about :; pm. she
was at the wharf market with several
hundred bushels of oysters aboard. Inc
fact that she is equipped with gasoline
power and is independent of winds anu
tides enabled her to mae good time.
OYSTERS at the wharf this morning were
selling at from ~ 10 30 cents per bushei.
There have been no arrivals or melon
laden craft for several days. but num-
Der of melon-laden schooners are re-
ported on their way to this port and are
expected to arrive this afternoon.

EXHIBIT OPEN SUNDAY
At NATIONAL MUSEUM
Management Proposes to Give
Public Every Opportunity
to View Curios.

Sunday opening of the National Mu-
scum is an assured thing. Some time this
fall the plan VIII be put in operation.
The new museum building certainly will
be available on Sunday to the public. 1t
is most probable that the old structure
will observe the same Sunday schedule.
The opening hours, at first, will be in
the afternoon. Not TO interfere with
church services. there will he at no time
morning opening on Sunday. Later, it is
likely, the museum will throw open its
doors during the evening.
All plans are at present tentative, ex-
cept that the time is not far off when
Sunday opening will be a fact. In the
beginning, the afternoon period of open
ing will be as long as the management
of the museum can arrange. Darkness
will not interfere with the term, as light
ing facilities are adequate.
Purposes of the Management.
Director Richard Rathbun discussed the
plans for opening, saying that the man
agement of the museum was anxious TO
afford the greatest opportunity to the
public to view the collection on exhibit.
Nothing further than the decision to keep
open Sunday afternoons, as soon as pos
sible, had been arranged, although the
subject was under general consideration,
he said.
Delay in Sunday opening is occa sioned,
he explained, by the fact that a great
part of the exhibit space is yet vacant
due largely to the need of furniture and
cases in which to display the various
items of the collection. When the mu-
scum could present, in the new building,
what could be considered adequate at
fractions for big Sunday crowds, it would
be kept open
The new building is to be devoted en-
tirely to exhibits of natural science in
Guiding prehistoric relics and the habits
of primitive man. Exhibits of the arts
and industries are to be confined to the
old structure.
Acres of Floor Space
Five acres of floor space in the new
building, half the capacity of the new
building are to be given over to exhibits
and the public. The remainder is needed
for administration purposes and for the
heating and lighting plants. There is
about half this floor space in the older
structure available for exhibition pur-
poses.
The collection in the old building is to
be gradually rearranged. with the thin
ming out OF the collection due to re-
moval of a great part of It to the new
building. without in any way interfering
with the privileges of sightseers. There
is to be no closing of the building during
the Encouragement process.
