OYSTERS MUCH IN DEMAND.
Vessels Laden With Nearly 5000
Bushels Quickly Sell Out.

Though vessels laden with nearly 5000
bushels of oysters arrived at the 11th
street wharf market Sunday and yester-
day morning, the unusually heavy de-
mand now prevailing for oysters caused
them to sell out before dark last night
and this morning most of the fleet We're
on their way to the lower river to load
back to this city.
Handlers of oysters at the wharf say
that the demand this season has been
unprecedented and that it is seldom that
vessels bringing oysters to this market
have to remain in port more than twen-
ty-four hours to dispose of their cargoes.
The high cost of meat and the fact that
oyster lovers are getting over their fear
of the Potomac oyster being contami-
mated is assigned reason for the
heavy demand for sea food. While the
demand for home-shucked oysters has
increased. that for oysters shucked away
from here and shipped to this market
in tubs is falling off.

CONCRETE ARCH BRIDGE
is ADDED TO zoo PARK
Structure Over Rock Creek, Which
Cost $4,000, Is Opened
to Traffic.

Another attraction has been added to
Washington's system of park driveways
in the completion of a reinforced concrete
arch bridge spanning Rock creek in
Geological Park in the line of the Adams
Mill road entrance to the park.
Designed in the Office of the District
engineer of bridges, D. Z. McCoomb tine
bridge. for which Congress appropriated
$4,000, was thrown open to traffic last
Saturday. 1t was built under the super
vision of W. A. Draper, assistant engi-
neer of bridges who also prepared the
specifications. which were approved by
Mr.. McCoomb.
Total Width Thirty-Six Feet.
1t has a clear span of eighty feet and
two six-foot sidewalks and a twenty
four-foot roadway. which gives the
structure a total width of thirty-six
feet.
Work on the Improvement began last
June following the removal of the old
log bridge at this point which had been
in service for twenty years. The bridge
is faced with rough Potomac blue stone
taken from the quarries of the Potomac
river on the Virginia side, above Wash
ington. The present roadway and side
walks provided are of temporary con-
struction, but will be permanently i'm
proved in the spring. The bridge is
under the jurisdiction of the Smithsonian
Institution.
