sion have until May /, under the agree
ment between Maryland and Virginia to
protect the oyster growth, in which to
dispose of them. After that time the
fisheries law says that any one found
guilty of violating this any of the
other provisions of the law shall be
fined not less than fifty or more than five
hundred dollars for each offenSe, and the
vessel together with its equipment and
cargo, used in violating any such pro-
visions shall be forfeited to the state.
The fact that the oyster season closes
tomorrow does not mean that oysters
will not be or sale at this city. While
there will be but few oyster-laden ves-
sells arriving, those who wish oysters
can obtain them in plenty, as they Will
be brought here in barrels from private
beds about Norfolk and from other
points in Maryland and Virginia. The
authorities now say that fresh oysters
are no more unheaIthful in summer than
they are in winter, ana they are eaten
