FEW BOATS ARE LAID UP.
Continued Favorable Weather Keeps
Pleasure Craft in Commission.

Continued favorable weather has
made pleasure craft owners delay in
placing their boats out of service and
each Sunday many of them leave for
short trips on the river. 1t has been
many years since the yachtsmen in
this section of the country have had
such. fine fall weather for boating and
many have placed small heating stoves
on their boats so that they can go down
the river and remain over night if they
wish. The launches Bohemia, belong
ing to Capt. Hart a ndothers, and Po-
cantico, belonging to Capt. Harry Ions
dale, left yesterday afternoon for over
Sunday runs TO down river points and
today most of the pleasure fleet will be
out for trips during the sunshiny hours
of the day.
The steam yacht Gaivota, belonging
to John R. DosPassos of New York, is
on a cruise to the country place of her
owner. on the Potomac in Westmore-
land county, Va, and will probably re-
turn home in the early part of this

BUOY THE FISHING GROUNDS.
Lighthouse Service Officials at Work
Along Chesapeake BaY Shore.

The lighthouse service steamer Jessa
| mine. which is employed in marking the
fishing grounds along the western shore
Of Chesapeake bay territory under the
control of the United States engineer
officer at this city, last week completed
buoying the line outside of which the
nets must not come. from Sandy point
to Point Lookout. This week she will
complete the marking of the line from
Point Lookout to Wolf Trap. near the
mouth of the Rappahannock river.
For several years complaints have been
made that the fishermen were extending
their nets out In the bay to the extent
that they were interfering with naviga-
ton. Off the mouth of the Potomac,
in the spring fishing season. the nets
were so close and thick that sailing
craft had difficulty in working their way
through them. and shad and herring
were effectually stopped from coming
to their spawning grounds in the vicin-
ity of this city.
1t is thought that the new regula-
tons will put stop to these conditions
and the engineer officers here and at
Baltimore will have steamers to sse that
the regulations are observed.

SCRIBES ARE GOOD SOLDIERS.
Col. Wilder Would Like a Regiment
of Newspaper Men.

That the twenty-five newspaper men
Of Washington who are receiving mill
tary training one night a week and
Sundays are proving apt pupils is the
statement of Col. Wilbur E. Wilder, who
is in charge of them when they are
learning tactics at Fort Myer.
The newspaper men are enthusiastic
over the work. They are enlisted for
thirty weeks on the condition that they
take armory instruction one night a
week and field training Sundays.
''The correspondents are proving to
be very apt pupils" said Col. Wilder.
Il believe that their experience in
the newspaper business is such that it
is much easier to hold their attention
than that of men engaged in other lines
of business. From my limited expert
ence with them 1 am convinced that a
regiment of newspaper men, with the
proper training, would make a great
fighting organization"

OYSTERS ARE PLENTIFUL,
Visitors to Wharves Today Will
Find Stock of Good Quality.

There are oysters of all kinds and
plenty of them at the 11th street wharf
market, and oyster lovers, who today
pay their weekly visit to the oyster
wharf, will have no trouble in getting
all they want and of good quality. Late
yesterday afternoon there were nine
vessels lying at the wharf, and it was
estimated that they had aboard between
$500 and 1000 bushels of oysters, a sup
ply large enough to meet the demand
of today three or four times over.
The Stacking off in the wholesale de-
mand has causd a drop in prices, and
yesterday the best grade of oysters
could be bought at about so cents a
bushel. From that price the figures
dropped to As cents a bushel for good
Potomac stock: Prices today, 1t is said,
will be but slightly higher than those
of yesterday. Some of the smaller
boats at the wharf have bay oysters
aboard. but the majority of them are
, loaded with good stock from the lower
Potomac beds.
