Beating Season Signal Given by
Capital Yacht Club.

Officially the BOATING, season on the
Potomac opened yesterday afternoon
for the Capital Yacht Club but il will
really be several days before any num-
Der of boats will be in service. The
opening gun of the season was fred at
= pm, and at the same time the club
nag was run up on the clubhouse foot
of 9Th street southwest. This with the
night signal will be constantly display
ed from now until November ], when
the season is officially closed A num-
Der of the members of the club were
present at the ceremonies and a lunch
con followed.
Work is being pushed on the over
hauling of the boats of the club MEM
bers and they will be put in readiness
for service as soon possible. The
high price of gasoline will keep
number of the local pleasure craft
from going into commission. and those
that do resume service will make but
few joy rides down the river on after
moons this summer. In past years
many pleasure craft owners on hot
afternoons went aboard their boats for
runs of three or four hours. The COM
ing summer the boats will be kept at
the wharves, and the owners will spend
their spare time aboard them lying at
anchor instead of cruising.

REPORT OYSTERS PLENTIFUL.
Dealers Have Ample Supply at
Wharf for Customers.

Visitors to the wharf market today
for the weekly supply of freshly
shucked oysters should find no trouble
in having their wants supplied. Late
Yesterday afternoon there were about
1000 bushels of oysters aboard the
vessels at the wharf market. and there
is every prospect that boat or two
will be in this morning.
All the stock aboard the vessels at the
wharf is fresh and of good quality. and
oyster lovers will be able to enjoy their
feasts. Shuckers will be on hand, as
usual, to open oysters for those who
do not care to do the work for them
selves. The increase in the supply of
shad and herring and the drop in prices
have affected the oyster market, the de-
mand in the past two or three days
being nothing like as brisk as 1t was
early in the week. The oyster season
will run until the end Of this month.
