Captains And Crews Ont On First
Week OF Oys,er-Dret sins--Out-
look For Future Promising.

The oyster packers and dredgers
are looking forward 20 one of the
best seasons in the history of this
industry in Cambridge. For the past
several weeks the owners of boats
have been busy having repairs made
and getting ready for the opening
day, which was yesterday. Today
there are not half of a dozen boats
in the harbor, every owner having
made a desperate effort to have his
boat in readiness for the beginning
of the season, in order that no time
might be lost.
A number of the captains visite;-
Baltimore last week and arranged
with their crews to be in Cambridge
not later than the first of this week,
as a consequence of which nearly all
of the shipped men arrived in town
Saturday, the rest of them coming
Monday. The cool weather is very
encouraging to the FISHERMAN, who
finds the market better for his pro-
ducts than when the days are-warm.
