Town Made Famous by Oysters.

The oyster season at Colchester,
England, was opened with quaint cere-
monies. The mayor and corporation
traversed the fishery grounds in
dredger and the mayor made the first
haul of oysters. The mayor and cor
poration then consumed gin and GIN
ger-bread-a custom which has pre-
vailed since the fishery was first
opened under royal charter in the
reign of Richard |. A telegram ex-
pressing dutiful devotion was sent to
the king at a luncheon afterwards on
Peewit island. The early Saxons so
appreciated the Colchester fishery that
they took three oyster knives for their
arms. and this device still forms the
arms of the county Of Essex. The
Colchester fishery lost all their con-
tinental customers during the war.
hut the British public consumed all
that they could supply. They had
most successful seasons. and were able
to give 10000 oysters to military hos
pitfalls.
