A lobster, called green" but very
blue, is on exhibition in the Brownel

street. This lobster was brought
Tuesday from Boothbay Harbor by
Lester Brownell, one of the proprie-
tors, WHO also brought back other
Holsters and fish. This particular
lobster which is certainly a splen-
did shade of Harding blue. was very
much alive upon arrival in this city
He attracted no small amount of at
tention as he reclined on a bed oil
ice in the display window of the
store. He was bluest under his
claws and on the sides of his shell
but he was a pronounced blue al
over at that. Mr.. Brownell says that
the man who sold this lobster has
handled these crustaceans for &c
years and this is the second blue lob
ster he has caught. The other blue
one was sent to the Worlds Fair, sc
they are pretty rare
