There are two reasons contributory ‘

tame which caused most of the local I
oystermen to lose money in the busi

natural result <if the presence in lurge
quantities of the parasitic mussels.
So far only one of the local oyster
house* seems to have done any con- i
(iderablo amount of longing. This is j
the concern of the William McNasby
Company, of Kastport. Several of the j
lungers sent out by this company have j
made fair catches of oysters off Tolley j

To those who have not had the op

which the mussels attach themselver
to the oysters a realization of the dam

is almost impossible. An oyster of
mrage size, say four inches long and

IN NAVAL ACADEMY
KNOCKABOUT RACES
Several protests enlivened the
naval officers’ knockabout race, which
was sailed yesterday afternoon. Com
mander “Abe” Claude finished first,
but was disqualified for going the
, wrong way ’round the course. Lieut.-
‘ Commander A. M. R. Allen, who was
the first to cross the line sailing the
right way of the course, got into
* trouble at the start and his race may
also be disqualified. Commander
Charles C. Soule was the third to
finish and first to cross the line with no
protests about his race. Commander
H. D. Cooke and Lieut.-Commander
Roy C. Smith were the next in order
i to finish.
There will be two more races be
fore the season closes. Interest in
j them is keen as the competition for
l first and second places is very close—
Commander Claude leads with 105
points and is followed by Commander
Soule with a score of 102. while
Lieut.-Commanders Allen and R. C
Smith and Comander Cooke are tieing
for third place with 85 points apiece

FIREMEN RESPOND TO
EARLY MORNING ALARM
BUT DISCOVER NO FIRE
What proved to be a false alarm of
fire was sounded here at 3:15 a. m.,
and within a few minutes after the
alarm had been turned in, five pieces
of fire apparatus: had assembled in the
vicinity of Northwest and Calvert
streets. Investigation by the firemen
showed that no one in the vicinity
knew anvthing about the supposed
fire.
The alarm, it is said, was tele
phoned in at the above-mentioned
hour, and all of the city’s fire com
panies quickly responded to the call
Screeching of the fire “siren” also
brought many Annapolitans out ot
their restful slumbers.
According to the firemen, this is
only one of several false alarms that
have been turned in of comparatively
recent date, and {hey naturally arc
indignant over this latest bit of mean
ness. Strict investigation of this
I morning’s false-alarm. they contend
| should be made, and whoever was re
i sponsible for it should be held to
| strict accountability.
CINDERS TO BE PUT ON
GORMAN AND CLAY STS.
The City Council has appropriated

vided for. Cinders also will be placed
by the city on Clay street, between
Brewer and Ridout streets.
Catch-basins have been ordered by
the City Council to be installed on
Loth sides of Clay, corner of Brewer

The Fire Department Committee
has been authorized by the city tr
purchase 1,000 feet of additional fire
hose, bids for which will be adver
