OYSIERMEN 111 MEET
. Special-Meeting of the Oyster
Growers Association to
Consider the Pro-
posed Laws.
To Be Held Next Week.
Notices were issued yesterday by
President Henry C. Rowe of the Con-1
necticut Oyster Growers’ association
calling a Special meeting of that associa-
tion in the Atlantic hotel in Bridgeport
next Wednesday afternoon. The pur-
pose of the meeting is to discuss meas-
uree afiecting the oyster growers which
hav 3 been introdu red in the general
aw mbly and to the asiociaticn Will be
re». . 1rding them. '
11 large number of bills aimed at the
oyrter growers have been introduced in
the general assembly this year concern-
ing which most of the ovstoi growers
have little knowledge. Most of these
measures are regarded as unimportant
but there are a few which demand the
attention of the growers and some of
winch may compel them to take steps
to defend themselves.
The most important measure yet in-
troduced, has been the bill providing
that the oyster business in this state
shall be subject to the jurisliction of
the boards of health in the various lo-
calities. So far as known the bill does
not specify the manner in which this
jurisdiction shall be exercised nor how
it shall be limited.
It is because of this that the oyster-
men are becoming distrustle of it. It
is expected that this matter will occupy
the great part of the attention of the
meeting of the assomation.
The oystermen believed the intent of
the billto be to prevent the laying of oys-
ters in the Quinnipiac river at Fair Ha-
ven. Of course it would apply to similar
methods in other parts of the state if
enacted;~ but the motive which prompt-
edits presentation to the general assem-
bly is understood'to have been-a desire
to prevent the use of the Quinnipiac
. river, particularly.
It is the custom of the oystermeu in
Fair Haven to bring the oysters in
from outside grounds and dump them
in the Quinnipiac and allow them to
remain there fora day or two in the
fresh water. This is an advantage
which the Fair Haven men will be
averse to losing as the fresh water
makes the oysters open up better.
They may decide to oppose the enact-
ment of the bill.

AMUSEMEN I'S
Conroy 81. Fox.
The Conroy & Fox company of come-
dians will be seen here at Hoyt’s Thea—
tre, this afternoon and evening, in their
ludicrous success, “O’Flarity’s Vaca-
tion,” the Comedy in which they scored
a big hit last season. The play is said
to have been written for laughing pur-
‘ poses, and in the hands of such excel-
lent Irish comedians as we know Con-
roy tic Fox to be, it is easy to anticipate
what a good laugh there is in waiting
for us. The piece is not only possessed
of a funny story and aide-splitting situa-
tions, but is enlivened with many novel
specialty features. The stars are old
favorites here and are sure of a hearty
reception. Matinee prices, 10 and 25
, cents; evening, 2:3, 35 and 50 cents.
The Fast Mail.
The severe snow storm yesterday and
last nightrkept many away who would
otherwise have attended “The Fast
Mail,” at Hoyt’s Theatre last night.
The scenery was unusually realistic
and the company presenting the play
was a good one. '

THE COMING ”SCRAP.”
Plan of the Pavilion In Which Corbett
and Fitzsimmons Will ltIoet.
. CARSON CITY, New, Feb. 13-—-Dan
Stuart said today that the pavilion in
which the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight
would take place would be erected on or
immediately below the Carson race track.
It will not be a permanent or pretentious
structure, but will consist ,of wood and
canvas. A floor will be laid of wood, and
there will be a depressed center in which
the ring will be located. Back of this will
be the box seats, reserved seats and the
general admission seats in the usual form.
While the rate of admission has not as yet
been announced, it is understood it will
be about $5. -
Stuart has opened a bureau here under
the direction of Sidney Gray of New York,
which will make all arrangements for the
accommodation of the crowds that will be
here during the fight. He will inspect all
the places that might be converted into
lodging houses. No one will be without
proper accommodations.
A story has gained circulation that after
the main line railroads land the crowd at
Reno the Virginia and Truckee cannot
handle it to get it here in time. H. M.
Yerington, superintendent of that road,
said today:
“We will handle all the passengers in
111' st class shape. When the road was first
built, our regul. .r business required the
running of nearly 60 trains each day, and
we can do it again if we find it necessary.
Besides, the men will not all come in one
day. Even if they do, however, they need
have no fear.’
Corbett In San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13.—James J.
Corbett and party arrived here and went
to the St, Nichoius hotel. The champion
looked very well and said that he was in
first i ate condition. He has selected Shaws
Springs £01 training quarters, and will
leave for Nevada on Monday.
‘Win or lose, this will be my last but-
tle, ” l: c said. « “Of course I expect to win.
I don’t care :1. fig about the championship.
They can all get in and fight for it after I
get through with Fitzsimmons.”
Corbett weighs about 185 pounds now.
He expects to enter the ring weighing 180
pounds.
FIRED 011 A FILIBUSTBB.
The Dispatch Boat Dolphin Was Rather
Quick “71:11 Her Guns.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. 13.—The
United States dispatch boat Dolphin today
fired on' the filibuster Three Friends, which
has been detained here.
The Three Friends was crossing the bar
and the Dolphin signaled her to ley'to.
She went on and the dispatch boat sent
two shots at her bow.
The tug was going out. so as to watch
for some schoonci‘s c pected in the morn-
ing. As she crossed the bar the Dolphin’s .
big search light soon found her out and
signaled her by whistle. The Three
Friends replied, and supposing that that
was suificient, she continued on her way.
Suddenly a. puff of smoke burst from the
Dolphin’s side and a. solid shot came rico-‘
chetting across the waves, dashing up the
spray 100 feet behind the tug. A second
later an! ther shot came Whistling along,
passing :1 few yards from the vessel’s prow.
The '.7 hree Friends then thought it time
to come about, and she at once went along-
side. i I’ter some delay there she was per-
mitted to go on.
She was out for an hour and a half and
then came back and anchored at Mayport.
Persons here think that warships are
too quick and that some one may be hur'
if they are not more careful.
