Show Oyster Feasts Revived. During the war years, England dropped the yearly oyster feasts at Whitstable and other beds, but they are now being resumed. The industry Is ancient, and there are entertaining chapters In its history and fable. It Is a pleasant tradition, for Instance, that Nell Gwyn, who, made a master In chancery by Charles II, left a legacy to the benchers of Lincoln's Inn to buy oysters for dinner. At the inspection of the Whitstable beds recently It was stated that this is a good oyster season, sea-son, and that, roughly 50,000,000 of the shell-fish will be available. |
