The Great South Bay Open

The rains and warm days have removed the ice in the Great South Bay. Its opening was greeted with thanks by the baymen. Never before in the history of the bay has there been such a depression of the oyster trade as during the past winter. The bay has been closed up by the ice, which prevented the dredging of oysters, and consequently made several thousand men idle.
