SALE OF LOTS LAST WEEK.
The sale of choice of lots Thursday
of last week was success 80 far as
premiums are concerned. The at
tendance was not so large as the
managers anticipated. More people
would probably have been present
had it not been for the continued in
clement weather of the past two
weeks. TIE sale took place at noon.
The first choice of lots was knocked
down to Major Anderson, of Wheel
ing, for 500, and he also secured Sec
ond choice for 800. DR.. Logan, of
Wheeling, secured third choice for
$40, and Mai, Anderson and Rev. J
F. Goucher, of Baltimore, the fourth
and fifth of the choice at $40 each.
The sixth, seventh. eighth and ninth
choice brought S25 each, the purchas-
ers being DIR. Logan. l., w. G. Allen,
of Baltimore, John Thompson, OF
Philadelphia, and Rev. J. P. Masden.
From the tenth to the twenty eighth
choice the price ranged from SIS to
$40. The amount of premiums, all
told. was 1886, which, with S15e each
for the lots, represents 1885 secured
to the association by the sale. The
terms of the sale include provision
! that the purchasers must erect a cot
tage on the lots bid in by them before
July LIST, 1888. The provision is
deemed wise one, as at other resorts
spectators have bid in the lots and
then failed to build on them. With
the thirty-eight cottages previously
contracted for to be erected the pres
ent season, the sale of to-day secures
at least sixty.siX cottages for next
season. A number of the bids were
for those unable to be present. The
purchasers had also the option of TAX
ing one or more lots on paying the
same premium, and as several of the
bidders took two and three lots, the
total amount of the sale will proba-
bly, aggregate about $4,000.
