Correspondence fthe Richmond Dispatch
FORT MONROE, VA, March 9, 1886.
The cold and cutting northwest wind
which prevailed here during the early
part of the week has spent its force, and
yesterday opened mild and balmy-a
perfect spring day. The guests of the
hotel, who had been housed for some
time, took advantage Of the change and
spent the day in making excursions in
the neighborhood, some on foot, some
in carriages, some on horseback, and
still others in sailboats.
In the hotel everything moves along
like a piece of well-oiled machinery.
1t has been learned that there will be
but three executors to Mr.. PhTbus's
will-NIrs. PhUbus, Captain Woodhn,
and Mr.. Fulton, with Colonel Thomas
Tabb, Of Hampton, as legal adviser.
The executors will not qualify until
Monday, when some definite policy will
no doubt be adopted. George Wood
fin takes the management of the hotel
for the present, with Mr.. Crittenden As
superintendent, Mr.. klipstein cashier,
Mr.. VERIFY rOOm-clerk, and Mr.. Pike
steward. This arrangement will pro-
badly continue until the spring sea-
son terminates. when, it is understood,
the property will be offered for sale,
and if the bidding reaches the valua-
ton placed upon it by its late owner
will pass into other hands. Considera-
BILE speculation is already INDUCED IN
as to the probable purchaser, as 1t IS
known 10 be one of the finest hotel
properties in the country. In this con-
nection the name of c. p. Huntington,
president of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad, is prominently mentioned. lie
has had some experience in this oil
rection, having purchased hotel at
Monterey, CAL, in connection with his
Union Pacific railroad. which has proved
a remunerative investment. Few peo-
pie are more directly interested in The
success Of the house than this gentle
man.

wife, of Detroit, Mich, who spent a
couple of months here last spring, ar
rived here on Monday last, accompanied
