NORFOLK, December -, 1890.
Shipping in the lower harbor Is
cramped for room in the vicinity OF the
Lambert's Point piers, and now that
business is increasing at the Norfolk and
Carolina piers at Primers Point imme-
diately on the opposite side OF the bar
bor the matter is engaging the serious
attention OF the Board OF Harbor Com
missioners, as the anchorage Of the large
fleet of coasters in the channel-way Is
complained of as an obstruction to navi-
CATION. As partial relief the board
has requested the Virginia Pilot Asso-
citation to take steamers to Hampton
Roads as soon as they complete taking
on their supplies of coal ut the piers.
The Norfolk and Western railroad Will
also provide additional moorings.
TO CHANGE HANDS.
It is probable that Ocean-Shore Park,
the new and handsome resort at Virginia
Beach. will pass from the original com
pany into other hands very soon. The
property cost somewhere between
$4,000 and 500, 900, but has had bad sea-
sons from the commencement. MIR. NJ. L.
Dill, Of Portsmouth, says he has lost
S2j. 500 in the enterprise. As usual, the
next company will make great success
of the place. The heavy failures IN
New York are said to have affected the
Princess Anne, and the sumptuous i'm
proyements projected there are not
likely to be carried out for some time.
Mr.. 5. f.. Crittenden, of Cooperstown,
y. Y, in charge for the last two years.
has released the Princess Anne and will
open the winter season on the LIST OF
February.
