THE HYGElA 6ATNlNG-GROuND.
How Messrs. Lewis & Co. Made a Profit
able Compromise.

Correspondence CT the Richmond Dispatchl
HAMPTON. Va. April %, 1890.
The Hygeia Hotel lost one of its princL
pal attractions few months ago, but has
since regained it at an expenditure OF some
1880. The facts in the case are these:
On August 9th last, Messrs. \. NJ. Lewis,
W. n. Mears, and John W. Collier applied
TO the oyster inspector of the county
for assignment Of eight acres OF oys-
foreground Immediately in front of
the said hotel. commencing at the north
west corner of the hotel at the wharf,
running out ninety yards below lowwater
mark, thence east about LOO yards, and
then north TO the stone pier east Of the
light house. The assignment was duly
made on the payment Of about three dol
lars legal tax, which gave Messrs.
Lewis d Co. the right TO plant oysters
on the bathing-ground of the guests.
There would have been very little water
left in front Of the hotel for the fair bath
ers, only the distance between highland
low-water mark, for il they went below
low-water mark. the sharp oyster shells
would be dangerous to their feet.
A suit was instituted by the Hygeia
Hotel Company TO recover or take away
the ground. but before coming to trial it
was compromised by the hotel paying
81 $50 10 Messrs Lewis & Co.
Two suspicious parties were arrested
last night and jailed. They gave, their
names rs Frank Arnold and Thomas
Brown, of Powhatan. One of them had
nothing in his possession except pocket
ful of matches. They were turned loose
to-day and escorted to the town limits.
THE SECOND CONCERT.
The second series of the concerts of the
May Festival took place last night. Mr..
Leftwich appeared in two solos, which
were cordially received. A flute solo by
Mr.. g. Berjis was the feature of the eye-
ming. and he was deservedly cRomed. The
rendition of the Wreck Of the Hesperus
by tine clubwas very good and enjoyed by
the large audience. Tonight is the last
and the Bernhard Listeman Club, of Bos-
ton, viii appear in every number on the pro-
gramme.
On Wednesday night an inmate of the
Soldiers Home while returning TO tht
Home was fired upon near the National
cemetery and badly wounded 5y an un

. of the vehicle, and the attention of the oc-
cuuants of the wagon was attracted 10
these, and not noticing an engine belong
ing 10 the Richmond and Allegheny rail-
road approaching from the west they pro
ceeded down the crossing.
COULDN'T STOP THE LOCOMOTIVE.
