YOUNG MAN BEATEN ny NEGROES.
Mr.. John Hampden Chamberlayne,
Jr., Assaulted i'm Jackson Ward.

Mr.. John Hampden Chamberlayne. Jr.,
who is employed as a collector for the
insurance department of the Security
Bank, was the victim Of rather serious
assault in Jackson Ward yesterday after
noon.
The young man was passing the corner
Of ST. James and Duval streets, where a
large crowd of negroes were congregated,
and i'm forcing his way through the gath
ering brushed rather roughly against one
of the negroes. The darky took offence
at the contact and made some insulting
remark, which Mr.. Chamberlayne resent
ed. Words followed, and the darkies
made an attack upon the young man.
He was knocked down and beaten about
the face by several of the gang, but
pluckily fought until entirely overpower-
ed. The negroes were finally frightened
away by the arrival of several gentle
men on the scene. but before trkng their
departure one of their number kicked the
prostrate young man In the face.
Mr.. Chamberlayne was assisted TO his
home. No. Il west Main street where
medical attention was summoned for him.
He is terribly bruised about the lace, but
his injuries are not at all serious, and he
viii be about again in rev days.
The assault was reported TO the police
of the Third District, and Captain Hulce
put his men to work on the case. UP TO
a late hour last night no arrests had
been made. but Mr.. Chamberlayne says
he will recognize the negro who took the
most prominent part in the assault.

READINGS or HoPKINsoN SMITH.
One of the Most Delightful Enter
fainments In the Dyceum Course.

With such eloQuence which has rarely
been equalled in Richmond, and a grace
Of gesture which was the poetry Of mo-
tlon. +. Hopkinson Smith delighted an
immense audience at the Academy of
Music last night. The entertainment
another of those notable affairs for which
the Richmond Lyceum should have public
gratitude-was perhaps the greatest lite
rary event OF the season.
Mr.. Roosevelt Page, In a felicitous speech,
which. though Unpretentious, was singu-
larry appropriate, introduced the speaker
10 his audience. After that-or rather as
soon as Mr.. Smith began TO talk-his
hearers. as though touched by a magi-
clans wand. lost their identity and dwelt
only In the pleasing fancies which he
created.
For artistic oratory, embellshed by a
harmony Of motion and exquislteness OF
grace, the speaker is absolutely unique.
He does not read his works, nor does he
declaim them. For the nOnce he actually
becomes the characters he depicts, living
their lives. bearing their burdens, smiling
their smiles, and fighting their battles.
During the course of the evening, as
naturally and as tremendously as twilight
lapses into darkness, Mr.. Smith changed
from the New England to the Irish dia-
lect. and ere he bowed his adieux to his
spellbound hearers, he was speaking the
sonOrous words Of the old-time negro.
His first selection was Jonathan" or
rather Jonathan and his dog. The pair
were before the audience with no eccen-
tricity, blemish. or virtue concealed. The
speakers lips and tongue were brush
that painted them in the colors Of life
and set them out against beautiful back
ground.
From New England the audience went
yes actually went in person-to pictures
que dilapdated and Shiny old Venice.
Their medium Of transportation was "A
Waterlog Town." and they gathered their
impressions from a homesick New Yorker,
who had been badgered into going abroad
Like some woodland glen, alternating be
tween sunshine and umbrageousness, this
story abounded I'm pathOs and humor
though there was predominance OF the
sunshine.
Strong and boldly contrasting like the
luminous lights Of snowy marble against
a setting Of black, were the character
istcs Of that wonderful story, Tom
Grogan." In this pathetic and powerful
tale. fortified by rugged touches of the
Irish brogue. Mr.. Smith was perhaps at
his best. He seemed for the time to be
himself the brave Hibernian woman, bat
Ting for existence. yet withal the faith

Five Meals for a Dollar" was the title
of an exceedingly humorous little story,
which sparkled with merriment like

sweetness, glistening in a setting which
was truly enhancing.
