NORFOLK, Va, June 26.-Fire early
today at Pine Beach, a resort filled
with hotels of varying size, restaurants,
stores and places of amusement just
outside the jamestown exposition
grounds, destroyed forty or fifty frame
structures between Virginia and Mary
land avenues at One Hundred and Sec
ond and One Hundred and Third
streets, including Exposition avenue.
The loss is placed at between 100000
and $25O,O0O with about 20 per cent in
surance.
The Arcade, Royal and Hampton
Roads, Washington, outside Inn, Pow
hatan, Carolina and Berkeley hotels
were among the largest buildings de-
stroyed. The Powhatan guards and
the Exposition fire department did
splendid work in preventing the fire
from spreading beyond the boundary
In which it was finally confined.
