HAYMARKET 



of S. Mary, built on the site of a 

 Roman structure, and containing 

 brasses and other monuments of 

 interest, was restored in 1861-62. 

 Hayes Common, a breezy stretch 

 of uplands, 220 acres in extent, 

 covered with heather, bracken, 

 bramble, and hawthorn, com- 

 manding picturesque views, and a 

 favourite resort of cyclists, was 

 secured to the public in 1869. Sir 

 Vicary Gibbs had a villa on Hayes 

 Common ; and Henry Hallam died 

 in Hayea parish. See Keston. 



Hayes, CATHARINE (1690-1726). 

 English murderess. Born near 

 Birmingham, she married John 

 Hayes, a carpenter, and lived with 

 him in Tyburn Road, now Oxford 

 Street, London. On March 1, 1726, 

 with the aid of two lodgers, Wood 

 and Billings, she murdered her 

 husband, whose head was thrown 

 into the Thames at Westminster, 

 and whose body, cut into pieces, 

 was secreted in Marylebone Fields. 

 The head being found and identi- 

 fied, Hayes was sentenced to be 

 burnt alive, and her two accom- 

 plices to be hanged. Wood died in 

 Newgate ; Billings was hanged in 

 chains. Hayes, who tried to poison 

 herself, was executed at Tyburn, 

 May 9, 1726. Thackeray based his 

 story, Catherine, 1839-40, upon 

 her career. 



Hayes, RUTHERFORD BIRCH ARD 

 (1822-93). American statesman. 

 Born in Delaware, Ohio, Oct. 4, 

 1822, he was 

 educated a t 

 Kenyon Col- 

 1 ege and 

 studied law at 

 Harvard, be- 

 ing admitted 

 to the bar in 

 1845. Having 

 built up a suc- 

 cessful prac- 

 tice in Cincin- 

 nati, he joined 

 the Union 

 army and served with distinction 

 throughout the Civil War. Member 

 of Congress, 1865-67, and governor 

 of Ohio, 1868-72 and 1876-77, he 

 stood for the presidency in 1876 

 on the Republican ticket, was ad- 

 judged to have a majority, and 

 was finally declared elected by one 

 electoral vote. He did much to 

 improve the financial position of 

 the country and pursued a concilia- 

 tory policy towards the southern 

 states. After his term he retired 

 from public life and died at Fre- 

 mont, Ohio, Jan. 17, 1893. See 

 Life, W. D. Howells, 1876. 



Hay-fever. Catarrhal affection 

 of the mucous membrane of the 

 eyes, nose, mouth, and air-passages 

 due to irritation by *he pollen of 

 various grasses and plants. The 



disease is common all over Europe 

 and N. America, and chiefly occurs 

 during the hay season. The symp- 

 toms are those of a heavy cold with 

 much sneezing and headache. 

 Asthmatical attacks are not un- 

 common. Sufferers from hay-fever 

 should avoid agricultural districts 

 during the summer months. Moun- 

 tainous regions or the seaside are 

 the best places to live in. The bed- 

 room windows should generally be 

 closed at night. Tonic treatment 

 and local applications and sprays 

 sometimes give relief. " Pollan- 

 tin," an anti-toxic serum, has 

 proved efficacious in many cases. 



Hay ling. Island of Hampshire. 

 It lies between the harbours of 

 Langstone and Chichester, a short 

 distance from the mainland. About 

 4 m. from N. to S., its area is 10 sq. 

 m ; it is popular as a seaside resort. 

 There are golf links and other at- 

 tractions. The village of S. Hay- 

 ling, which has a station on the 

 L.B. & S.C. Rly., has a fine old 

 church dedicated to S. Mary. 

 There is also a station at N. Hay- 

 ling, which is 2 m. from Havant 

 and 69 from London. The island 

 was long the property of the 

 Benedictines. 



Hay Loader. Small elevator for 

 loading hay and other crops into 

 wagons. It consists essentially of 

 a trough, along the upper side of 

 which endless chains studded with 

 small forks move from below up- 

 wards, returning along the under. 



Hay market. London street ex- 

 tending from the E. end of Picca- 

 dilly to Pall Mall, S.W. It was so 

 named from the market for hay and 

 straw held here before its removal 

 to Cumberland Market, Regent's 

 Park, in 1830. The Carlton Hotel 

 and His Majesty's Theatre, on the 

 W. side, cover the site of the King's 

 Theatre or Italian Opera House, 

 later Her Majesty's Theatre, de- 

 molished in 1893. The Haymarket 



Theatre is on the E. side. Near 

 are the Civil Service Stores and 

 Panton Street, in which is the 

 Comedy Theatre. 



Thynne of Longleat was mur- 

 dered in this street by assassins 

 hired by Count Konigsmarck, 1682. 

 Dr. Johnson's friend, Baretti, 

 mortally wounded a man who 

 attacked him here in 1769, and 

 after being tried for murder was 

 acquitted. Addison lodged for a 

 time in this street, with which are 

 also associated the names of 

 George Morland, Sir Samuel Garth, 

 and Mrs. Oldfield. 



Haymarket Theatre. London 

 theatre. The original Haymarket 

 Theatre, in which Fielding pro- 

 duced Tom Thumb the Great, and 

 of which he became manager in 

 1734, was opened Dec. 29, 1720, 

 with a French comedy, La Fille a 

 la Mode. Later famous managers 

 were Charles Macklin, Samuel 

 Foote, 1747-67, and the two 

 Colmans. Bannister, Elliston, and 

 Listen all made their first appear- 

 ance in the Little Theatre, as it 

 was called, and here John Poole's 

 Paul Pry was first performed. The 

 second Haymarket Theatre, which 

 stands on a site immediately ad- 

 joining that of the first, was opened 

 July 4, 1821. 



At the . close of Buckstone's 

 management in 1879, it passed into 

 the hands of the Bancrofts, who 

 reconstructed it, abolishing the pit 

 and adding the pit area to the 

 stalls. Under the Bancrofts, 1880- 

 85, it enjoyed great popularity, 

 which continued undiminished 

 under Beerbohm Tree, 1887-95. 

 From 1896 to 1905, under the 

 joint management of Cyril Maude 

 and Frederick Harrison, it won a 

 new lease of success, which has 

 lasted almost uninterruptedly 

 since 1906, when the latter became 

 sole lessee. See The Haymarket 

 Theatre, Cyril Maude. 1903.
