 West Haven shore, from Howes' pavilion to Ke1sey's wharf, was thronged with people yesterday afternoon witnessing the exhibition given by Professor Boyton in one of his life saving rubber suits, in which he has shot the rapids and waterfalls of the Tagus, crossed the English Channel crossed the Bay of Ma ples and the Straits of Messina buffeted with a storm in the Atlantic ocean, and ascended and descended many of the noted rivers of the old and the new worlds, enduring much hardship and privation and winning renown and something in the way of shekels He was in excellent spirits and gave @ lively e1- hibition, witnessed with close attention and lively satisfaction by the throngs. Car after car brought it's load of people, and by the time when the Professor commenced business there were several thousand people gathered,
 while teams were thick enough all along from opposite the Sea View House to the wharf. A very pretty scene was presented.
 The cottage piazzas were we'll occupied with ladies and friends, the Sea View House windows likewise and fer up in the tower windows of the hotel were others gazing on the show and the throngs down by the shore. The weather was delightful, cool, refreshing and bracing. On Kelsey's wharf there were more spectators, who occupied seats specially provided for the occasion for
 which small fee was charged at the gate to the wharf. Giving further diversity to the scene were the uniforms of the Light Guards,
 who were in the throng at the Howes pavil- ion, and many gay toilets mingled in the show. Of in the water were many large sharpies with dozens of spectators in each,
 waiting with all attention for the exhibition.
 Out in the water between the sharpies and the shore was small boat from which the Professors flag was floating, and in which were man and boy, who were to assist the exhibitor when wanted. In sundry and divers places apart fioated timbers and smaller pieces of wood which, by and by, the Professor was to collect and make raft of. In the center of the area was the Pro- fessor's tender, a little floating supply re- ceptacle which, during the course of his per formances, seemed to be, like a magician's sack full of all manner of things. The pro- lessor got to work at near four o'clock, when he showed the assembled people the method of infating his dress, which can be inflated in the water and can support body in the water even before imitation. The position of the body is natural, the air chamber back of the head serving as pillow. This done, the Professor propelled himself along this way some distance and then the other by means of paddle, and then without pad dle He padded himself along, though the water was little rough, quite rapidly, and in this exhibit travelled about several hundred feet Having thus exercised himself he raised a flag, and with the staff insert ed in 8 socket at his feet propelled himself along, thus showing how to attract at tention when voyaging. Attention was next excited by the flying of pigeon from the Professors head, which he had taken out of the floating tender. All eyes followed the bird till it disappeared over the Sea View House, and another pigeon was set free also in the same way. This illustrated method of sending dispatches when voyaging. Then the Professor hurried along in the water, ing his paddle lively, and got one piece of timber and then another and another togeth- CT, and when he had got them all together, out of his tender he took hammer and nails and nailed the pieces together, and then pad ding out after some blanks he laid these in the frame and then had a raft. The audi ence heartily applauded. He now showed signals, standing up in the water and way ing flag and then seconded the motion by blowing horn, this showing how distress signals could be given by shipwrecked per son attired in his suit He now split kin dlings and poured kerosene on the wood and built fire in little stove he had taken out of his inexhaustible tender. The audience ap- plauded this transaction, and then the Pro- lessor padded himself of hundred feet or 50, put out his fishing rod as he lay on h;a | back in the water, and t'quicker than min | 1te" pulled good sized fish amid more ap- | 0lause from the shore and some laughter at 1 lis rapid execution of the fish, which he cuffed | lntil it lay still. How he got it on the end of [ lis line so speedily no one presumed to tell, md inquiring children were hushed by their lnxious mothers after being informed that it probably grew there. However, the Profes- or was very soon dressing and then frying lis fish out there on the water amid more aughter and encouragement from the shore nd then took out of his receptacle lettuce, weet corn, bread, bottle -sarsaparilla, aucer, plate, etc., which proceedings tickled and caused uproarious merriment nd lively applause Having spread a table 10th and got the table set, and the raft being diusted so that the motion of the waves would not be likely to upset it, MT. Boyton ay on his back and assuaged his thirst and ate
 mouthful or two, and then cleared of the able and showed the audience how nicely he ould lay and float and read the newspaper, Iolding Chinese parasol over him to keep he sun off After this further succession f events occurred, showing the usefulness f his dress in carrying line to a wrecked hip, or in giving night signals, in the use of orpedoes in naval warfare. concluding his srformance by touching of a torpedo under asion The torpedo went of, and as xclaimed with regard to Casabianea (with light adaptation the ship, ohi where was he?
