BALLooNlsT AT 9.
His Dirigible Absolutely Safe and APP

Charles e. Whittlesey, Jr.. youthful

and while the experiment was not en-
tirely successful the balloon possessed
a quality that is lacking in some Of

ly safe and apparently sane.
Master Whittlesey IS a bright little
lad Of 1-2 years. who has taken
quite an interest in matters pertain
ing to the dirigible balloon. He has
made g study of various problems of
construction so far as such problems
can be studied and has developed Ger
tain ideas that are given much credit
for pra liability BY men who have
listened to him. lie has already made
one experimental balloon and had it
on exhibition in New York city 1T the
Madison Square Garden exhibition last
December The first one was named
Hartford No I and its inventor is the
youngest member Of the Junior Aero
club Of New York.
The experimental balloon that was
taken to Springfield for a tryout was
named the Hartford No. .. The Young
man had some assistance in preparing
the model by two Hartford men who
are experts in wires and fabrics.
Aluminium wires are used In the con-

Gift of Park Land Arouses Greenwich

1'he proposed gift TO Greenwich of a

aroused discord and the village is di-
vided into two factions, one OF which
wants to accept the gift and another
which declares that it shall not be ac-
cepted. At a meeting of the full board
Of burgesses the matter was discussed
and the burgesses decided to offer the
question to a meeting Of the voters Of
the borough
This meeting WAS held on Thursday
evening, but the real significance of it
apparently was not clear to the m2jori-
ty Of the voters, -Sof Only-a few attend
ed. After a heated debate it was voted
to accept The gift. As soon as the bust
ness men Of the town realized what
had been done q petition which had
been signed by most Of the merchants
Of the place demonstrating against the
acceptance Of the park was started and
through this il is expected that what
nest Of the business people consider a
trouble breeder will be rejected.
The explanation OF the trouble is that
Mrs Havemeyer some time ago offered
a piece of land in the southern part
Of the borough to the United States
government as q site for a postofice
at a price smaller than others asked
for a tract Of equal size but her. offer
was made with the provisO that the
tract adjoining should be accepted BIZ
