CLAUDE BOYTON. PRECOCIOUS
 YOUNGSTER
Miniature Snowman Knows How, and
 He Gets There, Too.

SOME OF HIS CLEVER CONCEPTS | THAT PRESAGE A FUTURE FOR THE INDUSTRIOUS LITTLE
 CHAP WITH THE INVENTIVE
 TURN OF. MIND.
 The severe burning of the hands of Claude Boyton. youngest son of Cap | tain Paul Boyton manager of Steeple- | chase Island, last week brought to | light most remarkable aptitude to- ward the amusement business rarely shown in a child of his age. It was while Claude was initiating the He'll fisks that his complete miniature cir GUS with every feature produced this season at Steeplechase was brought to light.
 He was busy with an arry of leaden soldiers whom he had clad in paper and immerised in gasoline to initiate the Hellfisks dive into the burning tanI that his hands were. severe ly burned and the reasons for his oc- cupation discovered.
 On his return from Florida where his family had cruised in their yacht Water Gypsey, Claude found himself in possession of several young alli- gators, docile animals and as he very soon found out, easily to be taught. The diving horses arrived at Steeple- chase and Claude started his circus. He had a hole about three feet in
 
 boat Here he duplicated the slide the horses take and it was in a short time that he had diving aligators taking a i've foot plunge into tn tank. By practising them every day he managed to keep his one act circus going until Vallecita's leopard came along.
 This was an added attraction and so appropriating the house boat cat and dog Pilot to threaten it in case of stubborness, Claude initiated the tricks of the leopard. Two bears sent from Pennsylvania and kept in front Of the island office were Presented to the lad by his father and with these as a boxing act he gave a com plete circus last week on the island for the benefit of the youngsters liv- ang there. Assisted by Willie Paul his aid in the training and several of the Holy Cross students who live at the island for advancement and the like Boyton and PauPs circus was held
 The Ingenuity and imagination of the child is wonderful and his feats are always astonishing the people of portunities for play he enjoys are child's paradise. With his parents and several of his older brother college chums he lives on the house boat. His actions are not impeded and the mechanical force of the island are at his disposal to carry out his plans In all building, however, Claude is his own manufacturer and with a handful of rusty nails and his sailors Jack I knife he manages to duplicate every thing from "chute the chutes' to the more daring stunts brought to the island.

Greenwich Split mp
 Over Gift of Land

Greenwich, July 26.-The proposed gift of small triangular piece of land by Mrs. H. O. Havemeyer, to be main tained as a park, to the borough of Greenwich has divided the city in two factions. One wants to accept tn gift and another which declares that it shall not be accepted The burgesses have decided to offer the matter to a meeting of the voters.
 The explanation ol all the trouble is that Mrs. Havemeyer some time ago offered piece of land in the southern part of the borough to the Government as. a site for a post office at price smaller than other bidders asked for a tract of equal size, but her offer was made with the proviso that the tract adjoining should be accepted by the borough as a park Inasmuch as the proposed park and post office site are remote from that part of the town where most of the business is located the people say that they will be put to great trouble to get mail and the merchants complain that their business will be hurt.
