The other afternoon, when the fine
weather tempted hundreds of people
to promenade along Riverside Drive,
considerable excitement was caused
on that avenue, near Eighty-ninth
street, by a neatly dressed man Of
about so years. He planted himself IN
the middle of the walk and command
ed every man who passed him to sa-
lutte by doffing his hat. The men, be-
lieving him to be intoxicated, laugh
ilgly obeyed the command. At last,
however, handsomely dressed young
man, accompanied by young woman,
came along. The young man failed
to doff his silk hat and the next mo-
ment the cane of the stranger came
down upon the silk hat, crushing it.
This led to an argument between the
two men and a crowd quickly gather
ed. Suddenly the hat smasher broke
away, pushed his way through the
crowd and ran into the Soldiers and
Sollors monument, where he began to
undress. Women shrieked and fled,
while the men awaited further de-
velopments. After the man had taken
off overcoat, coat and vest, he reached
into his trouser pockets and pulling out
watch and handful Of jewelry be-
gan to scatter the latter among the
spectators. At that moment police
man arrived upon the scene. Some of
the jewelry which had been picked up,
was turned over to the policeman
who handed it to the half undressed
man, but the latter threw the things
away again. With difficulty the man
was persuaded to put his clothes on
again and to accompany the police
officer to the station. Later he was
identified as a wealthy jeweler living
on st. Nicholas avenue, and he was
sent to Bellevue Hospital for observa-
ton.
