CUTTING UP OLD HILLTOP PARK.
Fence Being Taken Down-streets
to De Made Through II.

Residents OF Washington Heights on
their way to the subway station at l6sth
street have been attracted by the sight
Of portable frame house on the south
west corner OF l6Sth street and Broad
way. To make room for the portable
house the familiar green fence enclosing
the old American League Park has been
removed for "A stretch Of many yards. The
removal of this section OF the fence has
afforded passersby the first opportunity
TO gaze within the grounds where the
New Yorks cavorted for many seasons
since they were abandoned for baseball
purposes two years ago.
Shortly after the New Yorks moved to
the Polo Grounds the grand stand and
bleachers we're dsmantled No further
work was done until the fence was re-
moved TO make room for the portable
house. At the same time a large section
OF the fence bordering on Fort Washing
ton avenue, directly In the rear OF the
grounds. also was removed. From pres
ent indications the entire stretch OF fence
bordering on this avenue will be removed
The removal OF the fence marks the
first step to cut up the old baseball
grounds into blocks. The grounds extend
from l65th street TO l6sth street. from
Broadway 10 Fort Washington avenue
Streets will be- cut through al l6sth and
18TH streets. sewers will be laid and
all tho work necessary to make the
grounds suitable for building purposes
Will be done as quickly as possible. The
grounds are owned hv the New York In
stitut!on for the Blind the buildings OF

predicted that within year builders Of

VETERAN CANoEIsT COMING.
boston Lawyer ON His Way From
That City In FraiI Craft.

Nathaniel W. Ladd. a lawyer OF Bos-
ton. who is So years old and an en-
thusiastIc canoeist. Is now making his
third voyage from Boston to New York
In IL foot canoe. He sailed from
Boston more than a week ago. and last
Thursday was at Nantucket, where he
spent n few days. ON leaving Nantucket
II was his intention to try to cross the
shoals, and he expected TO spend the
night on Tuckernock. Island. but said II
the weather was bad he would get to
Cross Rip light vessel and sleep there.
Three years ago Ladd astonished the
Long Island Sound yachtsmen by Az
irving Off Larchmont during race week
and watching the big boats sail there
from his tiny she'll His ~ foot canoe
was loaded down with dunnage and II
was wonder how he kept her afioat N
rough weather He has two big canvas
packs on the canoe. He sits at one end
and these two packs are as high amid
ships and at the other end as his head
is. In these packs are all sorts OF
paraphernalia. including small alcohol
stove. lanterns. oars. paddles. dip nets.
clothing. food. sleeping blankets and a
hammock.
Sometimes Ladd goes ashore and makes
n camp for the night. AT other times he
will haul canvas cover over his canoe
and sleep under II until daylight resum-
ing his journey as soon as he has finished
his breakfast. He should be seen on
Long Island Sound some time this week
and IN all probability will put In nj
some OF the yacht clubs for supplies. He
will never stop at one OF those houses
however as he prefers to live out OF
doors.
