NKT YORK DEMOCRATS.
Their Convention Opened at Saratoga
Little Work bone.

Their Convention Opened at Saratoga Yes
~tcrday-But Little Work Done.
SARATOGA, n. y, Oct. 5.-The state
convention at Saratoga today was begun, to
use a somewhat abused phrase, in n blaze of
glory. 1t seems rs though nature itself had
smiled upon loyal democrats. Delegates and
alternates from several counties marched to
the new convention hall in bodies, preceded
by brass bands. Tammany's tigers went in
groups of five and six, each man wearing the
blue badge with these words in gold
"Iammany Hall, Saratoga, October 3, 1893. q"
The vast hall contained few vacantchairs
Wht!e In the spacious gallery there were
many ladies who displayed actl.e interest
Ill all that went on. On each side of the
platform were handsome, large oil paintings
OF President Cleveland and Vice President
Stevenson. The other ornamentation was
simple, consisting of flags and bunting. The
convention was opened at noon by United
States Senator Murphy, in his
Official capacity as chairman of
the state committee, who named
as the temporary chairman Daniel ID. Lock-
wood of Buffalo, the man who nominated
Grover Cleveland for mayor, governor and
president. In his address he aroused
significant and loud applause when he
declared that the present convention renrc-
sented the entire democratic party of the
state. His reference to the pledge of the
national platform of 1892 to repeal the
Sherman silver bill was vociferOusly cheered,
The committees on resolutions, permanent
organization, credentials and to choose dele
gates-at-large to the general convention
were made up by congressional districts on
molten of Mayor Giiroyo OF New York. The
convention determined that when recess
was taken 1t would be until 10 o'clock tomor-
row.
At this point the announcements by the
clerk of a yacht race bulletin that the Vlgi.
liant led by half Il mile was cheercd, Richard
Croker leading. The convention then adj
JOLrned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
IL is understood the chief object of the
democrats in holding the state convention
over until tomorrow is to learn as much as
they can about the intentions of Uthe repub
Leans, who are to meet tomorrow Ia syria
cuse. Saturday is the last day state nomi-
nations can be made undertake election laws
Further proceeding in this convention must
be OF The most formal character, as every
step is arranged by the anti-Cleveland
machine. The mi on contested seats
tonight practically wiped out the nnti-Hill
delegations. In the makeup of delegations
from congressional districts, who name the
thirty-four State committeeman, only anti.
Hill members Of the committee secured a
place.
The state committee on platform tonight
contemplated Il draft of that document 1t
is said on the authority of IA member of tine
subcommittee that resolution is included
declaring for the absolute and unconditional
repeal OF the Sherman law.

ROBERTS LEADS AGAIN.
Ives Falls Down on His Billiards and is 615

ives rails Down on His billiards and is 615
Behind Now.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The seventh series of
the 10000 billiard match between Roberts
and Ives was contested this evening. This
afternoon Ives played poorly and Roberts
soon regained the lead of 115 points which
ives secured on Wednesday night. When
the afternoon was over Roberts score was
5,4OO and Ives 5,05S, leaving the latter 362
behind.
Before the evening play began Ives said
10 an Associated press reporter, in answer
to a query as TO why he played so badly in
the afternoon: II am not feeling well and
this place is too cold. The cold has a very
great effect on the balls, and l cannot get
them to come together. | was surprised,
myself, at my bad play"
In the opening of the ninth inning this
evening Roberts began a brilliant piece of
hls ali-round work, playing, winning and
losing hazards with the greatest ease. His
draw and screw shots for the side pockets
seemed TO mystlfy the spectators, who were
evidently not accustomed to the English
game. Roberts played with great accuracy,
never hesitating Il moment as to what shot
he would play. He would alternate between
hazards and caroms, ana always secured
good positions. He broke down on a seem
ingly easy hazard off the white when he had
made n break of l43.
In the latter half of the thirteenth inning
ives got the balls on the lower left-haud rail
and by a grand piece of play with the right
and left hand and the use of the bridge he
brought them along and turned the corner
pocket. Along the bottom rail they went.
Although Ives was at a disadvantage, he
kept steadily to his work, and despite the
fact that he had to use the bridge very fire.
quentlY, he made 200. They broke there,
and he stopped at POP amid a tunlult of APP
plause. Roberts ran out in the forty-seventh
inning with a total of 1000, while Ives only
made 14S.
The entire score is: Roberts, 6, 4O1; Ives.
1856. The highest run was: Ives, POP; Rob
erts, 143. Averages: Roberts, p 13-47;
Ives, IS 6-23.
