ATTENDANCE WAS SMALL.
At the Springfeld-Waterbury Double
 Header This Afternoon.

Header This Afternoon.
 What a difference the slump of the Waterbury team has made with the fans! A couple of weeks ago when the locals were playing good ball, a single game attracted fifteen hun dred people, while to-day although a double header was on the boards with the Ponies, only small attendance was on hand. The fans who have fol lowed O'Hagan's men have grown tired of the indifferent playing on the part of the Prodigals, consequently the small crowd today.
 O'Neill's bunch still has lighting chance for first place and was out to win both games. Waterbury to keep out of sixth position needs one Of the contests to-day.
 In the first game Luby was on the firing line with Paddy" OConnor, the fellow who is always looking for trouble on the receiving end. Jim" Hogarty Hogarty Thackara were Tn the points for the home team and Rorty heM the indicator.
 In the trst inning Waterbury made one tally, but Steamer Flanagans men evened up things in the third.
 There was nothing doin' in the run line in the fourth and fifth. the score at the beginning of the sixth, stand- ing to 1. :,
 Although Springfield was blanked in its half of the sixth, Waterbury was there with the wallop and sent a man across the plate. Score: Wa terbury 2, Springfield 1.
 Two to l in favor of Waterbury was the score at the last of the sev- enth.

WIND BLOWING
 AT MARBLEHEAD Weather Conditions Were Just Right For the Second Trial of the
 Roosevelt Cup Races
TWELVE MILE RACE TO-DAY
Yachts Were to Go Twice Around the Course Were Started
 Away at ll:10.

Marblehead, Mass, Sept 5.-The northwestern that sent the six Sonder yachts to piping finish on Monday in the first race between the German and American boats for the Roose- welt cup was still in evidence early to-day when the yachtsmen began preparations for the second contest of the series. utill the strength of the breeze after it's hard work on Monday and yesterday seemed to be sapped at sunrise to-day when the wind had fallen to a bare six miles. But the weather conditions were much more favorable to-day than for the first race. The air was cool, with a decided suggestion of fall in 1t, and the skies were without a cloud. The barometer had shown a steady rise during the preceding 24 hours and at o'clock this morning had reached 30.04 which was ex- ceptional for this time of year. Off shore conditions were also. more fla vorable for the sea had subsided con- siderably. This encouraged the spectators, and almost as large a crowd as that which watched the first race had assembled in readiness to view to-days contest.
 The contenders were all ready for morning.
 It looked like light weather race before the yachts started out of the harbor and members of the com mittee expressed little confidence in the breeze.
 The race to-day was planned to be Emile affair over windward and leeward course, with the turning mark three miles from the start and the yachts sailing twice around.
 On getting out to Halfway rock the committee spent few minutes wait ing for the wind to settle down in some steady quarter. At 1O:4O the signals were hoisted for a windward and leeward race with the turning mark three miles due south. At that time the wind was blowing less than five miles an hour but it was sufficient to give the little boat speed enough for the preliminary maneuvers.
 The first signal was sounded on the committee boat at II o'clock and the yachts at once began to hug the line to get the best position at the start. all prepared for beat to the outer buoy three miles away. The wind was very light from the south and the yachts had scarcely more than steer age way. There was also strong flood tide setting across the line against the yachts.
 The yachts were started at 11:1o after some very clever work at the line for position. The American boat Vim led the fleet, but the German yacht wannssee had the best position on the weather quarter of the Vim. Two minutes after the start the Vim had worked out into the lead and was twenty yards ahead of the Wannssee
 The German boat. lilly was under the lee of the Wannssee and then right astern of the pair come the Glueckauf. the third German
 The Aux and the Caramba. Ameri- cans, were the last over the line. Four minutes after the start the Vim was still leading but both the Wanns- see and the lilly had crossed the bows of the Caramba Aux and Glueckauf.

UP STATE DEMOCRATS.
District Attorney Jerome Was the
 Central Figure at Conference.

Albany, Sept 5.-District Attorney Jerome was a central figure In the conference of the up state democrats called for the purpose of considering the condition of the democratic paYty in the state. In his address he dealt with the general purposes and condi- tions of the democratic party. He de- clared 1t as his understanding that the convention was in the interest of no party candidacy. the so-called muck preachers" he said has had q great hold and on a whole has done much good work. He said the republican party had always been conservative opposed to changes and inovation un- til today half consciously 1t washes it's character by declaring itself to be the party of stand pattern" On the other hand the democrats have been liberal. the habit and character of it's members has been that of hope. of looking forward and trusting to the work of the masses of people.

ROBERTSON HAS OPINION
Former CubeInatoriaI Nominee Says He s Not | Candidate Under
 Present Conditions
THE ELM CITY DELEGATION

New Haven, Sept 5.-In an inter- view given to the Associated Press to- day A. Heaton Robertson the nom- inee for governor on the democratic ticket two years ago said that as con ditions now exist he is not candidate for the nomination next week. He further said that political conditions would have to materially change be- tween now and next Tuesday to make him q candidate. There has been no agreement, he said, between the New Haven delegates and himself which should have given the impression that he was q candidate either active or passive. Although not seeking the nomination he would be a receptive candidate should the convention be obliged to go out and find standard bearer. Judge Robertson said he was greatly pleased, 1t brought feeling of personal pride that the party should be so well disposed towards him, as evidenced by the many letters re- ceived from friends asking him if he would be willing to head the ticket this year. He thought this was ample evidence of the loyalty displayed by his friends who worked for him two years ago. As delegate to the con vention next week Judge Robertson said he would work hard for the cleo tion of winning ticket and after it was named he would be ready to work to his utmost to bring success to it. He thought that all things pointed to bright prospects for demo- cratic victory in the state two years hence.
 <. The interview given out by Judge Robertson has bearing upon a report current last night that as the New Haven state convention delegates were not pledged for Mir Thayer they were presumed to be in favor of Judge Robertson.

THE FAMOUS CAT CASE.
Judge Burpee Decided In Favor of
 Mir Walker To-day.


 Judge Burpee has handed down a decision in the now celebrated Brooklyn cat case between James Walker. assistant plumbing inspec- tor. and his neighbor. Joseph Mutter and wife. giving judgment in favor of the defendent to collect costs to the amount of $24. The case was substantially as follows: Both parties are neighbors. MT Walker is a great lover of fowl and had about an hundred beautiful barred Ply mouth rocks in a coop. He paid s2 a dozen for the eggs from which they were matched and the incubator cost a neat sum. too. Mrs Mutter had a couple of handsome cats and. like all members of the feline family they had a fondness of chicken and were not a bit bashful about stepping into the Walker yard and feeding upon the young birds. Mir Walker remon- strated with the owner of the pets. but this didn't have the desired re- suit and as a last resort he bought a gun and let fly at the intruders. maining both and knocked al the fur off one of them. Then it was ID to the Mutter family to defend the cats and Walker was brought into court on a suit for damages for the loss of the pets. the sum being fixed at $50. Attorney Lynch was counsel for Mrs. Mutter. while Attorney De- vine stated the case for MT Walker. It was a great legal batle and. while it was an almost out of the way preceding. every thing cats ever did was introduced and when the at- torneys got through. the court had such a mass of evidence on hand he reserved his decision for week or so and from that time little else has been talked of all over Waterbury and especially in Brooklyn The de cision Is a big victory for Mir Walker and ought to be an eye-opsner for every cat In town. It Is worth some thing to know that if pussy persists in getting away with your property you are within your lines in brain ing her provided you catch her fin the act

BLACK SEA FLEET
 IN READINESS Admiral Skydloff Has Given Up tho Annual Cruise of the Training
 SquadIon
THE MILITARY WITHDRAWN
The Governor is Afraid to Have the Men Mix With the
 Masses.

SevaStOpol, Hus6la, sept 0.-Au- miral Skrydloff, commander of the Black sea fleet and the military com mander here are very apprehensive, both regarding the attitude of the sailors of the fleet and the garrison of the fortress. The annual cruise of the training squadron off the coast of Tendra Island, near the Gulf of Perekop, as well as the regular fleet maneuvers have been abandoned, The warships will only make short trips to sea, scarcely venturing be- yond the range of the guns of the forts.
 The military patrols in the city have been withdrawn inside the walls of the forts, the governor an- nouncing that the men are needed for their regular military training, but 1t is said that the step is due to fear that the soldiers will be corrupt ed if they are allowed to be in con- tact with the masses. The merchants of this city have practically been thrown on their own resources in the matter of protection from lawless- ness. The governor at recent meet ing of merchants advised them to or ganize their own guard for the pro- lection of property, as soldiers could no longer be spared for police duty and as the municipality is bankrupt and unable to maintain efficient pro- lection.
 The Jews who are in chronic state of terror interpreted the with drawal of the troops as evidence that the mob was, to be let loose on them and they were responsible for the alarmist reports that anti-Jewish out breaks were imminent, which reach ed the outside world.

Late in the ey- ening the judge had word sent to his son. James F. ToFance, that ne WISH eti to return home. The. son went ID the farmhouse with an automobile TOT the patient, and Mrs Torrance started to return nome. In Derby the ma chine met with mishap so that the fudge had to walk to the trolley car fo complete his homeward trip, arriv- ing there at midnight Soon after he had another spell of pain and two physicians were called.
