Everything was proceeding to a point
where the committee were about to ap-
point themselves party managers and
indorse for Governor Prof. Willard
c. Fisher, of Middletown, who was
ousted from Wesleyan University for
his anti-church utterances, when Sena-
tor Thomas J. Spellacy, younger men,
her of the oldline democracy, who had
been invited because of his known op-
uosition to Gov. Simeon +. Baldwin
for United States Senator, was called
upon to speak.
He said il would be absurd to reject
the existing Democratic machinery, ar d
gently smoothed down the ambitions of
the promoters by himself advocating
the candidacy of Fisher. However, he
denounced boiling in such terms that
those that followed announced they
would not be boilers, but would sup
port whatever candidate the regular

sideways, while the Queens psrasol
caught another shower Of pamphlets.
Two women were seized by the po-

demonstrations. The King smilingly
tossed one of the bundles of papers
into the roadway and their driver con-

The crowd showed a very different
spirit. Quick to resent what was re-
garded as an insult to their maiesties,
the spectators made a rush for the
women, who would have been badly
mauled had not the police rallied
around them.
Two of the women were particular
objects of the crowds wrath, because
they were most conspicuous in throw
ing the bundles at the royal carriage.
They were arrested more for their own
protection than because of their Of
fence. They were taken to the police
station and charged with insulting be-
havior, but were released on their own
recogniZance.

Five young Italians strolled into
Henry Penfold's poolroom. at l2Sth st.
and Lenox av. shortly before mid
night last night, played pool for a few
minutes, and, wearying of that amuse-
nent, drew revolvers, held up the thir-
ty men in the place, and having col
lected all the money, watches, rings
and stickpins, calmly strolled away to
touring car half block distant and
made their escape.
The hold-up was within two blocks
of the LenoX av. station, and when d
storm Of police whistles announced
that something beyond the ordinary
was doing the reserves rushed out of
the station. Shots were exchanged
between the Italians and several po-
licemen. 1t was a waste of good bull
lets.
Henry Penfold's poolroom is on the
second floor of the building, at the
northeast corner Of 12sth st. and Lenox
av.. over Smiths saloon. A news
ticker had furnished news of the
Moran-Johnson fight, round by round,
and attracted large number Of pa
irons, many Of whom spent the rest

Penfold. They got cues and began a
rather listless game. Bet you a dollar
| make this shot" was a frequent sug-
gestion Of members Of the party to
anyone standing near. No one wanted
to bet.
After few minutes Of this sort of
thing, they rolled down their sleeves,
put on their coats and up their cues.
They appeared to be in no hurry. But
when Penfold, politely bowing, held
out a check for the pool, tehre was an
instant change.
Hands up" came the order, sharp
and quick, and five revolvers flashed
out. and to each of the. thirty patrons
it seemed as though at least one pistol
had him covered Individually. One
youth walked over to the door to do
picket duty, threek ept the thirty COW
cred, and the remaining one did the
work Of collecting. The haul, as far
as could be estimated, amounted to
some 81 900 in cash, and large col
lection of jewelry.
Without undue haste or excitement
they walked down TO the street, closing
the pool room door behind them, and
strode over to their waiting cara
touring automobile.
The instant the band.ts left the room
Penfold and four others rushed to the
windows and jumped to the street. Po-
lice whistles were sounding in every
direction, and Penfold himself hurried
to Fifth av. and 10th st. to get a
better look at the car. Two of the
youths dropped their revolvers as they
Jumped into the machine, which turned
northward and sped toward Fifth av.
As it dashed by Penfold, one of the
Italians took a shot at him, and other
shots were exchanged between police
men and the fleeing robbers without
effect. The police have a good descrip,
tion of the car.

Hammondsport, n. Y, June 27.--Two
records were broken to-day when Rod
man Wanamaker's flying boat America
rose from the surface of Lake Keuka
carrying seven men, making the weight
lifted 4,3ls pounds. Seven is the
greatest number Of persons ever car
ried on an aeroplane in this country,
and the weight lifted marks world
record for flying boats.
The passenger list to-day included
William D. Cash, Rodman Wanamak-
er's representative, who is in charge
Of the expedition to Newfoundland;
Herbert Duckworth, representative of
"The London Daily Mail" in the name
Of which Lord Northclife offered the
$4,000 prize for transatlantic fight;
Lieutenant Porte, pilot; George b. A.
Hallett, Portes assistant, and three
mechanicians from the Curtiss factory.
Glenn II. Curtiss had been super
vising the construction Of additional
planning surface OH the hull Of the
America for two days and nights, and
the experiments to-day were chiefly TO
determine the result Of the changes.
The fights were short ones, the longest
being about a mile. Close observation
Of the machine while it was planning
showed that it was trying to rise con-
tinually. and that the pilot had to keep
a constant pressure on the elevator to
hold it on the water The boat went
into the air as easily as the smaller
Curtiss boats, and, despite thirty
mile wind, few as steadily as it had
in dead air on its previous trials.
Cdrtiss ran his 10O-horsepower
scooter in circles about the America
to kick up a swell, which would give
an effect similar to the roll at sea. bu1
