ALBANY, Sept. 2e.--The Ten Eyck
of this town is somewhat Of caravan
sary, but passage through its spacious
| iobbies this evening was O thing TO be
attempted at leisure and achieved only
through unfaltering effort. Delegates
to state convention should train on
the gridiron. For that matter results
at the Ten Eyck indicate that large
number Of them do just that thing.
The chief matter of mement at this
stage appears to be the final disposition
of the political futures Of Secretary
of State Lyons and Attorney General
Charles y. Newton. There is an un-
obtrusiye doorway ut the head of the
main stairway at the Ten Eyck labeled

Bureau, but the label is misleading, at
least as far as this evening Is con
cerned. 1t is behind this neat piece of
camoufagc that the party leaders just
now are engaged in sponging Messrs.
Lyons and Newton off the slate and de-
Gliding whose names shall appear in the
vacant spaces which will be left after
they have been erased.
To be inside that room would be all
experience to be treasured Even from
the outside it has destinations. The
sessions had been in progress for Il
considerable time before the fact of it's
existence permeated to the crowded
lobbies by that mysterious process of
infltration which operates in such cir
cumstances. Posted at table outside

star chamber, sat a conscientious gem

Jimmy Dunn. who has developed
such great performers, as Johnny
kilbane, Bryan Downey, Johnny
karr and host OF others, is conf
dent that In Tremsine he has tho
next bantam champ. AS matter
of fact. Dunn says that Lynch will
be shorn OF the title the first time
he steps into the ring with Ire
maine.
Tremalne is the unusual type,
very clever. yet n great hitter and
aggressive. At times he throws
cleverness TO the winds and swaps
punches standing toe to toe with his
opponent. 1t is said of Tremain O
that no battier has ever made him
back up. and that he alwasy has tho
last punch In clinch. In many
ways Tremaine reminds ono of Terry
McGovern when that great fighter
was in his prime. He has plenty of
color.
Trcmaine Is certainly entitled to
crack at the bantam title. His
record justiflcs that assertion. To
fall to bring him together with
Lynch is an injustice to the fight
fans of New York.
