The name of the person making the pro-
test is not known, and will hardly be an
nounced, though those in a position 10
know can easily surmise the source. The
cause of the trouble appears to date back
to the parade of year ago, the credit III
which was claimed by a local newspaper,
though the league officials thought they
were giving it. The applicant in question
was against such action. and some of his
enemies have taken advantage of the fact
to bar him from membership.
For the first time in the current fiscal
year there are no new names published in
the official organ for the local division of
the organization Only two renewals are
credited This clearly shows that for the
holiday season there is very little interest
in bicycling. However. at it's best the Win
ter season is bad for the membership roll.
and the thoughts of bicycling are driven
far from the minds of many by the chilly
atmosphere. Before the spring season
opens there will be more than one week go
on record during which no new names are
recorded for this division 1t can. indeed
be taken as a fortunate indication, II the
past week happens to be the only one for
the cold season. that no new names are
added to the roll.
The competition contest. originated by
the league, for members closed last
evening at midnight, and next week the

delphia, who up to date has 1.6i3 applca-

delphia. with 1,496 applications, will most

Tanguy, stands fourth in the list. with 1.lO
new names. His prize will be S223 Morse
billiard table. The contest for the other
