A MARATHON DANCE.
Police Stop It After Contestants Had
Danced IS Hours.

San Francisco. March 20.-Police
stopped the worlds championship
Marathon dance today after six of the
contestants had been dancing Is hours.
The old record was ii hours and AZ
minutes. A protest arose from the 5000
spectators and a riot was prevented
only by the determined manner in
which the officers cleared the platform.
Doctors who were in attendance ad-
vised the police that further physical
exertion on the part of the dancers
might result fatally.
Probably the most remarkable fea-
ture of the performance was the forth
tude of j. A. West, who is 81 years
old. Although at times during the
night it seemed that his struggle to
keep up was torturing him. he waved
his seconds aside and kept it up. His
partner was 16-year-old girl.
