NEW YORK. Dec. 11.--Protesting
against the fast track at Madison
Square Garden, all the contestants In
the six-day bicycle race left the oval
for 4 while this afternoon and rose
on the door for more than an hour.
At the time OF the protest the riders
were twenty-one miles ahead OF the
record. The riders complained that
they cannot maintain the world
breaking clip at which they have been
riding ever since last Sunday night.
but there II no way to remedy 1t.
The men must maintain the speed or

by Referee Valentine to return to the
track. The stoppage caused four

CHARLESTON GIVEN
DATES FOR RAGING
MEETING, HOWEVER, DEPENDS
UPON STATE GOING WET OR
DRY IN ELECTION.

NEW YORK. Dec. 11.---At a meet
ing of the stewards of the Jockey
club, held yesterday, the Charleston
Fair and Racing association was
granted dates to conduct a race meet
ing from January 25th until March
29th. This allotment Is just six days
shorter than the time that was APP
piied for by Francis Pons, the time
being cut from the end of the meet
ing.
The curtailing of the racing time
was made necessary by reason of the
changed racing conditions in the State
Of Maryland. In the spring of 1918
there will be applications for racing
time from the Maryland Jockey club
at Pimlico, while both Laurel and
the new association at Havre de Grace
will be in the field. To properly look
after the wants of these tracks, so
that there viii be no conflict, a cut
in the Charleston time became neces-
sary.
Another question. that Is entirely
outside the Jockey club. is the mat
ter of the law in South Carolina, and
Mr.. Pons and his associates have a
battle to win before racing will be
possible even on January 25th. A
prohibitorv measure goes into effect
January list, and unless It Is amend
ed. or beaten. the racing Will not be
possible.

its thrift. ii is a certain fact that IL
will fall fat; this, unless the associa-
