C Charleston, B. C, January 12. — News of the threat cried outlawry by the Jockey Club of all who engage Liu the racing here, unless sanction lo conduct the m-ting Is tiist obtained from the eastern nirt body, H ...| the big concourse of racing men here by sur- "prise, bel aftei one deliberation tbe Jockey Clubs ukase was accepted Indifferently, and by some with out concern. A majority of the horsemen made it 1. h a ,-i that they would race here regardless of the Jockej Clubs approval. They contend that for the Jockey l u i ..t this late period lo attempt to inter peat obstacfc n is out of reason. Thai the Charleston lair ami Racing Association Intends lo g i with its plans as originally mapped out, is evidenced In the replj forwarded to Assistant Beer e tar j Algernon ItaingerfleMa notification to President John Marshall regarding tin proposed out-kawry. Mr. Marshalls message follows: "It Is now. as n always has been, thi desire -i oar aasocia i., in to nave cooe reciprocal relations with the Joe key Club. ur association and Jockey Club have charters from the state of South Carolina which vests them with mil rights and power to race under their own Jurisdiction. This association will cheer-lull act in conjunction with you in observant*! t»l inline- for fraud, but th - association will not break faith with manj of the most reputable horsemen in . mei •lea." General Manager Prancia J. Pons said: "This association has explained fullj la a wire sent to Mr. Daingerfield by our president, John Marshall, thai heiiig einp iwered by charters from the state to eou duct our meet inn under our own Jurisdiction, we see no reason t-- change our plans. We will recognise no rulings other than foe fraud and will welcome to race her. those owners in good standing who toil, part in the ra lag at Columbia." a factor in the decision of the horsemen to race here regardless of tin Jockey Clubs attitude Is that the] have gone to a great expense in keeping their horses In training and shipping here, some from distant points. The] are settled and nave before tin in seveutj the daya of continuous racing, a eon d it Ion thej can ill afford to overlook la th. se troublous tune-. The Charleston Associatloa i- acting llherall] with them and will hang up good pusses. To simmer the matter down, some of tli-in ■ r. forced to race or go to she wall. Tiny cannot all .id another long period of Idleness; they cannot and tbe onlj recourse hit for them is to race aad make the b -t of It. The report that tin Jockej Club had outlaw* 1 those who participated In the recent meeting at Columbia, together with the horses than ran there, was surprising not oalj t i the horsemen, but to the officials who took part in that meeting. It wa gen erall] tmdersti •■! that permission had been granted. or rather that m notice of tbe meeting would be i :k. n n.v th- Jockej Club. As a matter of fact, 1 per cent, was deducted from all parses won by the borsem n, supposedlj to be turned over to the Ji i key Club. Then, again, it was printed In aaaaj : the papers throughout tho country thai C. J. Lynch, president of the Columbia Racing Aasocia i m, had g ae to New York daring the Sorf ilk meeting and had arranged matte:- satisfactorily ■with the representatives of tbe Jockey Club aad t sraa with this understanding that horsemen shipped i . c lumbla and raced there. Bar semen look anon the action of the eastern body In announcing at this late day that they and their h traes have been out lawed, as an unwarrantable proceeding. They claim that some son of notification should have been glv-*n into., the Columbia meeting began and that the stories given out by the promoters and printed in the paper- should at i ;i-r have been denied.
