Show FIRST CROSS-COUNTRY RUN OF THE SEASON The first cross-country run of the season sea-son was held at the University of Utah Monday night. There jere thirty starters and all finished. Coach Mad-dock Mad-dock started them off under the guidance gui-dance of Capt. L. C. Brown and the squad did the course of about four and a half miles in thirty-one minutes. The course as laid out by Capt. Brown and Coach Maddock is In the shape of a triangle. The start is made at the flag pole in the center of the campus and goes south past the football field for about two miles, to near the penitentiary, peniten-tiary, then northeast to the border of the Fort Douglas reservation and then west to the flag pole again. Coach Maddock was much pleased with the number of men who turned out I and with the speed with which they got over the course. Out of. the thirty starters sixteen finished in a bunch, while the rest straggled somewhat. The members of the Cross-Country club are enthusiastic and while none of them Is In first-class shape as yet they will shortly be doing some fast work. While the present- course will be adhered ad-hered to for a time at least it is thought that when the men get more used to the work and familiar with the country that hare and hounds will be introduced and several other courses laid out.

The story published in New Tork to the effect that the Prince of Wales will shortly proceed on another tour of the world in command of a cruiser crui-ser squadron visiting, among other places, New Tork. appears to be without foundation except for the fact, which has leen known for over a year past, that the Prince will probably visit India during dur-ing the summer of 1906.
