Enthusiastic Greeting by Big Audi
ence to Explorer

London, May 5.-Before an audi
ence which filled every corner of Roy
al Albert hall, the Royal Geographical
society last night presented Command
er Robert E. Peary with the special
gold medal of the society, and

American explorer as "the first and
only human being who ever led par
ty of his fellow creatures to pole of
the earth" A. silver replica Of the
medal was presented to Captain Rob
ert A. Bartlett.
When the two explorers entered the
hall, accompanied by Major Leonard
Darwin, president of the society, the
audience arose and accorded them a
reception befitting national heroes.
Cheer followed upon cheer, and 1t was
some minutes before President Oar
win, who occupied the chair with
Peary and Bartlett on either side,
could get a hearing. He briefly in
troduced Commander Peary and de-
clared amid a storm OF cheers that as
the representative of the Royal Geo
igraphical society and armed with full
authority from its council, he well
coined the commander as the only
man who had led party to the pole.
Commander Peary prefaced his lee
ture with tribute to the British Arc
tic explorers who for centuries had
made such splendid efforts to reach
the pole, and who had paved the way
for those coming after. The lecture
was enthusiastically received the au-
dience again rising to cheer when a
picture showing the Stars and Stripes
flying at the pole was thrown upon a
screen.

GOOD SHOW FOR PRICE
BILLY the Boy Artist Again at Opera
House Tonight.

A good sized audience greeted
"Billy the BOY Artist" company at the
opera house last evening and Judging
from the laughter and applause the
play and caste made a hit. The play
Is founded on the cartoons drawn by
I'D Payne In the Boston Sunday Globe
and is much better than the average
cartoon play.
The caste Is made up OF clever peo-
pie and the chorus Is an exceptional
one being made up OF ten pretty
young girls all full OF life and ginger.
There are % musical numbers IN the
piece and they are OF the sort that Is
heard whistled on the street the next
day.
The costumes. while not made by
Worth" are good and the special
scenery carried by the company is
new aud appropriate. Taking the
play. cast, scenery and all combined Il
is we'll worth the time and money
spent to see Il and should be greeted
by a capacity house this evening
The prices are only %, 30 and 90
cents and the show Is fully as good as
Is seen In the cities at those prices
and Is better than some dollar and q
half shows seen In Bennington.

Washington. ID. c., May s.
Through consolidation OF the rural
free delivery service and the star
route service Of the Post Office De-
partment, effective July /, the postmas
ter General. Mr. Hitchcock. expects
to save several million dollars. The
consolidation Is called the Division Of

from Il.
The two services have provided
practically the same kind OF mail

has been distinct. The star route ser
vice has been conducted by the Di-

Ofcourse even in those days when nine

center jumped for the ball in the mid

AN AH~v DAILY TRisljNe SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY o.
ILLINOIS ASKS FOR LATE
DATE WITH THE MAR00NS
WANT THE ANNUAL FOOTBALL
GAME LAST OF OCTOBER
WISCONSIN MIDDLE eTlLL
UNSETTLED.

Coach A. Alonzo Stage has organ
lied a minor national football rules
committee. The new body met at tho
Reynolds club Of the Unworthy OF
Chicago and drew up q code Of foot
ball statutes preliminary to tho gath
ering of the United States committee
in New York February and s.
The Midway schedule progressed "a
vorably with the announcement that
Illinois had applied for q game and
would be given a date In October.
Coach HUFF asked for the third Sat-
urday in October. and while Coach
Stage could not make any agreement
before a board meeting, 1t is under
stood that that date will be kept for
the down staters.
Coach Huff's request disposed OF the
complaints of some Of the Illinois
alumni, who objected to the early
date last fall on the grounds that Ill
inois could not prepare for the Ma
rooms early in October. Minnesota
Wisconsin and Cornell will follow the
Illini, according to the latest draft
of the tentative schedule.
The Wisconsin faculty again strad-
died the seven.game football schedule
proposition and, instead Of voting for
or against two extra games for next
fall, referred the petition of the stu
dents back to the athletic council.
The failure of the faculty to act ia
vorably on the petition was COM
plete surprise, as President Van H1se
had stated unoflcially that there
would be little opposition to 1t. The
action will cause delay in making the
football schedule for 1910. az the earh-
est possible consideration Of the ques-
ton again will be in March.
While Yale's eleven has been sur
passed on the gridiron at different
times. the Ellis never were kept down
for any length of time, and Yale
ranks head and shoulders above Har-
ward and the rest Of the colleges wnen
it comes to football, Yale has had
q remarkable succession OF football
stars and since 1889 the New Haven
institution of learning never has been
headed by any other college IN It's
production of football wonders.
The mighty guard. Hefflehnger,
came in 1889, and the next year NC
Chung was developed. These two made
Yale football history until 1891.
Then the good work was taken up
by Hinkey, who starred until "a.
Then came Murphy, who was hero
for two seasons. In '93 and "a Butter

brilliantly.
Other stars on the gridiron followed
in the manner stated below: Holt'

in .'o2 and '03; Shevlin, '04 and '05;
Bigelow, 'o6 and '07, and Capt. Coy Tor
