Great Distance Runners.

Athletic sharps are awaiting with keen
interest the dual meet between Cornell
and Pennsylvania on the latter'S field
next Saturday. From present indica-
lions there will be four unusual races.
These are in the quarter, the half, the
mile and two-mile runs. In each of
these the cream of the intercollegiate
world will compete, and the competi-
ton is likely to he just as keen as in
the intercollegiates.
The FACE which is likely to be of the
greatest interest is the mile, in which
Cornell hopes to have a man who can
beat w. c. PAUL, the holder of the in
tercollegiate record OF AT 4-5. The man
most likely to run against PAUL Is
Jones. the cross-country champion.
Jones is equally fast at the half and
mile runs. and nothing would please
Cornell better than to find in him
man to take Paull's measure. much as
Taylor did last year. PAUL himself is
running In something like his old form
now. and If Jones does his part tle race
will be run in near record time.
The two-mile run will bring together
Berna. the intercollegiate champion,
and Wolfe, who finished third last year.
Wolfe has improved greatly this year,
and the Quakers think he will he in
the same class with Berna. In the half

RoadIess Russia.

Russia is Il rOGd!esS land. 1t is in
conceivable TO the foreign visitor who
has ever left the beaten track Of the
railways in Russia how great EN-
pire can have subsisted so long and SO
successfully amid the competition of
the rival states beyond its borders
without even a pretelse at roads.
The secret, Of course, les in the fact
that for five or six months in the year
nature hor'c'f provides roads over the
greater part Of the eXpanse Of all the
Iussias, admirably smooth, CLASSY
roadwayS over hard worn snow The
traffic Is further cheapened over these
roads by the substitution of a sledge
runner for the wheel and axle. This
brings the cost of land carriage as
uear the cheapness of water borne
freight as possible. and it is the prin
cipal reason why Russia in the TWEEN
tieth century Is still n roadless land
