The men in the different workshops have shown commendable interest and industry in the work allotted to them. The shoe shop has now about 100 pairs of shoes on hand the car penter shop has kept the necessary repairs up with commendable zeal the blacksmith shop is now in better working condition than at any time since the beginning Of my term o1 office; as I have not had competent blacksmith until within the past month, and I trust that better results will be shown from that shop in the future.
 The tailor shop, while working steadily with three sewing machines is not able to keep the convicts in necessary clothing, and I therefore suggest that three more sewing machines be purchased for use in saic shop.
 l would also call your attention tt the fact that the shoemaker's shoI and that of the tailor are in one smal room, barely large enough for the shoe shop, and too small for the tailor shop alone, and that the timer and

gentleman whose portrait is here repro
duced is the senior partner.
MI O'Bren is native OF the county OF
Tipoerary, ireland, where he was educated.
At an early age he was sent to Clonmel, and
in that city he received his primary business
training, serving his apprenticeship in an
important establishment. From ClOnmel he
proceeded to Dublin, spending several years
in the service of two leading dTy-goods'
houses, where he carefully studied and THOR
oughfy mastered the intricacies Of his business.
He came TO this city in 1867, before the at
tainment of his majority. Soon after his
arrival he opened small store on Third
street and there laid the foundation of the
gigantic business which he now directs.
Under Mr. O'Brlen's skillful management
his trade rapidly increased, and his quarters
becoming 100 limited, he secured larger
store on Market street. opposite the Palace.
The continuous steady growth of the bust
ness soon neceSSitated a further enlarge
ment, and the stock was removed TO the
Arcade Building, adjoining the Baldwin
Hotel. In 1886 the volume OF custom had
attained such mammoth proportions that
the occupancy of more cOmnod3Ous rooms
became imperative, and upon the CONF
