We have seen that DR.. Holmes made up his
mind while studying medicine In Paris to es-
chew ventures in literature and to conhne
himself strictly to his profession. On tho
whole, no kept with tolerablo firmness to
his early resolutions for upward Of thirty
years. Nevertheless, not n twelvemonth passed
in which lie did not write some verses. and
many of these found their way into print.
During his one year at the law school a genuine
lyric outburst OF his made him actually famous
In n way. The incident is, perhaps, less familiar
now than II was sixty years ago. The frigate
Constitution, lying. in 1880. in the navy
yard at Chnrlestown. was condemned by
the Navy Department to be destroyed.
On a scrap OF paper, with a lead PEN
Gil. Holmes rapidly shaped the stanzas

Daily -1drcrtiS"r OF Boston. The verses tray

country. They gave the ship n reprieve which
satisfied scntimentality. and n lnrre part of the
people of the United States had heard OF o. w.
Holmes before he was twenty-five years Of age.
Touching the place OF Holmes among verse
makers the present biographer writes with
much good sense and admirable tact. lie de-
clines to answer the question whether his sub
ject was n genuine poet, and Is frank enough to
say that Saintc-l}euve according TO n deini-

THE RELAY RACE.
No Date Yet Selected-rlen Who VIII
Compose the Teams.

It is with much disappointment that
those interested in wheeling have
learned that on account Of the rainy
weather and the muddy condition of the
roads the relay race between the Capital
City Wheelmen of Sacramento and the
Terminal City Wheelmen of Stockton
has been postponed until some future
date
Relay racing was inaugurated by
the Capital City Wheelmen and the
Oak Leaf Wheelmen of Stockton, and
not by the San Francisco clubs, as has
been stated. The initial race was run
in the month of May, 1892. 1t was a
fifty mile race, and was won by the
Capital City's. The second relay race
was between the same clubs, and was
run in May, 1894. 1t was hundred
mile race, from Sacramento to Stockton
and return, and was won by the Oak
Leaf Wheelmen of Stockton.
The coming hundredmile race has
aroused great interest among the wheel
men, also the general public, and prom
ises to be one of the fastest and most
hotly contested relay races ever run on
this coast.
The teams of both clubs have been
framing h2rd Tor tne past HoHtH lhF
men are in excellent form, and from the
time made by the members of the Cap
ital City Wheelmen's team at their re-
cent try-out, it looks as if the coast rec
crd for one hundred miles may be
broken.
