A RISING YOUNG JOCKEY.
Danny Maher Is One of the Best
knights of the Pigskin.

The marvellous success which has been
the lot of Danny Maher during the past
month has earned for that clever light
weight host of friends. Success nearly
always affects a rider with exalted opin-
ions of his own Importance, but with
Maher .big head has failed to develop
He is today the same bright-eyed civil
youngster that he was when he first made
his bid for fame.
Experience has of course, enabled him
to realize that he can ride, burt he has
failed to follow in the footsteps of most
of his craft.
Seated in the paddock at Brighton the
other day he told the writer, in his peculiar
quiet way, the secret of his success. 1t
was: 'I try to ride as Sloane does, and
don't you think he is a pretty good one to
follow? He wins lot of races and there
must be something in his style"
Although but sixteen years old, Maher
has had a lot of experience with horses.
When baby his father was proprietor
of a farriers' shop in Hartford, Conn,
and almost from the day Danny could
toddle about he spent his time with the
forges and anvils. Nothing amused him
as much as to be lifted on the back o1
some old horse and trotted about on tht
neighboring roads. AS he grew older hi:
| love for horses increased, and when sever
| he was turned over to his uncle, NJ. j
| DAILY. to be educated as jockey.
| In 1894 at Providence, Maher rode nj
| first race, on a horse of Daly's, which h
won. but the officials placed him second
| At the time he weighed fifty-two pounds
| He continued to ride for DAILY until 1896
| when he signed to ride for Trowbridge
| Arkell. Last Summer he rode for Lev
| Elmorse, and in the fall was engaged b.
| Dave Gideon, to whom he Is still unde
| contract, and to quote an old saying, ID
| is the best horse in the stable.
The boys work has won the approve
of the best of judges, and it goes almos
without saying that his services are l
great demand.
Those who have known him attripu'
his success to his willingness to obey IN
orders of his superiors and his good nal

done he seeks his quarters, and there r.

Considine, of Detroit, Mich, has been
transacting Corbett's business in the box
ing line while Brady confines his work
to looking after things theatrical, and his
interests in the American Cycle Racing
Association and the negro rider, Major
Taylor. A man who knows both Corbett
and Brady quite intimately was asked If
they had had a row, and he replied
mo, l don't think they have had any

Brady remarked that Corbett had only

CYCLING newsstand GOSSIP.

The bicycle for 1899 has practically been
completed in general outline by a good
many manufacturers, and before the end
of next month every manufacturer in the
country will have practically adopted the
models to be turned o1t for next season.
Some manufacturers have already con-
structed the wheel they intend to put out
next season. This wheel is being given a
thorough test to determine its practica-
bility, and also to ascertain If any minor
improvements can be suggested. OF course
whatever improvements may have been
adopted are kept a secret by each man
ufacturer, who fondly hopes to have some
little change in his product that will not
be seen on the other makes of wheels.
However, on all of the wheels that will
be turned out it seems most likely that
five-sixths OF the number will have thirty
inch wheels, instead of twenty-eight, as Is
the general case this season. While some
reasons are given for the change in size,
the greatest reason is perhaps that 1t az
lords distinctive change in the general
appearance of the machine. Last year,
ana the year before, thirty-inch wheels
We're introduced generally in England
though at the present time 1t is under
stood that there are as many twenty
eight inch wheels ridden as those two
| inches larger in diameter.

kind was introduced in this city the pub
lie took to the innovation at once, and the

| during its progress a number of people
remained standing in the grand stand
| This was when the professional riders
! were contestants. Since then two or

| held, in all of which the local amateur
riders participated, except in the Titus

| stead of the contestants being mounted
on single wheels all viii ride tandems

Given in the Collins Case on Wednes-

E. G. Smith of 627 Van Buren was
called in the Collins case Wednesday
afternoon after the Journals last edi-
ton had gone to press. His house is
Smith is employed in the office of the
auditor of passenger receipts in the
Santa FTe offices. He is a civil engineer
by profession He has lived in his pres
ent home for thirty years
Mr.. Smith stated that all he has seen
during his long acquaintance with the
Collins family, beginning when they
moved into the house in which J. S. Col
Inns was killed, indicated only the most
pleasant, kind and affectionate relations
between all members of the family.
John Collins was small boy when
Smith first knew him, but during all
the years which have since elapsed, the
witness said he has not seen evidences
of unkindneSs or lack of love for his
parents and sister
Judge George A. Huron who was
slightly acquainted with ]. S. Collins
before coming to Topeka, was next
called, and he told how he had been to
Los Angeles, Denver and Columbus, O..
with Mr.. Collins on lodge business. Mr..
Huron pronounced the relations of the
members of the Collins family as al
ways cordial and conSiderate, and, as
he said, "A model family in every par
ticular." The witness also commented
especially upon the cordial relations be-
tween father and son.
On the witness stand a few days ago

at the cemetery after the funeral that
the Journal had an extra edition de-
nouncing Collins and that he had said
at the same time that a mob of ], 500
people would be waiting for John when
he came to town.
Judge Huron said that Steele
did make the above mentioned state
ments and that Steele arrested or offer
ed to arrest John Collins at the ceme-
terry.
Steele, also. it is said, denied that
John Collins said anything to him at
the time. Judge Huron, who was pres
