"Being assigned to sea duty, he quickly
showed himself an intrepid officer, cap
turing many prizes from the British and
striking swift and sudden blows for the
cause of liberty.
"In the fall of 1875 he was promoted
to Captain and continued his gallant
prowess against the foe. In 1777 he took
the United States ship Ranger to Europe
and the next year received from French
man-of-war the first salute ever given the
American flag in foreign waters by a
European warship.
"In April, 1878, he descended upon the
English coast, landed his bluejackets and
marines, scaled the cliffs of Whitehaven,
spiked thirty-eight British cannon and
spread CONSERVATION throughout the
country.
"While commanding an American and
French squadron in 1879, with the Bon

bartholomew and Mary Leahey Collins.
Patrick was the youngest OF large fami-
lv. and his father died when he was an
infant.
In lS4S his mother immigrated to
America; first settled in Boston, after
ward in Chelsea. Young Collins attended
the public schools Of the latter place, but
at the early age of twelve years obtained
employment as an errand boy in the
Office of a Boston lawyer. He left to work
in a Chelsea store, where he remained
during the following winter. His brief
experience in the law Office kindled with
in him desire for the legal profession
and doubtless shaped his later course.
Tht family subsequently removed to
the West, and at fourteen years OF age he
was telving in the coal fields OF Ohio;
eight years later he was an upholsterer in
Boston. and a member of the Massachu-
sets Legislature; at twenty-six years
member OF the Massachusetts State SEN
ate, to which body he was reelected the
following year, and in his fortieth year
he was elected to Congress. He began
life under the most unpromising circum-
stances; from the law Office and store to
the farm, coal mine, machine shop and
grind-stone mill of Ohio he rose gradual
Iy, but positively, by hard work, patient
and steady application, extensive reading,
iudicious cultivation and careful develop
ment of innate talent, to an honorable
and useful position. His sympathies
have always been with the working peo-
pie, he having enjoyed their few attend
ant advantages and suffered their many
hardships. In 1866 he joined the Fenian
Brotherhood, serving the cause with voice
and pen, aud did effective work as an
organizer.
He began the study of law in the fol.
lowing year. In 1870 he enjoyed the
unique distinction of being the youngest
member then elected to the State Senate
The excitement and fascination OF politi
cal life, however, did not distract him
from the study of law, as he graduated
with bonors from the Harvard Law Schoo
with the class of 1871. He was admitted
to the bar the same year, and has prac
ticed extensively ever since. During hi
service al the State-house he became
identified with most liberal and beneh
cent legislation, notably the ten-hou
law. admission of Catholic clergymen t
refornatory, correctional and charitable
institutions, abolition of distinct oatl
for Catholics, the improvement and de

Newport r. l., Sept. 2.-The first of
the formal trial races between Column
bia and Defender today. for the pur-
pose of selecting yacht to sail against
the Shamrock in defense of America S
cup, resulted in so decisive victory
for the new boat that were it not for
the fact that it is desirable to have her
race as much as possible, other con-
tests would seem almost useless. The
yachts sailed one of the regulation fiji
teen-mile winoward and leeward
courses in an eight knot breeze, that
increased on the beat out and flattened
out at the finish, and it took Columbia
just six minutes and forty-nine seconds
less time to cover the distance than it
did the Defender.
Nearly every one seemed fully salts
fed with the result of the race, es-
pecially the owners of the new boat,
for the steel mast which was carried
through a race for the first time GER
tainly improved her wonderfully, en-
aiding her to stand straighter than the
Defender, and therefore to outpoint her.
In fact, Columbia sailed all around the
old boat, and but for the softening of
the wind as she neared the line, and
the subsequent freshening as her rival
came up to the finish, the difference
between the two boats would have been
at least two, if not three, minutes
greater. 1t was stiff brush while 1T
elaSted, and the result was certainly no
discredit to those on Defender. At the
start Captain Rhodes berthed his boat
in excellent style and shot her over the
line seventeen seconds ahead of Co
lumbia, which was coming up rapidly
on his windward quarter.
Those who watched her saw Column
bia stand up to the breeze as never be-
fore, besides footing faster and point
ing higher. For few moments the
baby jib top sail was taken off to see
how she would hold the old boat, but
while it made little difference, it was
replaced, only to be removed again
when the wind increased to nearly
twelve knots.
The yachts made good time to the
outer mark, and would have sailed fast
er coming in had they not been delayed
considerably in setting their spinakers
Still, a thirty-mile race in little over
three and three-quarter hours is well
up to the average.
Nearly all eyes were turned at least
part of the time on the steel mast that
proved so treacherous when first 1T was
tried. Today is stood up stralghter
than any pine mast could have done,
with not the slightest sign OF buckle,
leaving little doubt that this mast or
similar affair will go through the cup
races successfully and aid her ma
terially in defeating the Shamrock.
With new sails, new mast and few
more races for the crews beneht, the
yachtsmen hereabouts are of the opln-
ion that the only point to be decided in
the great event will be as to how much
the Columbia will lead Shamrock at the
finish.

1t was not the old-time Short Line
team. Harry Miller was not there
Loire Barnes was not there, neither
was Meinecke nor Bert Margetts nor
Sandy McFarlane. They had Fred
knickerbocker at short, Billy Smith OF
the High school at third, a wooden man
named Jones at second and Alb Howell
of the High school in right field. With
that line-up they had the audacity to
go up against the Ogdens. Knicker-
booker, who had not played shortstop
for 'steen years, did lot do SO badly,
and he surprised everybody by devel-
oping a batting streak, but as for the
others, the less said the better.
Hansford was IN invincible form and
the Ogden infield was almost impreg-
nable. On the otier hand, Kidder
showed up worse than ne has before

The coming of John Lawson, the
much interest by all those who have
been following the work of the riders
on the local track.
Lawson left for the south shortly
after the opening of the Salt Palace
track, and before John Chapman and
Frank Cotter came to Salt Lake. The
relative speed of Chapman and the
Swede is the mooted question which the
cranks are arguing back and forth.
Chapman says that he has met Lawson
on other tracks, and has had no diff
ficulty with him. He thinks with his
improved form that he can ride rings
around Lawson, unless Lawson also
has gained speed since the two met on
the California circuit
Lawson will arrive in the city today
according to dispatches from the south
He finished his six weeks tour of
southern Utah at Mt. Pleasant, San
pete county, last night, and will leave
there this morning with his "infernal
machine" and all his other parapher-
MALTA.
In an interview with The Heralds
Mt. Pleasant correspondent, Lawson
said that he expected to ride at Call
der's park tomorrow afternoon, and at
the SAT- Palace tomorrow evening. Inc
engagement at Calders has since been
called off, and as yet no definite ar
engagements have been made with the
Palace management for Lawson's ap-
pearance there so it is quite likely that
he will not ride before Wednesdays
meet.
A match race between Chapman and
Lawson, the best two out of three
heats, will probably be arranged for
Wednesday night. Such an event
would pack the Palace arena, and the
Palace management will put up a good
sized purse for the match.

Wheel Notes.

A. w. Smith will be on the track
again this week after week in the
hills.
Eddie Smith is taking a lay off.
Smith worked too hard last week and
is suffering from staleness.
The crackajacks are slowly vending
their way westward and ought to
reach Salt Lake in three weeks more.
They will be here all through October.
Manager Schefski has made several
efforts to get the Ogden amateurs
partners of De Wolfe who rode here
last week, to come down and have a
try in the amateur races.
Fred Meakin and John Ensign broke
about even in last weeks races and the
admirers of the two amateurs are
never sure which is going to win out in
any given race. The men are very
evenly matched but Meakin is gener-
ally considered the better man.
Papa Smith is still talking of race
meets at Calder's park but as yet no
arrangements have been made for any
more races there. The popularity of
the Palace track has so put the
Calder's track in the shade that meet
on the latter would scarcely prove a
financial success.
George Weller will appear on the
Palace track in competition with the
other riders on Monday night Weller
has not yet trained down to his old
time professional form but he expects
to make creditable showing. After
his exhibition Weller was doubtful OF
riding but Friday he made up his mind
to get out.
Many people have wondered why
Fred Meakin and John Ensign do not
go into the professional class as either
one is fast enough to trot in pro-
fessional company. Meakin expects to
enter college in another year and hence
prefers to retain his amateur standing.
Ensign is seriously contemplating
turning professional and may do so at
some future meet.
