that has ever been made in the
academy. He is only soyears of nge,
and on the 12th will ship on the war
ship, Chicago, as a for
a two-years cruise. His gallant rescue
of a lady and her two little children
last summer and his high standing
assure that he will do his State and
Government valuable service in the
future. The young man is here on n
short visit to his parents and is very
modest in his deportment and takes
his defeat for first place in his class in
a very good spirit. He is a native of
