JUDGE, GARTRELL NOW.
The Suave Ex-Mexican Now a
Rank Republican Office Seeker
in Sunny Texas.

In this day of surprises there is
little new under the sun. But once
IN a while one comes across some
thing that sends a cold chill up his
spinal column and makes him pine
for q sphere in which serenity il
the watchword and where the
jewel, consistency, occupies a place
high in the estimate OF men.
There was no greater Democrat
in the Seventh Congressional dis
trict two or three years ago than
DR.. J. l.. Gartrell. The suave
Doctor was present at all Democrat
ic love feasts and when he threw
out his broad, manly bosom and
extolled the merits of Democracy,
d0ubters hocked to his side and
support. But, alas, it Is all over
now The good Doctor left Mexico
and his many friends a year or two
since to seek a more cOngenial
cline in sunny Texas. In the
State where the Democratic plu-
rality is 10000, the Doctor, always
generous, took up with the minor
ity; and according 10 the letter APP
pended, he is now rapidly travel
ing the road to fame and riches on
a Republican ticket. The letter is
as follows:

several Interesting Contests at the
Natatorium.

Several Interesting Contests at the
Natatorium.
A special entertainment, in the shape
of 250-yards swimming contest, was
provided by the proprietors of the Nata-
torium, on Fort street, last night, for the
benefit of their patrons. The accommo-
dations set apart for visitors were
crowded with interested spectators of
both sexes, there being quite as many
ladies present as are usually seen on
Tuesday evenings, when no gentlemen
are admitted unless accompanied by
members of the fairer sex.
The programme last night included an
aquatic exhibition by Prof. Sundstrom,
who performed a number Of difficult feats
in the water-diving two lengths of the
bath, smoking under water, turning
somersaults, etc.
The next feature was two.lengths tub
race for boys, which brought out but two
competitors, John Young and Will
Slaught. Owing to the unstable nature
of their shallow craft each had quite a
number of upsets during the race, which
was finally won by Young after an excit-
ing contest.
Three contestants appeared to pariici
pate in the event of the evening, $50
yard swimming race. They were J. w.
George, r. H. Davis and G. J. Schultze
and, from appearances, the trio were
pretty we'll matched. They were sent
away to very fair start, Schultze max
ing the pace for the first lap or two, with
Davis close up and George apparently
paying no attention to either of them,
but forging through the water with a
wonderfully steady stroke. In the third
lap Schultze was still ahead, but his at
tempt to force the pace told on him to
such an extent that in the next lap he
retired. Davis still maintained slight
lead over his opponent, who never
changed his stroke for an instant, and
this order OF things was kept up until the
ninth lap, when Davis commenced to
spurt. George, however, was evidently
nursing himself, for on turning for the
tenth lap he changed his stroke, and,
steadily coming away from Davis, won
the race in the eleventh lap by over half
length.
