MR.. WALTON For MAYOR.


The Butte democratic city conyen
ton yesterday was characterized by
harmony and good, sound sense. The
rivalry between the friends of the two
gentlemen whose names were pre-
scented for the mayoralty nomination
was of the friendliest character, and
when the count disclosed that Mr.. Val
iton was the choice of the convention
the minority acquiesced most cheer
fully and heartily. The nomination
was made unanimous, not in the

The "soiree hypnotiQue" is the latest

to attract universal attention and give
rise TO some little uneasiness and
alarm. which. however. learned students
of hypnotism declare to be needless.
In n discussion as to the limitations of
hypnotism i'm the commission of vica-
rious offenses. Charcot in the April
Forum concludes that criminals have
little temptation TO make use of prox-
les and that crimes of this sort would
continue to be very rare.
Whatever be its relations to crime,
hypnotism is an inviting field for study,
research and experiment. II is no
wonder that the soiree h~ypnotique has
so suddenly sprung into fashion. IL
possesses all the elements of popularity.

Sultan"
Cazador thus discourses in a San
Francisco paper about the Llewellyn
setter recently imported to Los Angeles: :
Regarding the young setter Stan
ford, which Mr.. H. T. Payne lately
received from the east, you make mis-
take in his breeding. Gladstone-Ruby
IL is certainly good enough blood for
even the most exacting, as Ruby ii is
full sister to Bryson's famous Sue, and
J. M. Avent's junio A, the two grand
est dams of field dogs in the world. But
the breeding of Mr.. Payne's Stanford is
even better than this, for he is sired by
that great sire of field trial winners,
Count Noble, out OF Ruby's Girl, and it
is she that is by Old Champion Glad
stone-Ruby II, as given in your issue OF
November 29th.
"It will, therefore, be seen that Stan
ford carries in his veins the blood
straight, and without the adulteration
of various crosses-of Count Noble, Glad
stone, Druid and Ruby, dogs whose
names are familiar to every sportsman,
and from whose loins have sprung more
than half of all the trial winners of
America, counting every strain and
breed of whatever kind and nature.
Now as to the dog Stanford himself.
He is only fifteen months, and, Of
course, has not yet filled out, but he ex-
hibits good frame built on lines for
speed and endurance. His head, which
is smaller than we are accustomed to in
California dogs, is we'll shaped, with
splendid low-set ears. He has long
clean neck, stands high at the should
ers, strong in his coupling and depth OF
chest. but in my judgment his strongest
point is his hips and hind legs. In
color he is white with lemon ears. He
is full Of point and speed, and very
wide ranger, but as yet he is only par
TALLY broken. He gives promise of de-
veloping into dog OF far more than
average beauty an d a good fielder. His
blood should prove valuable infusion
with that of the settlers of this coast.
Young as he is, Mr.. Payne has already
bred him to one of his bitches, and as
the bitch is bench winner herself, the
coming puppies should be something
nice. DAGwoRTH.

Ten of the young men of the Los An

in a cross country run, which proved to
be very enjoyable. The runners started
from Evergreen cemetery at 10 O'Clock
and headed for Santa Fe springs. The
San Gabriel river proved an obstacle to
the fleeted excursionists. Considerable
time was lost in wading the stream.
Hopperstead and Chapman were the
first to reach the river. The run to
Santa Fe springs was made in hours
and minutes. The distance covered is
said to be thirteen miles. The boys en-
joyed sulphur bath and hearty din

''Mr. Hobart informs daily newspa-
per reporter that he will have no further
effort made to reduce Stamboul's record
this year, and that the big bay horse is
to be taken home to San Mateo to rest
himself up for stud service in February.
We do not believe it will make much
difference whether he holds the record
or not. Nelson obtained his on kite
track, of which there are none in Cali
fornia, while Stamboul got his on a
track of the usual shape. Give the big
fellow kite to trot upon, and 2 :09 will
not stop him, in our belief. Mr.. Hobart
need not worry about Stamboul's future
He has made a reputation for himself al
very early age, and his great size and
liberty of action will always give him
the call over equally rapid horses si
any such there be. Such horses as
Stamboul are bred a few times in a cen
tury. If anybody doubts this, let hin
