When we are in a sportive mood.we put a saddle and a jockey on him and land a Grand National, or when we wi^h to do the conventional at a wedding or a biithday party we select a "Misses" WaterLury, little larger than a florin, and gain at ot en the good graces of the recipient and her triends.

The new Wateri>urys will bear critical inspection, and a visit to >'v- agents may reßult in a Baying of many (j.-mnds. The day of gaudy, expensive timekeepers is over, and the Waterbury reigns.
