WATOHES TTtTHEN the historian records tho yen " " of .tho nineteenth century he wil describe it as the era in which tho mcl chanicalarte reached their apex. As the period of Elizabeth is known to students as tho ago of litciature, the present century, although also remarkable for its intellectual acumen, will be ohlefly remembered as the age of inventions and of productive excellence. Mon not yob elderly can remember the introduction of the locomotive, the steamship, and the art A. 'jehting by gas. To those more youthful the triumphs of electricity have not yet lost tho keen edge of noveltyj and the telegraph, telephone, microphone and the electric light stand as Bhining beacona to mark the marvellous progress of tho nineteenth century. Tho general impetus which the inventive genius of the age has given to the arts and sciences is strikingly illustrated by the wonderful improvements in the manufacture of Watches. S. E. COOPER can now sell for & comparatively trifliDg sura. Watches that for general excellence could not have been produced for twice the money only a few years ago. Those sceptical as to this assertion should inspect his stock, which is not only the largest and most varied in Hawke s Bay, but doe 3no t contain a single spepimon of tho "Brummagem" good which English chcapjacks try to palm upon colonial buyers, using tho post-office and stilted "coupon" announcements to deceive the unwary. Every sensible man knows that tho beat way to get a good watch is to purchase from a reliable Tradesman, and that to trust to birds of passage, or to purveyors of puffed-up gim. cracks mnde f or the fancy shops of Houndsditch, is simply to in vito loss of money and t much vexation, ) .
