WATERBURY CONUNDRUM.
A lady from Mount Eden road, Auckland, who seems to speak from au experience'which, if painful, wa trust is neither frequent nor free, sends us the following*:— From “ M.A .8.,” Auckland. . “Why is a Waterbury watch, and an Auckland bankrupt alike ?” “Because, as soon as-they are'wound ap.’ they go on ‘ tick ’ again.” We cannot sea any necessity for local colouring, because bankrupts are as much like each ether as it is possible to bo wherever they are discovered. IVs not complimentary to the Wateybuf y to be compared with .a bankrupt; we would rather see some trashy substitute that threatens to water bury every other watch spoken of in this connection. know’ one or two that, if their agents don't see the errorof their ways pretty quickly, will develop other points of resemblance.
