A DUCAL OPINION.

A leading joweller, in speaking of the very handsome out of the Waterbury Watch Company which appeared in a recont issue of the Review, gave your correspondent the following little incident illustrating the popularity and high estimation ia which the Amerioan lowpriced watches ?are held in England. He says: "While in England last summer I happened to be in the vicinity of Eaton Hall, Chester, one of the country seats of the Duke of Westminster, where there was a meeting of yeomanry and some 200,000 people assembled. All were indulging in gan.es and festivities, the "'Duke being present in person and mingling freely with the others, when bis Grace was accosted by one of his friends, who remarked that there were reported to be several pickpockets present, and that he had better look out for his watch. The Duke laughingly replied that he was grateful for the warning, as he bad a watch which ho valued highly, although of small cost and that he would hate to part with it, at the came timo pulling out a handsome Waterbury. Tho master of the hounds informed mo that he wore this watob in preference to all others." This endorsement from one of the nobility whose income is 700,000d0l per annum is not bad for an # Amerioan product. This is autheatio, and is not an advertlaomeat.— Jcwelleri Review,
