A DUOAL OPINION.

A leading jeweller, in speaking of the very handsome out of the Waterbury Watoh Oompany which appeared in a reoont issue of tbe Review, gave yoar correspondent the following little incident j illustrating the popularity and high estimation ia which the American lowpriced watches ;«re held in England. Ho says : " While in England laßt summer I happened to be in the vicinity of Euton | Hall, Chester, one of the country seats i of tho Duke of Westminster, -where there was a meeting of yeomanry and some ' 200,000 people assembled. AH were indulging in gacres and festivities, the Duke being present in person and mingling freely with the others, when bis Grace wbb accosted by one of bis friends, who remarked that there were reported to be several pickpockets present, and that he bad better look out for bis watch. The Duke laughingly replied that he was grateful for the ! warning, as he bad a watoh which he valued highly , Although of small cost and that he would bate to part with it, at. the lame time pulling out a handsome Waterbury. Tbe mastfar of tbe bounds informed me that he wore tbia watoh in preference to all others." This endorsement from one of the nobility whose income is 700,000d0l per annum is not bad for an American product. Tbis is authentic, and is not an advertJßOtneat.TJewelUri 1 Beview.
