Limited,"
The founders of the Company are pos semed of a plant of machinery complete in For the every particular, of the newest design and the finest workmanship and adapted for the making of all impiemonts used in the watch trade as well as the making of watches. It is well known that machinery has affected a complete rovolution in the watch trade and it is nonficiently expected that by availing itself of the comparatively cheap labour of this country this Compans will be able to supply the trade in all parts of the world with an article which for
excellence of workmanship and cheapnens
of price will defy competition.
Mr P. H. Wheeler, the Superintendent i of the Company, has been for many years
deraloping engaged in
walch-making machinery, and the testimonide from his former employers testify to his business i ability, skill and integrity. The machinery of which the founders are possessed w been perfected under his superintendance and a considerable part thereof is of his invention.
Bosider the Machinery the founders are possessed of ten thousand watches in various stages of completion which are the out-tyrn of the said Machinery; and mate- rial on hand sufficient to turn out about i twenty-five thousand more. It will thug be seen that it is not an untried plant which the founders have acquired, but one which has already given proofs of its excel- lence. It was only the advantage of obtaining a cheaper labour market than can be found in the United States that has induced them to work the business in
Japan.

Our Own Correspondent' also refers to the postal administration of the Co- loay, and this gives him an opportunity of making a pun which must have com vulsed the readers of the North-China Daily News.

a matter of fact, however, Brownis has been going for the Acting Post maater-Ganeral with a fairly heavy bludgeon, and we sincerely hope that he will continue to go for the postal authorities until a very great improve ment in the service is effected.

space of three weeks is something worse than a fraud, and can hardly be gone for too severely. The writer in our northern contemporary says that this kind of thing is very annoying. We should call it simply intolerable. The so-called: postal service has become a byword in the colony. Allowing that, as
Our Own Correspondent suggests, the building, the staff and the delivery ser rice are all wholly inadequate for the purpose, this does not explain the uttar icompetence of the department. There's must also be either an almost total ingnorance of the methods on which they business of the Post Office should be conducted, on the part of those respon..." sible for it, or an equally reprehensible want of supervision over the details of the work for which the department exists. The postal service question is one which the Government ought to take up at ence, and, after taking adequate pro vision for it, insist on the work of the Post Office being properly carried out. A defective and unreliable postal sør.“ evice is really worse then no service at.
