An Interesting decision was rendered recently by Judge ownsend in the Cited States Cireutt Court In this district in the case of the Amertean Waltham Wateh Company vs. Joseph H. Sandman, Cotpiatnant is the well-known manu- facturer of Waltham watches at Waltham, Mass, From the opinion, It appears that complainant since 1834 has sold nearly $,000,000 watch movements, all of which, with few ex- ceptions, have borne the name “ Waltham. That originally the name Waltham was used tn a geographical sense, but that, by long-continued use, It has acquired a secondary meaning as a designation of complainant's watches ; that ta 1805 one E. A. Locke, for whom the defendant was the sole selling agent, began te manufacture of watches at Waltham under the name of Columbia Watch Company ; that said Locke, who was nota resident of Waltham, stated that he should locate his business there because the word “Waltham” | had come tobe known all over the world through the watches made by the complainant, and “because the word + Waltham * would sells watch.” The opinion states farther that the watches made by the sald Locke aud sold by the defendant, which were usually marked “Columbla Watch Company, Waltham, Mass.,” were stamped with much higher humibers than the amount actually manufactured called for, So as to suggest, together with the name Waltham, the older and original manufacture of watches made by complainant. ‘The complatnant asked that the defendant be enjotned from using the word “Wattham" upon watches sold by him, with- out some accompanying statcment clearly distinguishing them from the watches manufactured hy the complalnant. Judge Townsend, after quoting and approving the dectston tn the corresponding case of Amertcan Waltham Watch Com- pany vs. United States Watch Company fn the Massachusetts Supreme Court, grants complainant the injunction asked for, basing his decision upon the ground that the conduct of the defendant and of his principal was tn vtolatton of the law against unfair trade, and was Intended to decelve and de fraud the public and to deprive the complainant of the trade and good-will to which it was entitled, Jack: That shows how a girl can be distant without being cold.

The illustrations are attractive and the text 1s concise and describes the various localities in a way that fs likely to lure the reader from his desk to the charms of the Northern lakes and woods. The work 1s carefully indexed, and at a glance one can obtain an accurate idea of the general character of each resort, as well as of the hotels, boarding-houses, rates, etc. A complete set of colored maps of the Adirondack Mountains, Lake George and Lake Champlaln 's included, making it a valuable reference book, as well as the {deal guide to the rummer resorts.
