stantial, are to he had at Congress
Hall, corner of Main and Requena

exciting time may be looked for.
Owing to the limited space giver
to the exhibitors of wagons, tht
Cortland Wagon Company's cele
brated platform spring wagons
could not be shown off al
they should have been. Mr.
Luitweiler, the agent for the sale O.
these wagons in California, ha'
several fine specimens which he in
tended to exhibit, among them {
very fine delivery wagon, which
can be used also for family purposes
Also, an elegant phaeton which III
ordered especially for q gentleman
living at the Mission. These art
truly fine pieces of workmanship
aud we are sorry the space was 81
limited as to prevent their being
eshilited. 1t will well repay any
Gle to call and see them at No. Il
Also street. The success which hal
attanded Mr.. Luitweiler since b,
began business here speaks we'll fo
the quality of his work and hi
manner of dealing.

abilities are that, within the mex
year, Los Angeles will have raj
Communication with Tucson.
