WATCHES

The cost consideration in buy
ing your watch should be an az
ter thought. The paramount
consideration should be, Am
getting the best?"
The hest watch means one of
perfect parts. The materials
must be choicest. The work
manship must be the finest that
skilled hands and keen eyes and
great brains can produce; the
finish must be elegant.
But beyond all this il should
pass through the hands of deal
err whose personal knowledge
will be your safeguard in future
days.
That is the kind of watch ser
vice we offer.

VIII Break Records, Say
Railroad Men

Thirteen hundred persons entered Los
Angeles on Admission day with the in
tention of making this city their head
quarters during the winter. The trains
of all the railways were so heavily loaded
with human freight that it was necessary
to divide them into sections to make ac-
commodations possible.
All the trains were on time and rail-
road officials are of the opinion that
no difficulty will be experienced in the
near future with regard to delays, as
was the case during the early part of
last fall The officials of the companies
are taking time by the forelock this sea-
son, as they expect even a greater influx
Of easterners into Los Angeles than ever
before.
Already 5000 Fasteners have taken adj
vantage of the low rates rendered by the
various companies, and Los Angeles is
extending a hearty welcome to them.
The hotel managers say that their busi-
ness is increasing daily and that they are
making sweeping preparations for the
accommodation of their winter guests.
Yesterday was the first day to really
inaugurate the coming winter season.
The arrivals during the last few weeks
have been hundreds daily, although no
accurate count has been kept.

Henry e. Huntington left last night
for the east. where he will arrange for
the coming financial year of the Pacific
Electric and confer with financiers OF

gressive schemes Of enlarging his rail-
way system.
Mr. Huntington is accustomed to make
this eastern trip ever year, as his busi-
ness interests demand it,
Mr.. Eaton, the magnates confident,
was busy yesterday with stenographers
and other assistants arranging maps,
papers and necessary paraphernalia
which Mr.. Huntington invariably car
ries with him on his extensive trips so
as to be in immediate touch with his
business.
1t is thought that during his stay in
New York city he will settle once for
all the much-talked-of Los Angeles-San
Diego electric railway system which has
been matter of keen interest to both
cities since its construction was first
rumored.

CIRCUS PARADE EXTENDS
THPEE MILES IN STREETS
Procession Contains 1900 Persons, and
Animals of All Sizes and
klnds-Horses Num-
ber 65s

When Ringing Brothers come to Los
Angeles for three days, commencing on
Monday, September q, they will present
parade entirely new in idea and equip
ment. These famous showmen have al
ways led the word in the splendor, the
novelty and the variety of their street dis
play, and this year even more interest
attaches to their great pageant than ever
before.
To begin with, it is fully three miles
long, or three times the length of any
other and in every foot Of 1t there is
something to be seen that was never seen
before. There are over 1900 people in
the line. gathered from every nation on
the face of the earth; 65S of the most
beautiful horses that ever stepped to
music; nine herds of elephants. cara
van of camels ard dromedaries, ponies no
larger than Newfoundland dogs, and more
animals displayed in open (dens than are
owned by any other circus In America.
The various displays that make up the
parade are absolutely novel and glittering
with silver-mounted trappinge, gold foil
| and the richest of silks. Every thread OF
| the costumes, every wagon, van, chariot
| and float is new and of the most elaborate
make. The parade is led by a great gold
en- band chariot, just imported. and draw
| by thirty snow-white horses.
1 Panoramas of allegory, mounted bards
illuminated fairyland floats, the royalty o
savage lands seated in glittering throne
on the undulatirg backs Of camels an
elephants; Persian harems, blazing witt
jewels and dressed in the costliest fabric
of Oriental woof; ga,lants OF sword ant
buckle; picturesque brigands from sant
plain, forest and high road; celebrated
beauties from the courts of the far east
| barbarian orchestras Esquimaux hunters
| and hundreds of other highly entertaining
and spectacular features-all entwine
themselves into one. long chain of sur
prises that unfold in endless variety.
| In keeping with this splendid pageant
are all the various other departments that
go to make up the greatest amusement
enterprise In the world The performance
this season under the great canopy pavil-
ion is introduced by a spectacle Of gor-
geous beauty, in which 1000 people and 600
horses appear. The costuming is more
gorgeous than ever and the brilliancy of
the scene Is enthralling. The acts that
follow in the three arenas and on the two
stages are without a single exception the
this country, the best of European talent
having been engaged to give the program
the stamp of novelty.
The Ringing Brothers are far in ad-
vance of all other circus proprietors in
the matter of progression and modern
methods. This year they have reached
the absolute limit of size, as their great
trains, with combined length of one mil e
and a half, are taxing the railroads to
the utmost.
