Saratoga style.

Saratoga style.
"JENxlNs," a correspondent of the Buffalo
Republic, is taking notes Of fashionable society
at Saratoga. His description of some of the
Buffalo hyfalutins is SO refreshing that We must
present it to our readers-they can here see the
extreme Of that folly which some in the West
only venture to touch the borders of:
1t is impossible to describe the exquisite
scene as entered the immense, magnificent and
illimitable drawing room Of Congress Hail.
RapturOus forms hoated around me in the mazy
dance to lazy music, while "voluptuous swells"
in tght-bodied coats, and the most delicate straw
cOlOred kids. hung upon the celestial halt-c!Oth-
ed forms that mistily filled the halls with lace,
glances and perfumes. have only time to de-
cribe three or four OF the heavenly beings who
represented your city on this occasion.
Miss G-n-l-tham of Delaware street, was
dressed in profound maroon, with lace dang
lers, Chinese head dress, and high heeltd slip
pers, with pink EXAMINATIONS. She had an en-.
ticing swing to her drapery that captivated the
entire male assemblage, and created an envy
among the angels-present. Her sister was
dressed in blue tnrban, with marabout feath.
trs, her face exquisitely painted with lily white
and carmine-the very rosiness of health and
animation. She had very low -nccled dress
and bare arms, with little isthmas of lace
strap on each shoulder, to give the appearance
Of a connection. The ladies present stated
very plainly that "she didn't have enough
clothes to 60 round" while the gentlemen, one
and all, declared that they did not see that she
was 0rer-dressed in the least, and so far as hkey
could see they were perfectly satisfied with her
appearance.
Mrs. Do-h-mb-gh, Of Main street, was
gorgeously dressed in straw -colored founces,
lOoped with rOsettes of velveteen, with cores
setin by particular request. Her lemon-colored
bertha excited jealous rage, so beautiful and
costly was it, and her bay -colored gloves fitted
faultlessly. She nas too sucet to liue (Oh,
Jenkins.)
Miss Won Ra-g-ss-e, of Washington
street, wore dress of green silk over blue
and white tarleton, so arranged to be invisible
except when exhibited. Her corsage was trim
med with grenadne pufings, expanding around
the neck in the form OF a Queen Elizabeth ruff,
and dropping gracefully to her heels, where it
lay on the floor in delicious lace puddles. She
was the charming epitome of all that is deli
cious end warm in woman. Jenkins-Jenkins.)
That's all we can give of Jenkins to day
He intends to come on in a day or two, and at.
tend the hops at the Cataract House, Niagara
Falls, OF which he will give us full account
O. Uncle Ben has just the prettiest, lightest,
neatest, fastest, gay est style of fall hats out
We have one Of them locked up in our big
"chist" till we visit Mrs. Croly. Uncle Ben
says we will captivate all Rockford with it, and
We think Uncle Ben is right-BRicK.
To match that "hat," We have got the bright
est, bluest, most fascinating bonnet, with
feather, that was ever seen. 1t has Just ar
rived from from r. Il. Wilde's fashionable Mil
linery establishment, PSI Broadway, N. Y, and
We expect to make sensation in it, riding
round with Brick Pomeroy, "making calls.''-
BY the way, we would just suggest to Mr.. Pom
eroy, that he had better bring revolver, and
one or two bowie knives with him for case of
emergency, as the gentlemen, particularly the
married men, are so alarmed at the prospect Of
his visit. that there is talk of organizing Viz
