al AS spring opens, and the thick clothes of
winter give way for those that are thinner,
the gentlemen are naturally anxious to
know how to make up a fashionable toll
cite. The trade is opening briskly. and on
fair DAYS the larger establishments of the
CITY are crowded with well formed and fine
oTl00king gentlemen, who examine the new
:. STYLES to secure the latest novelties. From
the crown of a mans hat to the sole of his
foot there is a complete change this yearin
the style of his, dress, English fashions
seem to prevail to a great extent, and we
find the hat, che loot, the coat, watch guard
and cane are directly patterned after or i'm
ported from s'the dear old mother country"
There is better taste displayed this Yeariin
.gentlemen's dress than heretofore, with
one or two slight exceptions. We are glad
TO notice this Improvement, for the tenden-
scy of Americans is to run to extremes.
-..frrf7a.la - s COATS AND PANTS.
- The English walking sack coat, made of
both rough and smooth goods, falling
gracefully to the hips. will be worn this
sDFipgiupon the street as a business coat.
The London frock coat. single and double
breasted, made of English me1tOns, smooth
faced goods, and cassiuIeres, the lapelles
and collars OF medium size. will be eXten-
sively worn as a spring coat, both for the
street and the drawing room- The favorite
c6lors are claret. brown, dahlia, and the
blues. Vests will be made of the same
material as the coats, while the pants will
usually be lighter. A claret colored coat
and vest, with light cashmere pants, hot
only makes a fashionable suit, but is alsoin
very good taste. Numbers of gentlemen
are ordering these for the spring season.
For an evening dress, or opera coat, the
plain black swallow-tail is fashionable,
with vest of the same material; Silk velvet
vests are out of the fashion. The tendency
now is to have evening suits as plain as
possible, without even velvet collar to the
coat. The vests for evening wear are to be
cut low, with only three buttons. Pants
must be black and plain to match. There
will be no facing of lapelles with silk OF
nvelvet. and save on wedding occasions the
coat should be lined with black.
For pants, the light cassimeres. with
il1airline stripes and q wide silk band, are in
great demand. These are brown and white
blue and white, black and white-in fact
EOfralf colOrs. Shepherds plaid and mixed
Scotch cassimeres will be fashionable. AL
the stripes and plaids are exceedingly small
and delicate; anything larger than this is
tloud,'li and not fashionable. Pants will
7ic0ntinue TO be made smallin the legs, much
to the satisfaction of those who are able tC
display more developed calves.
.3Spring ovelcoats will be made of drabs
and light mixtures, steel mixed and brown
cloths. .1 -
Prices this year range about the same as
last for ,cnstem-made goods. A single
breasted paletot, made of tricoe or pIqut
n rlcassimeres. can be had for from twenty
7. seven Co forty-two dollars; vests, made o
cassimeres, from seven to eleven dollars
pants, from nine to twenty dollars.
-tsa .7zls.75 FANCY SUITS.
Breakfast and smoking jackets which
i4come to the hips, made of light cassimeres
-raIidlffied with silk, are rapidly taking the
place of, the long dressing gowns. Shoot
ing coats. pants. and vests, are made Ofevel
Eveteen,s linen ducks, and corduroy. A vel
-iVeteen street or bu siness coat Is decidedly
in the fashion. 1t is sack or business
~ HATS AND CAPS 90 es7
For silk hats there is the bell crownloN
= English hat. There is considerable crown
to the brim, and they are much wider thar
they have been for years. Low crowns arr
worn altogether in preference to high ones
The Henrietta hat is "a droop brim fancy
banded, half round top felt hat, with tht
colors of the famous yacht inside. Th'
DERBY hat is always in demand; it has
round top and is stiff brimned. The Je
rome, or English Walton hat-a low crown
ed felt stiff brimmed-will be much worr
this SDrlnX. AS R0I10TdI JHttl2 caps ar
not in fashion, there being no call for them
+ The sParepas cap has what is called a meloi
top. pulls over in front, and carries drool
visor. Ii Is made of the same cloth whicl
gentlemen wear for their pants. In othe
STYLES of hats we have the soft dashes, tn,
croouets, made of soft felt, the katy dds
Ristori and Richelieu.
BOOTS AND SHOES.
Button boots with box toes, and box-toet
Congress boots with imitation buttons, ar
in the height of the mode. 1t may be wei
to explain that the box-toe is the pointed
ENGLISH toe, with the inner sole worked al
at the toe of the shoe or boot SO as to hf
m the upper leather, preserving its form
and keeping it from the foot. These are al
made OF thesbest French calf-skin, and car
he had from S14 TO SIS. Boots are made II
the same manner and Of the same material
Patent leather is out OF fashion, French
caIf being worn upon all occasions. i
should be remembered that Glaze's bog
toea xhoes of all kinds are justin the heigh
Of the fashion, and will be universally
Hfch-topped boots for horseback riding
made of light French calf-skin, with
EIsze's box-toe, worth twenty-five dollar:
a nair. will be fashionable for the Centra
APark. the Catskills, and summer resorts. !.
