THE SEASON OF '''72 STYLE AND FASH
ION AT THE HUB ERIE STOCK -
SPRING WEATHER, ETC, ETC. ETC.
BosToN, April 8, 1872.
Already among the fashionable world
we hear mentioned the familiar names
of Saratoga. Newport. Niagara Falls
Lake Champaign, the White and Green
Mountains. etc. thereby proving that
the coming season Of :" -" will be one
of the most brilliant and exciting on re-
cord Thus soon, may parties have com
pletcd all arrangements Tor the annual
pleasure tour, and though the great
Peace Jubilee must necessarily make
pleasure travel from this section some
little later. we predict from July one
of the largest crowds of tourists Ion the
wing" YOU ever saw. among whom we
may expect to see many of the wealth.
beauty and fashion of foreign lands. as
well as our own. Extensive prepare
tions are being made at all our principal
watering places for the reception and
general good care Of the unprecedented
crowd Of pleasure seekers.
An Old though very true saving runs
thus: cont Of style ont of the world "
STYLE and fashion is changing some little
nearly every day, until at the present
time almost anything is no style that is
neat, Hastily made up and pretty. The
colossal millinery and drcssmaking cs-
adjustments Of Boston affords our fair
Eotjrres Of fashion a rare opportunity to
select WhcreWithal they may be .attired,
and in whatever style may please them
from the choice fabrics of America as
we'll rs foreign lands. The regular Pari-
/
styles has Just arrived. comprising all
the novelties of that city and the CONT
ncnt which the ladies all pronounce as
perfectly lovely Just now every MILL
merry establishment is very busy prepar-
inc costumes fOrthe great Jubilee-What
an elaborate display Of fashion will there
be made? Long kids are again in vogue
and from our own observation, the more
hustle for the promenade the better
"POOr Richard is himself again" in
other words, Erie is again firm, State
street and the Stock Exchange have re
summed their WOnted quiet, businCss-like
air and, to use brokers phrases, money
is tight" Spring has come at last, it
seems. after long series of disagreeabe
wet days to that welcome port rcsemb-
ling summer-at least we hope so--tO-
day is indeed pleasant, the sun is fast
drying the muddy crossings; people
again coming forth on the promenade,
and everything and everybody alike
seem to welcome back again the warm
seasons. The Boston Nine (Red Stock
ings) have postponed their proposed trip
west on account of the lateness of the
season and bad condition of the grounds
they are to play on. The whole nine
are in active training at the fremont
Gymnasium, and from present appear
ances will make a long and strong pull
for the champion pennant and ball dur
ing the base ball season of "'72." Ed
win Forrest, the renowned tragedian, is
improving, though still unable to speak.
"T1BER"
THE DRUMMERs ARE DRUMMING.-
The commercial travellers of the country
have formed themselves into an associa
ton which has made an arrangement
with over one thousand and four hun
dred hotels throughout the country, so
that those bearing its Endorsement will
be charged far less than customary bills,
and it has line of more than 10000
miles of railroads and steamboat travel,
on which the usual rate averages five
cents per mile, which it reduces to three
cents. On the whole those connected
with the association can travel through
the West and South at one third the
usual expense.
