Mr.. j. H. Nichols, the well-known tailor at
81 Court street, Boston, has inst returned from
London with selection of the finest, choicest
and newest styles of goods in that market. His
long experience in the business, combined
with an inherent tact in discriminating the
textures of fabrics, has enabled him to place
before his numerous customers lime OF Eng
lish suitings which will not only satisfy but
surprise his patrons The assortment, which
is complete in the minutest details, was selected
by Mr. Nichols personally from the houses
of A. Gagniere g. Co., Standen & Co., and
Stanton & Co. of London, whose high and
standard reputation the world over is a sutfi-
Gent guarantee of the supreme excellence OF
their productions. The mere mention of these
names will at once convince those in the trade
that the imports are as near perfection as
human labor and skill can make them, and
purchasers will see at a glance that the exhibit
is one which carries its own commentator
with it. The importation embraces an extern
sive and varied assortment of the best English
and Scottish suitings, the latter being from
the house of Standen & Co., who deal exclu-
sively in Scotch woollen goods. Among
the English lot is selection OF
Claws worsted goods, which have attained
the highest reputation for fineness OF finish
The pantaloon patterns are new and attractive
in design, while the fancy vestings are as
unique as they are pleasing. An entirely new
and novel grade of goods, termed ''stockinet
ia knit, textile fabric), which can be made into
suits and fall overcoats, excites the most
favorable comment, while the collection OF
overcoatings, comprising elysians, clysian
beaver. fur beaver and ''Whitneys," is all that
the most fastidious could desire In this line
is very attractive sample of the cloth used
in the making of the ''Beaconsfeld'' over
coat, now the rage in London, which has a
fancy-colored back woven upon q neat and
modest exterior. The invoice demonstrates
the trained Judgment which has enabled the
importer to place upon his counters that
something new for which the fashionable
world is continually crying. Already large
proportion of the goods are taken, as an in
spection of the small samples will show, and
only an early visit to the ompletely-stocked
establishment will secure the choicest selec-
tons. Mr.. Nichols has On exhibition suits
among them being a black frock suit made by
Poole n three-button cut-away and a "Beacons-
field overcoat manufactured by kerslake,
both gentlemen being at the head of their
profession and patronized by the royal family.
The 'Beaconsfeld' is the invention OF Mr..
Kerslake and is a cross between sack and
frock overcoat, being, in appearance, some
what odd but nevertheless pleasing from its
uniqueness. Those who wish garments made
precisely after the English patterns on exhibi-
ton can have their wishes complied with, or
have their orders Americanized into due pro-
portion A.call at the store of Mr.. Nichols is
requisite to enable one to thoroughly under
stand and appreciate the stock which he has
