Gentlemen,s Fashions.
rom the N Y Herald lima

From the N. Y. Herald. June 4.
But few changes have been made in the style
OF gentlemen's garments since the openings in
early spring. The newest design for q sack suit
Tor summer wear is the 'rolled" suit. The coat
is made with collar rolled back and thrown open.
The corners are slightly cut away and the gar
ment is OF medium length and outlines the
figure loosely. The vest is lower than usual,
having but four buttons, and is cut straight
around, being trifle shorter than older de-
signs. Trousers are cut shapely, club men wear
Ing them from sixteen to seventeen inches
around knee and foot. In the sack suits the
entire suit is usually Of the same material
throughout, fancy suitings in light tints being
the preference Of most young men. vest or
trousers in different color may be worn with
the suit to give variety but is not considered In
good taste with this style.
GETAWAY and frock suits are made of fancy
cashmere. In solid c0lOrs the preference is for
olive brown and bottle green. The most select
color at present is iron gray. The corkscrew or
Berathea goods is the first choice for these suits
when coat, vest and trousers are of the same
material, or the trousers may be of a light fancy
check or stripe. The silk vestings of quiet
colored ground with figures In bright tints are
also worn to give variety to these suits. The
mixed Barathea gray will be much worn again
for full cutaway and frock suits this season.
The fancy vests are made short, straight across
the botteH. with rolled or shawl collar, and are
cut high, with six buttons. They are of silk,
silk and wool, and of ilinen.' The designs are
dots, spots, stars, checks and in mixed designs
that are not conspicuous at first glance, but
which, when examined closely, are seen to be
stars. crescents, comets and birds heads in one
pattern, and in another full rugged schooner
placed at intervals between Japanese wave lines
FULL DRESS AND OyERCOATs.
For morning, weddings and occasions where
full dress is not required, the single breasted
frock suit Of steel or iron gray worsted is the
most worn.
For full dress the present fancy is for fine rib
diagonals. They are made with the edges fin
ished with braid placed in narrow silk cord on
pockets, collar and edge of the vest and the
edges OF the coat arebound in fine cord stitched
close to the edge. Trousers have the stripe of
orald at the side or not. according to individual
tastes.
Suits of dark colors are bound with nat braid.
and the coats are faced with silk of the same
tints. All garments are bound or double stitched.
The tendency in light fancy suitingsis for double
stitching.
The Prince Albert coat is now cut sfapely
with five buttons, with shorter waist and longer
skirts It fits the form rather closely, as all coats
now do.
The single-breasted sack overcoat is made of
brown, green and gray kerseys and meltons, and
is faced with silk. The newest color is light
overcoat for spring is.the surtout made OF steel
gray wOrsted braided with flat military braid It
has velvet collar and is faced with silk the
color of the coat.
The Newmarket is an English style OF long
coat which is meeting with much favor here. and
promises to be leading style next fall. It has
five buttons, is double-breasted and has flaps
and pockets on the hips. The waist fs rather
short and the skirts reach the ankles. It fits
the figure closely and is an elegant looking gar
ment for tall men. Ladies are having their
street jackets cut from this model with the skirt
from 0ne-haf to three-quarters Of yard in
length.
