The field day will go down as re-
msrksble one on account OF a veritable
cane rush, which has for several years
been prohibited by the faculty. In 1t a
sophomore and a fresb man were knocked
senseless and a score OF others had their
clothing torn to shrsds In a desperate
class battle. For upwards OF an hour the
battle ragged snd was only stopped by
acting President Clarke, assisted by the
members of the faculty and q squad Of

front being in one. The lower half, in
the form of a deep f1ounce, is headed
with ruched putting ornamented with
knots of the same. The bodice is OF
white satin covered entirely with braid
ed embroidery or black guipure. The
open front is filled in with a box-piait
of white satin, crossed by narrow
bands of black velvet and held a. the
centre by jet buttons. Throat ruche of
black silk crepe, and sailor hat of
black satin and straw braid, trimmed
with a twist OF white silk muslin and
two peacock feathers.
A WALKING DRESS.
The little promenade gown of diagon-
al wool is very cocky. The color of
this is brilliant brown in one of the
rich finder shades, fashion is begin
ming to talk about The effect of the
material is to make the entire gown
seem as if cut on the bias, the skirt
fitting closely over the hips and the
sheath like bodice fastening at the
back. The girdle, however, is the fea-
ture of this costume which, because of
the back fastening, is most suited to a.
young lady A pointed effect of white
satin is covered with narrow stripes of
black velvet, the stripes radiating from
the centre of The belt and tipped at the

lar of white silk muslin and cravat of
yellow lace.
The hat worn by this stylish young
person is one of the simplest of the
new seasons fancies. Headgear, one is
sorrowful to relate, that is all as yet
seen, tends toward much of the same
overturned top heaviness that distin-
guished summer millinery.
: Indeed, the cumbrous look is often
more marked, owing to the decrease in
sleeves, so that many small slight wo-
men are made to look as if their heads
We're out of all proportion to the rest
of their anatomy.
The hat with the diagonal wool gown
gives the big look without the heavi-
ness, a light trimming of black taffeta
silk being used for decoration. The felt
shape is one of the new hairy nouve-
autis mentioned last week and in the
same tinder-color as the gown ma
terial.
A narrow bias of black velvet binds
the edge, a point observed with almost
all of the felt hats as yet seen.

AUTUMN HATS.
Apropos of head gear and its eccen-
tricities there was a love of a turban
seen yesterday on Broadway.
Made all of black velvet, it was big
heavy and laid in the swathing folds of
g. good Mussulman's turban. In the
same way, too, it was down to the ears
of a sleek little black head, and as if
the Turkish idea had been in mind
some of the folds over the forehead
were held down by a long, slender
crescent of jet. The shape of this won
derful head covering was the round of
the biscuit in the middle story; and
from the top of the crown, directly in
the centre, waved its conqueririg fea-
ture-two airy paradise aigrettes in a
dead white, divided at the middle to
curve outward at each side and reared
high in the air like the crest OF some
naughty bird.
As for the waarer, she was as de-
Ightful and as naughty as her hat
Her slim body, that willow sltmness
that goes with youth, was gowned in
a plain tailor costume of black cloth re-
lieved only by white gloves and narrow
white linen collar.
Was she French, was she Russian,
was she Viennese? Nobody could say.
All the passing world knew was that
she was very lovely and perfectly
dressed, and one woman went home
determined to copy her get up at the
earliest possible date.
FOR MAIDENs OR NATIONS.
The two remaining toilets show a
new idea in skirts and a fantastic in
girdles.
The visiting costume is especially
suited to young matrons, though it is
equally appropriate for young ladies
who have passed the age when simple
materials are exacted. Black satin or
black faille may form the skirt, which
is in two parts. the upper halt and

Children hear the old hand organ play,

And the joys of former days belong,

NEW YORK. September IA, 1885,
The whole of the haute monde is not
yet in town, but some smart millinery
is being seen and though fashion is
still at an unsettled stage, everything
points toward a brilliant season for la,
mode.
AT the fashionable ladies' tailoring
establishments, walking gowns have a
British air, snug in the skirt, compact
and long-waisted in the bodice and
with sleevs alarmingly small Some
times an English corsage will be Cir
died up high, French fashion, in the
front, and have at the throat the wide
lace cravat that goes with an elegant
French toilet. But the English frock
par excellence is adj English and moth
ing elese. The skirt is narrow and
tending toward a severe fairness at
the back, the vest, inclosed between
tiny mannish revers, pl-m and small,
and at the back Of the bodice are all
the cores and all the seams OF the old
time basque" body.
But the English gowns, with their
severe bodices and habit-like skirts
need faultless figures to be effective.
A HAPPY COMBINATION.
Nevertheless the smart woman of the
moment knows how to combine her
French and English effects with dash
ing success. She wears on simple morn
ing occasions, when the weather is
cool enough to admit of a wrap, a
plain snug skirt of serge or cloth that
has the stamp Of a good tailor, and
over a shirtwaist of taffetta silk a
loose top coat of light tan, blue or green
cloth. With this perhaps a plain
Derby hat or q square French walking
shape, overhung by white lace cur
tain veil; a linen collar and narrow
black tie, and gloves of white glace kid,

stitchings of brown. Her shoes will

knowing it, at all.

Among the departments which
are scientifically carried on by
Mr.. Vanderbilt are: Agricul-
ture, Forestry, Road-bulld1ng,
Manufacturing, Lumbering,
DairJ'ing, Poultry raising, Hortl-
culture, Arboriculture, Floricul-
ture, &c. He has large herds of
thorough bred animals, and has,
it is said, the finest collection of
fowls in America. He makes
elaborate exhibits of all kinds at
the various fairs and exposi-
tons.
Mr.. Charles McNamee is the
general manager of the estate.
and the various departments are
under the care of experts. The
forestry is managed by DR..
Schenck, a noted German for>
ester. The roads are in charge
of Mr.. Gall, a Scotch expert.
The dairy and cereals are in
charge of Mr.. Weston, a fine
chemist and trained expert in
farming. The propagating and
truck gardens are in charge of
Mr.. Beadle, of Cornell Univer-
sity, &c.
Forcing houses are being
erected, which will place upon
the markets vegetables during
the winter, and by means of in
cubators, 10000 chickens will be
placed upon the markets annual
ly, while the fine herds of Jerseys
are now supplying large num-
bers with rich milk, cream and
pure creamery butter.
Notwithstanding the malicious
reports of certain newspaper
fakirs, Mr.. Vanderbilt enjoys the
utmost confidence and esteem of
our people, who thoroughly ap
preciate what he is doing for our
country and for humanity. He
is a man with big heart and a
modest bearing. He never talks
for the press, and he never an
nounces his plans, except to his
experts, until he is ready to ex-
ecute them. It is believed by
many thoughtful persons that he
has still greater plans for the
benefit of humanity which will
be announced when the work
now in progress shall have been
completed.
