Will Go to Newport Meet the Beau Monde.


otherwise known as "Hinky Dink,
created a sensation as he strolled In
Broadway the other day, says the New
York Press. The First ward states
man wore a white flannel suit, bronze
colored shoes, wide brim panama
hat, a pale pink silk shirt, low cut
waistcoat of lavender and a long flow
ing green tie, with yellow ends.
A diamond. suggesting a warship's
searchlight, flashed in the eyes of the
wondering throng. A monocle on his
left eve gave aristocratic wrinkles to
his eyebrow and cheek. Dark blue
smoke fioated from big perfecto.
Indifferent to rude stares and loud
comments, "Hinky Dink" continued on
his way in placid content. From Twen-
ty-third to Forty-second streets the
stroll continued in growing triumph,
and when the Hon. "Hinky Dink"
boarded street car to return to the
Fifth Avenue hotel he heaved sigh of
satisfaction for the impression he had
made on New Workers and another sigh
of sorrow for having shown only the
mourning garments of his unlimited
wardrobe.
Il blew in for bit of hurrah,"
said he. Life in de First ward Is
deader than doughnuts in de summer.
/ wants to swim with de tony bunch.
! come on to wade in high society"
Mr.. "Hinky Dink" lighted another
perfecto and said he had more clothes
in his trunks and they would make the
smart gazabos in New York stare"
Contemplating the crowded rows of
benches in Madison square for a min
ute in silence, the Hon. "Dink" contin-
ued:
Il hear all de smart fry is up at Sar-
atOga That's where me friend Bath
house John bucked de high life two
years ago 'BathhOuse' is in Colorado
these days dom tall stunts with his
opera voice. You never heard Bath
house sing dat song of his, Dear Mid
night of Lover That's swell. Bath
house is all right, but he's got nOthin'
like the trousseau I've got locked in me
trunks"
.SHinky Dinll" left Chicago with the
intention Of spending several days in
New York. He changed his plans after
he had been there few hours. DE
towns empty" was his comment, and
in the afternoon he left for Saratoga.
With him went five huge trunks full
of wearing apparel of all imaginable
cOlors.
Before leaving Chicago "Hinky
Dink" went to "BathhouSe Johns tai
lor and told him to "go ahead and do
something thatll make 'em all blink"
The tailor who made "Bathhouse' IA
nous went ahead. Amazing results
followed. Thirty suits were delivered
the day before "Hinky Dink" got his
pass for the east. Chief of this collec-
ton is turquoise blue dress suit, with
a pearl colored waistcOat and gold but
tons. There are twenty-seven pairs of
trousers, ranging in color from the
lightest slate effects to the invisible
stripe and plaids loud enough to keep
one awake nights, all of which are
turned UP at the bottom and properly
creased The trousers are of the peg
legged pattern.
OF the five trunks one is reserved for
shirts, including two dozen dress shirts
with pique fronts. Thirtysix negligee
shirts, with wide stripes and all cOlors
of the rainbow, are provided for other
occasions. A dozen pairs of heliotrope
pyiamas are packed with the shirts.
The pyjamas are neatly trimmed with
violet silk braid and frogs. A large
dress suit case is filled with socks and
ties. The socks are all of the dropstitch
variety and range from fiaring reds to
darkest indigoes.
The supply of ties consists of original
effects in string, puffs, aScots, fourth
hands and numerous small bows for
state occasions. He has thirty pairs Of
shoes. There are shoes for tennis,
shoes for golf, pumps for dancing and
top boots for riding. Perhaps the most
fetching pair is of white glazed leather,
with large brass eyelets, relieved by
bright red strings. A gross of hand
kerchefs, most of which have fancy
borders; three dozen pairs of yellow
gloves with blue clicked backs and
trunkful of hats will surprise Sara
toga. Mr.. Kenna will make his head
quarters at the United States hotel,
where he will hold court with all the
shining lights of finance, patrons of
the turf and society.
At the end of the Saratoga season
"Hinky Dink" will follow beau monde
to Newport. He will drive down Ocean
avenue in a four-in-hand which will
make Reginald Vanderbilts smart
turnout look like hay rigging" The
livery of his coachman and tiger"
will be bright green, with red facings
and silver trimmings. "Hinky Dink"
is a clever whip. Instead of wearing
a shining title" on the box he will
iIlumine society with cap of his own
creation. 1t has a peak of isinglass
and is surmounted with a pompon,
similar to those worn by gendarmes.
Mr.. Kenna is no stranger to water,
and he will appear in some bewitching
