Special Correspondence of Tue EvExrxe Stan. New Yor, Oct. 12 The young-man-about-town has developed amaz- ingly in the past three years, He now exists in great numbersin New York, though he ts unknown (in bis full-blown state) in neighboring cities. He tsthere- sult of inherited wealth and European travel, and his stamping ground includes the Fifth-avenue ‘hotel, the Hoffman house, the Leland café, the Hotel Branswick, Delmonico’s, and the west side of Broadway, from 14th to 34th street. He inva- rlably spends a portion of every evening at the theater, and would not miss a first night under the most adverse circumstances. ‘The young-man-about-town changes a bit in his manner and in the fashion of his clothes every year. Three years ago he was what was commonly known as a “swell.” He wore a profusion of jew- elry, waxed moustache and brightly gloved hands, The following year he was more after the Parisian “masher” type. His boots were variiished leather, with yellow tops and of extremely small dimen- sions His finger nails were carefully polished every morning, bis hair beautifully banged, and his attire ulira fashionable. He was much ad- dicted to evening dress, and wore three jeweled studs ina vast shirt-front. It was bis alm then to be jolly, happy and fast. “He drank late, and was the wildest of dancers at the French balis. Last year a change came over the spirit of his dreams, und he developed into the dude. He was no longer jolly, but became self-contained, re- served and inert. He discarded his Jewelry, with the exception of a small ring and a solttary’ plain gold stud in the middle of bis shirt front, and his shoes were narrowed to a cruel point. He affected diazé airs, gave up cigars for cigarettes, and es- chewed ali jollity. “He sat through theatrical per- formances without a smile or a tear, and drank sherry, seltzer and milk. His life seemed weart- some. His trousers were cut extremely close to the leg, and he wore a huge bell-crowned hat on the back of his head. His collars were 80 large a8 to_become grotesque. ‘The flood of ridicule and abuse which has been directed against the dude has had it effect, the dude is slowly giving in to ular opinion. His collars have shrunken until they are now of un- exceptionable size. His trousers are larger in the leg. and he ts often detected in the act of smoking men’s cigars instead of puny and {li-smelling cigarettes. He wears a more cheerful expression and often smiles, but he fs on the ragged edge of Indecision. He does not know what Iine to adopt this year. In a few weeks, however, the wealthier young men about town will have returned from their European trips with new wardrobes and manners. They will be eagerly copied by their fellows, and the result will be that the winter style Of young-man-about-town will be in full bloom long before Thanksgiving day. ‘The indications are that he will be something after the “Old Chappie” style of youth who is at present quite the goin the British metropolis, He Will wear a dress suit on all possible occastons,and he will affect an easy, good-natured but slightly bored manner. His coats will be square shouldered, and his canes very large. He will frequent swell muste halls as Koster & Beall’s and the Casino, and will remain as ever the abject worshiper of actresses. At a rough estimate I should say there are from one hundred to one hundred and twenty first- class. specimens of the young-man-about-town in NewYork. ‘They are all more or less acquainted,and are together constantly. ‘They know almost every one, and are the most lucrative patrons of the theaters, as they are constant attendants, and always buy the best seats. A large part of thelr enjoyment of a theatrical performance consists in walking up the center alsle after each act and gazing with hanzhty indifterence at their ‘neighbors. Whin they see an ac- quaintance they bow with’ great sweetness and grace, for they know that everyone 1s looking at them ahd that there isa gooa chance to make an impression. ‘They go out after every act, and When the play 1s over they repair to George Brown’s chop ‘house, Delmonico’s, or one of the numerous hotels. Here they sit and chat in a des- ultory Way until two or three o’clock In the morn- ing, when they wander off to their various nests, ‘They are usually joined by theatrical men late at night. Not infrequently poker Degulles the weary hours away. Suppers with actresses at intervais serve to lighten their lives. Thus do they Ilve all the season through. They do no work, never ap- pear In the streets before noon, and do not go into ladies’ society at all. Most of ‘them are members of the Lambs, Racquet or Calumet clubs. ‘They Spend all the way from four to twenty thousand a year, consider themselves the cream of mankind, and are undoubtedly the popular ideal of gentle: men, TUE DUDRS MENTAL TRAITS, Concerning thelr mental traits something Is to be sald. I know a great many of them, and must say that at bottom they are well meaning and gen- erous fellows. Thely extraordinary affectations make them seem, more or less, contemptible, but they are scrupulously polite when one has been Properly introduced, and very hospitable. They are, certainly, adifrable theatrical critics. These young men are, as I have sald, the result of a monied class of men In New York: They consider it, more or less, degrading to work, and so devote their time to ‘pleasure. They do ‘not stick to it Jong. A grey head among them is unknown, and after one of them has kept up the round for two or three years he usually disappears. Whether he gets married or goes off to recruit his health 1s, wore than Tan say, but he certainly dritts out of sight. ‘The young-men-about-town, of whom I have written, are not shams, Tuey have sufictent backing to Insure respect,and are usually well con- nected. But they have & class of imitators who are extremely amusing. They are the 10-dollar-a- Week clerks and salesmen, who have aspirations. ‘They worship the genuine rounder with a faith That ts beautiful and true, ‘Thetr ingenuity in eking out their resources and making a presenta- ble appearance on almost no capital at all is sim- ply amazing. They go my twos and threes, and usually patronize the theaters on the “standee” principle. ‘That ts, they pay a dollar admission and stand haughtily up bebind the rear row of seats. They treat each other on the Dutch prin- ciple—first one and then the other, and if one spehds more money than the other It 1s balanced up at the end of the evening. They drink beer—because it costs five cents a glass. y smoke cigarettes—twenty for eleven cents. Manager Stetson hus begun to cater to them by reducing the admission price of his theater to fifty cents. Hundreds of them goto the “Fitth aveenoo theayter” every night in the Week now. Their remarks about the players are grotesque In the extreme. They always call the actresses by their first names, and are assiduous Teaders of the dramatic papers. I heard one of them a night or two ago call “Pique” ple-kue and “Roge Michel” “Rosle Michael. But what of that? He were evening dress and constantly re- ferred to hitnselt as a “thoroughbred.” He was of the class who are rapidly forming them- selves Into a band of cockneys not one whit inte- rior to the pests of London. WHO OWN THE STREETS. ‘The Western Union Telegraph company practi- cally owns the streets of New York. ‘They have carte blanche permission apparently to tear up the highways, plaut forests of poles and swing nets of iron wires all over the town. For weeks they have been at Broadway. They tear up about one quarter of the streetsand pile earth, stove and timber on more than another juarter, so that there {s ges than half the usual surface of the great street left free for trucks and stages. ‘They Tefuse to work at night and so the job will be stretched out interminably. All day long Broad- way 18 blocked. An extra force of policemen 1s requ! 'o help the trucks along, and stage travel {ga delusion and a snare. Nobody who can help {t gets into a Broadway stage now, and the dust pnd dirt ts awful, The telegraph company Is lay- ing brags pipes under the pavement. ‘Puey ex- pect to blow messages from 28d street and 5th avenue down to the main office at Dey street through the pipes. Of course the underground Pipes Will occassionally get out of order and it il be necessary to dig up Broadway again to get at them. ‘The prospect fs not an encouraging one. What with the depredations of the electric light company, the steam heating company and the tel- egraph company the pavement of Broadway has now @ Amenace to horses’ hoofs. It looks as though it had suffered from a rolling earth- quake, JAY GOULD GIVES UP HIS YACHT. Jay Gould has given up his much-talked-of trip around the world, and decided to remain in New York and “whoop-her-up” for the boys tn Wall street. The boys are wearing crape on their hats and drinking brandy and sody in consequence thereof.

He has become as stagey and mechanical as an automaton, and has, in addition, lost a great deal of physical beauty. When he last played here he was one of the most picturesque and hand- ious. Mr. Coghlan played the virtuous youn; fiero of “Money.” He nts played tte ni umes, and I tmagine that that is the reason that he has become stagey.

Hancock was seen in bed at his residence on Governors Island this Morning by an Associated Press reporter, who called to inguire regarding the retirement of Gen. herman, abd the succession of Gen. Hancock to ‘the command of- the department of the Missouri. ‘The General was looking pale, and showed traces of his recent illness. He sald: “I know nothing at all about the matter beyond What is in this morn- ing’s papers. The order has not been issued a8 yet, Dut 1t possibly will be to-day.

PENDLETON WILL PROBARLY BE HIS OWN SUCCES- SOR, @ Now that the result of the Oto election 1s set- tled, the talk ts about the ‘coming Senator. Well- informed Ohio democrats generally agreo that Senator Pendicton has a very fair prospect of succeeding himself. They say the continual abuse of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and of the Bookwalter faction, has produced a reaction in Pendleton’s favor that will aid him materially in his canvass for the succession. “There is,” said an Ohio dem- ocrat to-day, “but one source ‘of danger for Pen- Gleton. If Thurman is put tato the race, he will Walk away with the Senatorsnip. The démocrats feel that they have not treated Thurman fairly, and there 1s a disposition among many of them to send him bick to the Senate. If he does not enter the senatorial race, you may put it down that Ohio Will stand up solidiy for Thurman in the next na- Uuonal convention.” Civil Service. THE PRESIDENT ASKED TO MAKE A NEW CLASSIFI- CATION. The civil service commission has asked the President to direct a further classification of em- ployes inthe government service, 80 as to define more accurately the classes affected by the new rules. The legislatioa bearing on this subject 1s 8o confused that some well-defined lines of grada- tion and classification are needed, and the matter has, therefore, been referred to the President for action, At present the graded classes in the de- partments stop at $900, though there 1s a grade of 37a lady copyists, who do the same work as 13 performed by other employes at a compensation of $900, To correct such Irregularities as this a uniform system is desired. ‘The commission 1s also considering the question of competitive ex- aminations for promotion, a matter on which some difference of opinion’ prevails among those who have the same ends in view. Tho Presi- dent’s interpretation of the law {s that they should be included with the higher grades of clerkships, and he will probably s0 Instruct. the commission- ers, He has, however, asked an opinion of the Attorney General on the subject, so that there may be no doubts In the matter. The commis- sloners made no mention of the grades of em- ployes below $900. Chief Clerk Lyman returned to his desk this morning, after an absence of some days, spent in conducting examinations. WHAT A MEMBER OF THE CABINET SAYS, In conversation, this morning, on the subject of are-classifcation of government employes so as to bring within the operation of the civil service Tules employes receiving less than $900 perannum, a member of the Cabinet said: “The civil service commissioners desire the re-classification to in- clude all employes excepting laborers and work- men.” The difficulty nowwill be to decide whether or not messengers and watchmen are to be classed as laborers: The request of the civil service com- mission fof a new classification of employes receiving less than $900 appears to have been Suggested by the recent appointments of openers and packers made by Appraiser Ketcham in New York. In speaking of these appointments Mr. Eaton, of the civil service commission, said: “There was no violation of the civil service rules In this case, as charged, because the men ap- pointed received but per annum. Whether or not the President will decide to extend the operation of the rules to this class of employes Temain to be seen.” The Bigelow and Hitz Cases, JUDGE WYLIE ON GENERAL BUTLER. ‘This afternoon, in the Criminal Court, Judge Wylie presiding, the attention of the court was called to the fact that to-day was set down to ue a motion in the cage of B. F. Bigsow late teller of the Bank of the Republic, under indict- ment for embezzlement, for a bill of particulars, Owing to the lateness of the hour the argument. was set down for Tuesday next. District Attor- ney, Corkhill called attention to the Hitz case, but Bald that Gen.

B. Williams began the closing argument in the case of Thomas Dunn, indicted, with others, for the larceny of $516 from Bushrod H.

The jury was given the cage shortly after 9 o'elogk. : =. 4 VERDICT OF GUILTY. At 3:98 the jury rendered 4 yerdict of guilty, With favorable weather the success of next Week's mocting of the National Jockey Club 1s assured. Everything that human agency can do to contribute to the event has been done. The horses entered and to vontest are the best and fastest; the track has been put in splendid order and the program offers fine sport. The races begin next Tuesday and continue through the Week. There will be five races each day, one of which will be a steeplechase or hurdle race. Last spring the racing season opened with the Ivy City meeting, and all the horses were on the grounds some days in advance of the first day’s Facing. This fall the meeting here comes towards the close of the season, and as many of the horses are engaged for other events up to to-day,a number of them will not arrive before Monday morning. Though the youngest jockey club In the country, she National now rapks among the oldest and best in ‘all that goes to make a first-class racing Organization. ‘This will be its fourth meeting only, and yet the list of entries comprises horses that some of the old-established tracks have vainly endeavored to attract. Never before, per- haps, in the history of Washington has so much interest been mani in any racing event. There ts a natural desire among all lovers of supe- rior horseflesh to see such superb animals as Iro- quots, George Kinney, Gen. Monroe, Miss Wood- dord, Kole, Bootjack, and the old veteran, Parole. ONE QF THE MOST EXCITING RACES OF THE WEEK will be Yor the District of Columbia stakes on the second.day. Among the contestants will be Iro- quols, Drake Carter, Monitor, Bootjack, George Kinney, Miss Woodford, Gen. Monroe and Eole. At present Fole seems to be the favorite, but 1t 18 @ race that does not belong to elther one of the contestants. ‘There will be a number ot Washington favorites among the runners. Col. Sprague, the horse that captured the biggest money ever paid in Paris pools in arace in this city, is now here and in prime condition.

ARRIVAL OF THE LORILLARD HORSES AND OTHER FLYERS, Anumber of the stables entered here had en- tries in the races at Jerome Park to-day, and therefore will not start for Washington until this evening, arriving at the fair grounds to-morrow morning. The stables of P. Lorillard and Dwyer Brothers reached here thi$. morning without accl- dent ot any kind, and the horses are now all com- fortably quartered on the grounds. A Stak re- porter was at the track when the horses reached there. In Loriliard’s string there weré sixteen. Parole and Iroquols naturally attracted most at- tention. Both these noted horses are in splendid trim. ‘They have been saved for the races here, and have only been worked enough to get them in condition. Troquols has completely recovered from the effects of his ocean voyage, and was never in finer form than now. If he does not re- gain his lost prestige next week it will be because he cannot run fast enough. Any fallure on his part cannot be charged to lack of condition, Pa- Tole, too, 13 in fine form, It 1s a treat simply to look at the old hero of the turf. Besides these two horses there _were Aranza, Pizarro, Gonfalon, Blossom, Drake Carter, Breeze, Leo, Huron, Her- bert and five others, Mr. Pierre Lorillard has en- tries in all the stakes except the Anacostia. Leo, Huron and Manitoba are entered 1n the Arlington atakes, but he has sold the latter; Parole, Gonfalon and Breeze in the Washington stakes; Iroquois, Her- bert and Drake Carter in the District of Columbia stakes; Huron, Leo and Manitoba in the Capital stakes; Parole, Herbert, Drake Carter and Gonfa- lon in the Autumnal handicap; Pizarro, Gonfalon. and Drake Carter in the Potomac stakes; Leo, Manitoba and Blossom in the Ivy City stakes, and Gonfaion in the Congress stakes, DWYER BROS. TRING OF SEVEN HORSES Teached the track in tip-top shape. They are all excellent horses and have made fine records this Season, Geo. Kinney, Miss Woodford, Checkmate, Bootjack, Eldorado, Ecuador and a two-year old. colt by Glenelg, out of Cruoulet, compose the Dwyer stable. Geo. Kinney beat Iroquois at Monmouth park this season, and hence he now takes rank among the fleetest. His other achleve- ments have shown that he has the speed and bot- tom to maintain his Teputation. One of the most, interesting features of the coming meeting will be that Geo. Kinney and Iroquois are to again face the starter togetber. The owner of Iroquols be- eves that he can outrun Kinney and the Dwyers are determined that their horse shall retain the laurels he has won if he has the stuff in him. XOLE AND TROQUOTS. Another most interesting feagure of the same Face will be the presence of Kole init. Kole also beat Iroquois this season at Monmouth Park, and 80 Lorillard’s horse will have an opportunity to win back his lost honors from both horses at the same time, It was claimed that Iroquois was not in condition at Monmouth Park; that bie trip across the ocean had unfitted him for good on the turf, No such claim can enter into the coming race, All three of these horses will runon their merits, and the best one will win.
