BICH MEN'S SONS DRIVEN TO WORK BY ENXUI— ENGLISH BUCK-BOARDS THE LATEST DRIVING- FAD—THE ORIGIN OF TAILLESS DRESS CoATS— THE SURLINES3 OF ANGLO-MANIAZS. (Copyrig! 839.) A few days ago I chanced tobe walking down the sunny side of 5th avenue. when I discovered | an acquaintance leaning against the railing of | @ corner house, the picture of boredom and dejection. His hat was on the back of i his head, his hands im bis trousers’ pockets, | and he gazed moodily and mournfully at the pavement. He is the son of one of the famous | Fich men of New York, a man of thirty years. | and is usually regarded as an amiable and good- natured person, He nodded as I came along, and asked me if there was anything going on. “In what way?” I asked. “Lany way out of the humdrum of every-day existence.” “Not that I know of.” “Of course not,” was the morose reply. “New York is as stupid as a back-country village. I love it, and so do you, but I cannot help think- ing what a howling outrage it is just the same, that all the amusement and fun is being crushed out of the town. It is not only that they are stopping the public balls. cutting up the Polo grounds, moving the driving parks miles out of the city, preventing all boxing, sparring and athletic exhibitions by police force, and shut- ting up all the places of amusement where wine, women, and song affect a felicitous combina- tion, but it is the spirit of everlasting repres- sion and caddishness that governs the town. NEW YORK'S FUTURE. “A hundred years from this New York will be the greatest city*in the world. We will have a glorious climate, and the will of the people will predominate, so that we will have all the en- tertainments of the fun-loving Germans and French, as well as the sports of the English and Americans. I don’t know what to do to amuse myself. My life is as monotonous as that of a confidential clerk in a down-town dry house. I rise at 10. breakfast at 11, and at 11:50, ora little time thereafter, my barber comes and shaves me. I can’t go out until he does me up, because if any one else shaves me, I look as though somebody had passed a lawn-mower over my face.

I went in for trotting stock for a while, but up the road it is simply a succession of drinks. Once in a while I get desperate in the long afternoons—we do not dine until 8, you know—and I drop in ata matinee, It did not last long. If there is anything on earth more utterly disheartening than the feeling which comes over a man after he has come out of a matinee. I do not know what it is. You feel | exactly as though you had been playing poker all night.” 4 HEALTHY ATMOSPHERE. What the man complained of was really the best feature of New York life. There is abso- Jately nothing going on during the day, and | even rich men’s sous are driven to work. That | is why the atmosphere of New York is so much healthier for young men than the atmosphere of the big towns of the old world. A man who does not toil in New York is looked upon as more or less-of an anomaly; whereas, in London or Paris, the man who works for a living is re- garded with a feeling of gentle but fathomless curiosity by the greater number of his friends. When our leisure class has reached its full de- velopment there may be more fun in New York before the gas is lighted for the night, but it will be a healthier atmosphere for young men. THE AMUSEMENTS of New York's younger generation do not be- gin and end with what may be called “show driving.” The fact is, there is very little real solidity in the procession of traps in Central park. There are but two or three tandems in the city now, and they are driven by men whom nobody knows. T-carts, dog-carts and gigs of various patterns are not as fashionable as they were. They are still correct enough, but a queer fad has caught the Anglo-maniacs here. The most ultra-English of all vehicles are the little ash buck-boards which were re- cently adopted in Great Britain. The buck- board itself is an American invention. About tem years ago our carriage manufacturers developed the vehicle, and it was taken up by alot of v wealthy people at Newport and Len- nox. Sideboard springs were introduced, the dashboard and seat were constructed of beau- tifully embossed leather of a light brown shade, the wheels were almost as light as those of a sulky. and the horses were harnessed well forward to a long ash pole. Altogether it made a wonderfully smart and taking little wagon for rambling around the country roads, At all events it caught the fancy of the rich people of Great Britain, and the —— e man- ufacturers here had endless orders. en the British carriage builders took up the fad. THE BUCKBOARD FAD. In the course of time a few Anglo-maniacs discovered what a stupendously swagger thing the buckboard was, and brought back some English imitations from London. That was enough. Now the buckboards are decid- edly in the van. As is usually the case, how- ever. the Anzio-maniacs have made the mistake of using the vehicles for city use as well as for the country. They drive them in the park dur- ing the afternoon to teams of well-matched cobs, and evidently fancy themselves serenely atthe top. Notwithstanding this, however, the | butkboards are a welcome relief to the eternal sameness of the carts and gigs. THE TAILLESS DRESSCOAT. This same misconception of the time and Place for exhibiting a new fashion may also be applied to the tailless dress coat or shell jacket. Everywhere one goes in public now ‘there are to be found troupes of young men in evening dress, but nearly all of them wear the tailless coat. At a theater or opera, even when they accompany ladies, the Anglo-maniacs ap- parently oroughiv au fait in what is to them anew garment. If a man were to appear in such a dress in England in public he would | be the cause of universal derision. The shell | jacket is regarded in England simply as a slight improvement upon the dressing gown or smoking Jecket. Aman would no more think of going to the opera there in a shell jacket than he would think of wearing his dressing gown. Originally the jackets were worn by officers on service in India. The heat there is very great. and the oficers devised a light and cool imitation of the dress suit to wear on state oc- casions. When they got back from service in England a great many of them kept their fond- ness for these light and comfortable little gar- ments; but, at no time did they rise to the dis- tinction and dignity of the old-time clawham- mer. Now that they have started here, how- ever, there will be no stopping them for the pext five years. ANGLO-MANIACS. It is a curious thing, by the way, that there is no diminution of this Anglo-maniac craze. It is not quite true that the absurd and silly imi- tators of the English are beginning to drive on the left-hand side of the way, but they are cer- tainly pushing the craze for British manners, intonation and clothes to an absurd point. For instance, a few days ago I went to a breakfast at Delmonico’s, where no less than four out of seven men wore single glasses. Two of the men are from Philadelphia, and it transpired in the course of a talk that they had none of them crossed the ocean. I do not ever remem- ber to have been in a crowd of half a dozen men in London where as many as three or four at a on A great many men ho are uear-sighted over there carry a thick lass in their waistcoat pockets, and peer | obs it when theywish to see at a distance; but they do not attach a string to the monocle or wear it for any other purpose than that of convenience.
