Nlantfe Notes.
There will be used in the "outing“ or
field manwuvcra of the brigade at Nian-
tic this year 75.000 rounds of blank rifle
cartridges and 850 rounds of common
cartridges. There will be over two
thousand men in action. The stud of
rand guard duty will be bane" ‘ to
t e officers. So many inquiries have
been made regarding the color of the
horses to be used by the field and staff of
the First regiment at Niantic next month
that it has been stated b authority that
they would not all be ack. None but
fast colors will be allowed and if possible
no two horses of the same shade will be
rmitted. The object of having a
iffereut colored horse for each mounted
officer is to be able to discern his rank
when too far of! to rec his shoulder
straps. As in the regular army. geld-
ings only will be used.

BATTING NOTES.

three factories in New York. Bethe]. Ct.v
and Danbiiry. Cl... respectively. The
New York factory and salesroorn is lo-
cated at 130 and 138 Greene street, where
novelties and fine leathers, the leading
specialties. are ready for immediate de'
livery. Mr. Arne‘s leathers are well
known to the best but manufacturers.
Davenport & Andrews are manufac—
turing a flue wine stiff hat which they

for the past few months to manufactur-

A block which has the merit of novelty
and originality is the Melrose introduced
by Crofut d: Knapp. The peculiarity is
seen in the entirely different effect of
the front and side view. In front it pre~
sents the appearance of a verv full Der-

the able view presents a very pointed

a genuine aucceee. Among other shapes
in the market is a square crown. slightly

There are various modifications in rby
shapes. sufficiently so to call them new
but not marked enough to describe. The
really popular bat. as said last month. is
a neat Derby in moderate proportions

etyltu toward narrower brims, but it will
not be developed probably until the
spring season.
The Dunlap. Knox and Youman hats
will be issued the latter part of this

the Knox Derby is of the conventional
shape, rather full crown. neat and hand-

no rude.
Just why the hat trade should be so
dull at the present time is one of those
things that fails of satisfac explana-
tion. Hardly any of the trips by the
commercial men here have been up to
expectations or equid in amount of sales
to the first fall trips of previous menus.
Various solutions are offered. each of
which has more or less bearing upon the
object. but no one of which gives either
a moon or a remedy. Besides being dull
the trade is peculiar inasmuch as some
factories are very dull indeed at a season
when they are usually Just starting up.
