Jf- BROOKS BROTHERS, Broadway, cor 22d St., New York City, Clothing and Furnishing Goods, Ready Made and Made to Measure. j. j, fHE shape, style and finish of our Ready Made Garments for Men, Boys and Children continue, we believe, to show improvement and at prices that will compare favorably with articles much inferior in material and workmanship. We have, besides the usual full stock of suitings, a complete line of “ Knickerbockers,” re-inforced and plain for Riding and Golf, Morning Coats, Riding Vests, etc. In our Furnishing Department will be found novelties in Fancy Half Hose, Scotch Long Hose and rich brocades for Scarfs to order. Shetland and Fair Isle Sweaters, Skating Caps, Mitts and Lamb’s Wool Jackets. Many of these goods are in con- fined patterns and cannot be found elsewhere. Catalogue, samples and rules for self-measurement will be sent on application. Our location, one block from Madison Square, is convenient to the leading hotels and easy of access from the principal rail- way stations in New York and vicinity.

Dedicatory Poem. Only a tear on friendship's altar That tells of the love we bore. Only a prayet fond friends can falter For those who are now no more. The richest flowers oi virtue rare Bloom not more purely blown Than in the souls of those whom here In sorrow deep we mourn. Yet no despair our grief appalls With horror grim and vast Naught but a benediction falls The Valley's shadow past. Deeds oft are eloquent to tell What silences the tongue. Around the brows we loved so well A laurel wreath we ve hung. ’Tis but a wreath of feeble praise And yet it speaks aloud The memories of by-gone days. Which time can never shroud. It crowns the merit of two men Whose lives with us shall live. And as we think of them again. Ennobling power give. A sacred honor now we claim , To them this volume small We dedicate in memory’s name At friendship’s loyal call.
