Hyde Park.
Hyde Park. The above gentleman takes this method of advertising for a wife. He has hitherto led a single life, which, upon reflection, he cannot help considering an act of ingratitude toward the sex in general, with whom, he has every reason to believe he is no small favorite...His dress is a military blue surtout, closely and tastefully braided; a hat, with a broad black band immediately above the brim; and white trousers, with straps to correspond. He always carries and umbrella, though he disclaims all connexion whatever with Paul Pry.
