TO ADMIRERS OF LIGHT CARRIAGES.
—HART, 79, New Bond-street, has introduced some of the
lightest, handsomest, and roomiest CARRIAGES that ever were
seen. S. H. is still progressing with others on the light scale,
the style of carriage which has so long been wanting in this
country, as thousands of horses get bent over will] their fore-
legs and knuckled over behind, and sore shoulders, through
having a carriage 3 cwt. too heavy. Persons wanting a carriage
have only to describe the size of the horse, and one will be made
suitable: the horse will go with ease and the riders with com-
fort, as he has introduced a sprint only one inch wide, made of
patent steel, not half the weight of the ordina►y springs. A visit
is solicited. Testimonials to be seen. See opinions of the Press
—The Sun, Morning Post, Observer, Bell's Life, Globe, New York
Hkrald, and Anglo-American Times. One on view at Crystal
Palace.
