ELEGANT MEcHANIsM.-We have always
taken great pride in speaE ing of the elegant
carriages and sleighs built in this city, and
have had occasion tine past winter to speak of
the elegant sleighs built by Martin & Pennel,
and also by J. M. Kimball & Co., and we then
thought it would be almost impossible to excel
these beautiful sleighs. But we are bound to
confess land we have no doubt every one after
seeing, will say we are correctly that Mr.. G. P.
Kimball has produced sleigh, that is now on
exhibition at his factory, that far surpasses
any thing of the kind ever before built in this
Or any other sleigh building country. 1t is
built for gentleman in Boston of great wealth
and refined taste and is the most charming COM
bination of elegant workmanship, exquisite
taste and beautiful proportion of anything in
the sleigh line ever bef,re produced. 1t was
built after the sleigh season was over, for the
purpose of keeping it on exhibition during this
season. 1t will be here a week or two, land by
the way we would suggest to Mr. K. to exhibit
it in some of the fine stores ON Middle or Ex-
change Streets then it will go to the establish
ment of Kimball Bros. & Co., Boston.
We only wish it could have been sent to the
great Paris Exposition. We believe it would
have been vely attractive and beneficial to our
State; and we know it would have done Port
land mechanics great honor. But our friends
will say we are enthusiastic, so we will Just say
to all, go see this wonderful sleigh, and see if
all we say is not true.
