CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY

| grandiose order. The vehicle itself will cos

$3.50. dependent upon the material and work. Il
elaborateiy stitched, ornamented, and mountee
with gold or silver, it will reach the latter fiG
ure; SO we find that the vehicle in which as I
family We take our constitutionals requires
disbursement varying from $3.50 to 2,360 IN
clndlng tho necessary paraphernahA. 1heee
figures give some idea OF the ordinary expendl
ture which meete our eye continually as re Hals
abroad.
1t last, however, it ii found that the old
fashioned Rockaway is not quito in keeping With
its mansard roof Madame thinks
A COUPE
would be more in consonancs with her social
surroundings, and the old carriage is devoted to
the use OF tie nurse and children. This costs.
for tho vehicle alone, from 81 GOO to 81 250.
New equipments will add from $500 to $500 ;
aud thus wo find the internal revenue catechtner
may add another item Of from 81, 200 to 81, ,35o
to his schedule OF values.
Still evolving from what may have been origin
ally hand-cart or a cdrrosse au po1sss1eTe, We
find the ne1t most desirable vehicle to be
CLARENCE
These are worth about 81, 500, but haye been
made with extra finish at an outlay Of 81. 800.
The necessary harness, ETC.. to accompany this,
will cost from $3.50 to 590O,-thus d1iug the
price OF the new exponent OF social and financial
SUCCESS visible to the almiring or enyious crowd
who trudge through dust and mud, at figures

Tho farorite carriago with Chicagoans, how
ever, Is
THE LAEDAuLET,
costing from 81, $50 to S, ,750; adding to which
our estimates, we find the aggregate will reach
from 81 800 to $3.50. This seems to take in
about tie entire variety Of vehicles usually fur
ninhed by Chicago manufacturers to the local
trade.
OTHER VEHICLES.
The Central-Park Driving-Phaoton, hung high,
and fitted up for four-in-hand, costs from 5000
to 81 200. OF course the extra expenses for
sucn m outfit will in certain items be doubled.
The harness will cost from $400 to 81 500; lap
robes blankets. ETC., arc also necessary III extra
quantities; aud the entire outfit may be esti-
mated as costing from 81, ,965 to $3,575. The
English Drag Mail Coach, and Irish Jaunting-
Car, though not unfrequently seen East, have
not vet added their extra items OF extravaganza
to tho Western world.
TIE CHILDREN
also have their specialtics: Dos-Cart
on tho Avenue attracted some nttcn-
ton ono day last week.. 1t consisted
Of = small box on wheels, with 4 seat
containing 50-pound boy while in the shafts,
or rather BY traces, Was harnesaed the motor
power in tho shape OF 30-oound dog. What We
should think OF soeing q 1000 pound horse draw
= 2, 00o-pound man, were such thing possible,
We leave to the imasinstion Of our readers. As,
however, he Ii considered capable OF dragging
that amount of dead weight. We suppose it is al
right.
L fancy four-soat-team for the children is
another fayotlte extravaganza which has not
reached this city in it's full measure OF COM
peteness. 1t may bo estimated "a costing from
33U0 to $500.
NETT CONES THE LIGHT TR0TT1N9 WAGON,
single or double, and the srlky. valued at prices
ranging between $3.50 and $500. About these
the genus homo has as many freaks as be has
about his yacht. He fancies there never Was
wagon whose running gear was quite as perfect
as that particular lucky purchase Of his, and he
places fancy value on it, and thinks he is
specially fortunate dog in being its poaseasor.
You cannot buy it Of him, because it has been
ono Of those happy inspirations or isolcted acci-
dents Of mechanical combination which will
mover occur again. Ask him to lend yon a
Thousand dollars, but do not try to borrow that
unique wagon. Independent Of the expensive
horae1esh that must accompany this miracle OF
mechanism, We find it must have cost
our friend, when fully equipped, from
$500 to 81, ,200,--th lower estimate applying
only to the Sulky, nod therefore not approach-
ing the general estimate, from $3.50 to sl.2O
being nearer tho approximate value Of tho best
etyle Of light Trottlng-Wagon. Tho Dog-Cart
which many affoct costs FROM $500 to 81 zoo;
the English Dog -Ca1t, on two wheels, from $500
to 81. 900, With the preceding estimates OF &C
coutrements added thereto.
For the benefit Of Mrs. GrundY, that she n1ny
be naughty or humble according to tho dictates
Of her conscience, IL it has been perfected in
moneyoiatry, We subjosn
