for tho vehicle alone, from 81 900 to 81, ,251.
New equipments will add from s200 to $500; !;
and thus We find the internal revenue c2techiser
may add another item OF from $1,000 to 81, $50

costing from 81, $50 to 81 ,75o; adding to which
our estimates, we find the aggregate will reach
from 81 800 to s2,G5o. This seems to take in
about the entire variety Of vehicles usually fur
nished BY Chicago manufacturers TO the local
trade.
OTHER VEHICLES.
The Central-park Driving -rhaeton, hung high,
and fitted up for four-in-hand, costs from 5000
to II 200. OF courEe tho extra expenses for
such an outfit will in cartain items DO doubled.
The harness will cost from $500 to 81, 500; lap
robes, blankets, etc, are also necessary in extra
quantities; and the entire outfit may DO esti-
mated as costing from 81, ,365 to s3, SIS. Tbs
English Drag Mail Coach, and Irish Jaunting-
Car, though not unfrequontly seen East, have
not yet added their e1tra items Of extzayasance
to the Western world.
THE CHILDREN
also have their specia1tles. A Dog-Cart
OF small box on wheels, with a seat
containing 5o-pound boy; while in the shafts,
or rather by traces, WAS ha1nessed tha motor
power in the shape Of 30-pound dog. What ne
q 20oo-pound man, were such q thing possible
VIC leave to tho Imagination OF our readers. As
however, he ia considered capable OF dragging
that amount OF dead weight, We suppose it ia ali
right.
a fancy four-goat-team for tho children is
another fayorite extravaganza which has not
reached this city in its full measure Of COM
pieteness. It may bo estimated as costing from
$500 to $500.

ranging between $3.50 and $500. About these
the genus homo has AZ many freaks aa he has

our friend, when fully equipped, from
5000 to Sl,200,--the lower estimate applying
only~ to the Sulky, and therefore not approach-
ng tho general cstlnate,-from 300 to $1,000
being nearer the approximate value OF the best
stylc OF light Trottlng- Wagon. The Dog-Cart
which many affect costs from $500 to $1,000;
he English Dog-Cart, on two wheels, from $3.50
