NEW STYLES IN CARRIAGES.
Old Gentlemen anu Ladies' Specially Cared
for-Results of Fresh Designs,

W. AASo
During the lastfew days of favorable
weather the roads have literally been
thropged with vehicles of all descrip-
tons, and any number of new styles
have been seen out. Hence the car
riage-makers have been put to their
best to supply the exacting demand for
novelties made upon them and a num-
Der of attractive turnouts have been
produced.
For ease and comfort the grand
phaton is noted. 1t is an elegant,
Understanding carriage, mounted on
suspension springs, and is very easy.
1t is well adapted to display a lady's
dress. The phaton is painted black,
and has a hair-line of amber for dec
Grafton. In front the drivers seat
stands six feet from the ground, under
which is a French boot. AT the back
is a rumble for a footman. With a
pair of handsome bay horses, a high
hood, French lamps, and liveried SER
wants, it will make one of the most
handsome turnouts to be seen this sea
son. Mr.. S. j. Tilden and Mrs. George
Osgood have each purchased one. 1t
weighs 1875 pounds and costs $4,000.
A new g~entleman's spider phaton
has been made and sells readily. It'll
much lighter than the old ph@ton,
having the seats mounted on fine
wrought-iron work in place of the old
heavy boxes. 1t can be used with or
without a hood and has a rumble at
the back for Il footman. 1t weighs
eight hundred pounds and costs ST.
100. Another very roomy phaton has
been made especially for ladies' use.
1t is beautifully ornamented with
cane-work on the body and has a large
top extending well forward to protect
them from the suns rays. In front is
an elaborate silver-plated driving rail
ornamented with acorns. 1t is mount

A new style of brougham called the
London is very handsome. 1t is mount
ed on heavy wheels painted carmine
and black. Judge Hilton has purchas-
ed one, and had it richly painted in
dark colors with his monogram on the
panels. 1t costs $3.50. An extension
brougham with octagon front seats
for four persons has handsome cylin-
der lamps and costs S1,450. All these
carriages are mounted on very fine plat
form springs. They are entirely a new
feature, and are a great improvement
to the carriage.
A very handsome brougham is paint
ed dark green and canary. 1t is ele-
gantly finished and furnished with
satin cushions and horn fittings. 1t
also has oak stable shutters. to be used
when not in use. This costs S1,400.
The demi-mall phaeton is mounted
on full Collins axles and has solid
wheels. 1t makes a very fine gentle
mans turnout and has a rumble for
the footman. 1t weighs 812 pounds
and costs $l,050.
Mrs. Orme Wilson, nee Aston, will
be seer out in a new French victoria.
1t is a very handsome carriage, mount
ed on platform springs, and elegantly
upholstered with brown fittings. A
par of handsome French lamps dec
crate the sides. The carriage weighs
1923 pounds and costs $3.50. The
duke of victoria can be used as a vic
toria or lady's driving phaeton. II
has a shifting drivers seat and shifting
rumble. When used as a phaeton the
coachman's seat is taken away, and
when as a victoria the rumble is re-
moved. 1t costs 1880. The Count
d'Orsay Is n of the grandest looking
carriages made. 1t weighs LAO
pounds, and Nhe body is mounted on
leather braces. 1t is also called the
e%ight-spring D'Orsay 1t is painted
dark green, and striped with light
green and carmine. A pair of elegant
silver lamps give it a very handsome
appearance. Mr.. Cornell, ex-Gov.
Tilden, and Mrs. Osgood have each
purchased one of them. They cost
$500.
Several new light driving wagons
have been bought. Mr.. Washington
E. Conner has purchased a side-bar
wagon, to weigh POO pounds and cost
S5l5. Mr.. Blair, of Washington, has
purchased a very light one. Mr.. w.
Vanderbilt has bought a light, single
seated wagon weighing $50 pounds,
and one for two persons. The secret
of the lightness and great strength OF
these wagons lies in the axle, which,
instead of being all iron, is half wood.
A vertical steel plate is inserted IL
the wood and forms a perfect arch,
this greatly strengthens and stitfens
the axle, and causes the wheels tc
run plumb and prevent any strain on
the spokes and hubs.-NeW York Mai
