NAMES OF CARRIAGES.
How Some Familiar Vehicles Obtained
Their CognomeBs.

The origin of the names OF the vari-
Gus STYLES of wheeled conveyances
used ia this country aud England is
rather interesting study. Take. for
example, the ordinary everyday
"hacks." Originally they were termed
hackncy-coaches because they were
drawn by hackneys-a name applied to
easy going. safe-pacing horses.
The term coach is derived from the
French cochc. diminutiye form of the
Latin coachuld. a shell. in which form
the body of such conveyances was
originally fashioned.
Seldom. If ever, is the full term om-
nibus applied TO those heavy, lumber
ing vehicles found in many large cities.
With the characteristic brevty of En-
glish speaking races the title has been
changed to bus. These were first seen
in Paris in 1927. and the original name
of omnibus is derived from the fact
that it appeared on the side of each
conveyauce-beingn nothing more than
the Latin word signifying. for ALL
Cab is an abbreviation of the Italian
caprioia, which is changed to cabnofet
(cabriolay) in French. Both words
have common derivatiye--cdbrioLe-
signifying u goats leap. The exact
reason for giving it this strange APP
pellation is unknown. unless because
of the lightness and springineSs OF the
vehicle in its original form.
In many instances the name OF
special forms of carriages are derived
from titles of the persons who intro
drced them. A striking example is the
brougham. which was first used by the
famous Lord Brougham. William w..
who prior to becoming King OF En-
gland had been the Duke of Clarence.
gave the latter name TO his favorite
mode of conveyance. The popular
hansom derives its Distinguishing title
from n certain Mr.. Hanson. and the
particular form OF carriage known ms
The tilbury-at one time very fashion
able. but now seldom seen was so
| called from sporting gentleman oi
London who rcjoiccd in the cognomen

Landau, n city in Germany, was the
locality in which was first made the
| style of vehicle bearing that name.
Tho word sulky. rs applied TO 8
| wheeled conveyance. had It's origin in
the fact that when it first appeared the
person who saw it considered that none
| but "a sulky, selfish man would ride in
such an affair. which afforded accom-
mediation to but one individual. The
strange title was never changed.
Coupe is French in origin, being de-
vised from the verb cooper (coopay).
to cut. This was considered au ap.
propriate designation because it great
ly resem bled coach with the front
part cut of.
The old-fashioned gig was given
that name from its peculiar jumping z
and rocking motion. the word being
taken from the French gigue signify
ing n jig. or lively dance.
Other instances could be quoted. but
these given relate 10 the best-knowu
vehicles, and are considered sufficient
to show the peculiarilics OF carriage
nomenclature. Detroit Free Press.

The rest nodded approval aud the

One man admitted that he had gone

about the route because his friend
