COACHING RULES STRICT.

Every detail about a road coach and park drag z
is governed by the strictest rules. Each scrap
of wood. metal. leather, cloth, carpet and the
like must conform to coaching regulations as 10
quality place. size, weight and color. Brown
leather ribbons may be used on both a road
coach and park drag but the harness of the
latter must be glossy black patent leather, while
that of the former may be either black or brown.
In one case monograms decorate the rOsettes-
whose color IS determined by rule-While on the
road a coach must use sober metal bars or de
vices on leather rosettes
The park drag must not be heavy the
road coach and 1t must be handsomely decor
ated with mOnograms, while certain portions Of
il must correspond in color. It's seats must be
covered with different materials than are usea
on a coach, and II is altogether a much more
luxurious and costly looking vehicle. Even the
rnountings upon a coach harness must be of the
wants Where ribbon is used on the fronts Of
brides II must match the color of the livery
waistcoats Another thing interesting TO know
is that when the owner Of a coach or his rep
resentative drives the stable shutters are al
Wavs down In all other cases these are up.
No less than ffty-four rules are provided to
regulate the equipment of drag and its mar
ness while the road coachs furnishings and fur
bishings are governed bA fifty-one. The park
drag is also equipped with luncheon boxes, VINE
racks and when going to the races or a lunCn-
con with a box on the roof called an Imperial,
probably because il contains royal good cheei.
