The handcart was piled high with

the slope from Nassau street to Broad

over the bar and push with all his

of big horses. When the driver saw
what was ahead. he started up his

the rearmost bag on the handcart,
where he could push to the greatest

Thus the horses began to push the
handcart up the hill.
All.the handcart man had to do was
to stand up. hold on to the handlebar,
and keep the handcart straight. The
big horses. guided by the friendly
driver. were doing the pushing; and
