panel, the harness and saddlery can be kept in very nice order; and even 
a curtain of cloth or canvas will serve a similar purpose, when drawn 
across in front of them. In addition to the brackets, bridle hooks, either 
single or double, like the annexed forms, must be attached to the walls, to 
BRIDLE HOOKS, 
hang the bridles, stirrup leathers, &., to. Masters who are particular 
about their stable arrangements have many other fittings, such as wheels 
for whip-lashes to hang over, &c. &c.; but those which I have enumerated 
are the essentials for a harness-room intended for use rather than show. 
A double hook suspended from the ceiling, where it can be used to hang 
dirty harness on while washing it, is extremely useful; but any groom 
who understands his business will suggest something of the kind, accord- 
ing to circumstances. ‘The prices of brackets, hooks, &c., made of iron

COACH HOUSE. 
IN THE COACH HOUSE mere standing room is all that it is necessary tu 
provide if the harness-room stove is made to answer the double purpose 
of airing both, which should always be managed. Open carriages may be 
kept in tolerably good order without any stove, but the lining of close 
carriages soon becomes mouldy unless heat in some form or other be 
applied. 
SERVANTS’ ROOMS. 
LITTLE NEED BE HERE SAID of the servants’ rooms, but I certainly agreo 
with Mr. Miles in his objection to placing them over the horses. Quiet 
is essential to the sleep of these animals, and if grooms are to be walkiny
