PUNT CARRIAGES, WAGONS, AND HOUSES 223 



we strongly advise them to include one in their kit, as it will 

 undoubtedly prove of invaluable service whenever it is brought 

 into use. 



We do not recommend a wagon without springs. The 

 roads in the neighbourhood of good fowling grounds, and 

 especially in winter, are often very bad. Travelling the punt 

 on a springless wagon over such roads means bumping and 

 shaking, which naturally do no good to the punt.

Punt Wagon 



Our sketch of the subject is as simple as we can make it in 

 keeping with the necessary requirements of a punt-wagon. 

 Really, it is nothing more than a long, flat-topped vehicle on 

 four wheels and springs. The front pair of wheels turn simi- 

 larly to those on an ordinary rully. Reference to our sketch 

 (which is one of a wagon made to take a large punt and all 

 gear) should furnish some idea of what the wagon is like. We 

 cannot say what price would be charged for such a wagon. 

 The one from which our sketch is made, when new, cost ^15.
