208 APPOINTMENTS FOR TANDEM. 



The harness for Lady's Phaeton and Similar Carriages 

 should be of the same type as for a run-about, except that 

 the collar should be shaped, breeching used instead of kick- 

 ing-strap, and standing martingale. Buxton bit with pulley- 

 bridoon if full bearing-rein is used. Square buckles are 

 preferable. 



FOR WET WEATHER. 



In harness of this type all the furniture is leather cov- 

 ered, fronts, rosettes, names, buckles, etc., and the leather 

 used is black and generally of pigskin, as it is more imper- 

 vious to rain. 



FOR A PONY CART. 



When intended for a basket-cart, russet harness with 

 either brass or silver plated mounts looks better than black, 

 but for any dark four-wheeled vehicle the latter color is 

 preferable. A hame collar should be used, and if the har- 

 ness is for a " two-wheeler " the purchaser should assure him- 

 self that the tug-strap slips freely through the saddle

 mined by individual taste, and in giving the details of each 

 the author simply states his own preference.
