horse's bit, another called a coupling-rein, which has a buckle towards the 

 driver running upon the driving-rein, so that it may be taken up or let 

 out at pleasure, according to the mouth of the horse and his tendency to do 

 more or less work than his share. These several points of difference are 

 shown in the engraving (page 342), in which a set of double harness, suited 

 to a light phaeton or brougham, is shown. The traces are made to slip on 

 roller-bolts, instead of having eyes as for single harness. 



FOUR-IN-HAND 



THE HARNESS for four-in-hand wheelers resembles that shown on page 342, 

 excepting that it is more massive, and the terrets are double for the passage 

 of the leaders' reins. A ring is also fixed to the top of the head-piece of the 

 bridle so as to carry the reins forward to the leaders well above their croup. 

 The leaders' traces have eyes which slip on to the bars attached to the pole.
