Centaur ; 



Light and ventilation are matters for careful considera- 

 tion. As regards the latter, no special rule can be laid 

 down, much depending upon the buildings themselves ; but, 

 to perfectly carry off all foul air, and introduce sufficient 

 fresh, without draught, is essential. 



For the former plenty of light, but subdued in tone, is 

 necessary, and this can be assisted by a judicious selection 

 of the head linings. Tiles of neutral tints are preferable. 



For inlet ventilators Fig. 9 shows a very good method of 

 opening or closing them, which is simple, nice looking, and 

 combines with it a head -ring for stall. It can be had from 

 the same Firm, who also supply all classes of ventilators 

 and the necessary fittings. 



Fig. 9. 



The tyings for the stalls should be noiseless, should have 

 the weights encased, and, if fitted with brass-mounted cords, 

 are preferable to chains, as before mentioned. 



The Author would here pay that he hopes, by the time 

 this popular Edition of " Centaur '' is issued, to have his 

 Model Stable and Coach-house completed for the inspection 

 and guidance of his readers; and he will be pleased to 

 supply and superintend the fixing of Stable Fittings 

 generally, on the above principle.
