OUR IMPROVED SKELETON WAGON 



PATENT APPLIED FOR. 



We beg to call the attentio" of Breeders, Trainers, and Drivers to the above cut, which representv 

 ■our latest improved Skeleton Wagon. 



For a number of years past the ROAD Cart has been used as the principle vehicle for speeding 

 and jogrging the trotter, and upon its introduction was considered averygood thing for that purpose, 

 but Its use has failed to verify this fact, as tiie cart is being discarded and is fast growing Into dis- 

 favor on account of its absolute tendency to ruin the pnreness of i^ait of the trotter, which tendency 

 is due to that peculiar bobbing motion and weight on the horse's back, which is wholy unavoidable 

 • in the road cart, no matter who makes it; therefore, the SKELETON WAGON, which was laid aside, 

 upon the introduction of the cart, has again become (with more favor than ever), the principle 

 vehicle for jogginc training, speeding, and gaiting the trotting horse. The principle objection to 

 -oil other Skeleton Wagons Is the low side bar, wliieh prevents a short turn, and is the cause of bend- 

 ing or breaking spindles and severe accidents. It will be seen by the above cut, with our high arch 

 liar, a very 6hortturncanbemade,whichi3 very essential, as it obviates the breaking of wheels and 

 ^Bplndles, and avoids accidents. The general construction of this wagon Is such asto prevent the 

 spreading of wheels when under full speed. Can also be made much lighter than on any other con- 

 istruction; therefore for jogging, for speeding, or for getting aconsplcuous view of the gait of your 

 borse, the Skeleton Wagon, as now improved by us, will fill a long-felt want. Made in all sizes, 

 ^rom 65 IbB. up. SEND FOR FULL DESCRIPTION.
