 elastic fabrics, equally ornamental, and much more durable than 

 woven lace. 



COACH BOOTS. 



These are made of plated and napped gum-elastic canvas, 

 either at the gum-elastic factories or with the needle. The 

 napped canvas presents a woolen surface on the inside, and 

 forms a warm lining, it is most suitable for this purpose, although 

 the plated fabrics not napped may be lined with other goods, 

 like the leather boots which are commonly used. See plate xxi., 

 fig. 1. 



WAGON AND CHAISE BOOTS. 



These are manufactured in all respects like the coach boots 

 before described, only they are made of a lighter description of 

 materials. See plate xxi., fig. 2. 



BAGGAGE BOOTS 



Are made of plated and barred gum-elastic canvas felt. They 

 are used for protecting from the weather the baggage placed 

 upon the rack at the hinder part of the coach. See plate xxi., 

 fig. 3.
