To be used for trade purposes, it would look very well with the body painted chocolate lined out with vermilion; the under parts, such as shafts, wheels, etc., being painted a light yellow, picked out with a broad line of black, edged with vermilion. Another colour for hard wear and to look well is a good dark green, the body fine-lined with a lighter green, and the under parts picked out with the same colour as the lines on the body, and edged up, or gauged off with a fine line of a straw colour. Blue cannot be recommended for the purpose, as it has a tendency to fade and turn white •, but if used for the body it should be fine-lined yellow and the under parts painted red picked out in black. In pleasure carts it is customary to have the bodies black, without any lines at all, excepting the front seats and brackets, but the kind of vehicle determines in a great measure the manner in which it is to be finished. It may perhaps be as well to add that the broad lines on a trap, usually on the centre of the spokes, shafts, and springs, represent " picking out," whilst fine lines are 1 he samller ones sometimes used by themselves, when they are called counter-lines, and at other time, edged on the picking out, or run up the centre of the same, when they are termed split lines.
