[60] The phaeton has found particular favour in France. At the Paris Exhibition in 1878 was shown a phaeton built at Rouen, which, according to the official Report, was “the finest small carriage exhibited in the French department for ingenuity and fitness for work.” [61] Sir Walter Gilbey had a _posting brougham_ built for his own use, which to an even greater extent resembled the old chariot. In this case postilions were used. [62] “The Patent Dioropha, or two-headed carriage, combining in one a clarence or pilentum coach, complete with all its appointments; a barouche, with folding head and three-fold knee-flap; and an open carriage. The heads can be removed or exchanged with facility by means of a pulley attached to the ceiling of the coach-house, aided by a counterpoise weight.” _Vide_ the Official Catalogue, which also gives illustrations of several Indian carriages, such as the _Keron_, the rath, a Mahratta carriage from Bengal, and a lady’s carriage from Lahore—the last being a four-wheeled conveyance covered with scarlet and crimson cloth, and shut in with thick curtains. [63] The only sulky now to be seen in this country is the trotting carriage used in races—a mere skeleton. See also p. 210.
