LIGHT SULKY FOR TROTTING

Vehicle Invented for Racing Purposes That Takes All of Driver’s Weight Off Shafts. In order to make a sulky that will be very light, aDd one in which the weight of the driver will be entirely removed from the shafts, an inventor has adopted a bicycle design. The two wheels of the sulky are mounted in tandem, and are supported in a

frame of the bicycle type, which IN not only very light, but Is also very strong. The shafts of the sulky are connected to the steering post of the front wheel of the bicycle, so that the wheel will follow the horse around curves and sharp turns. The tractive effort with a vehicle of thiß sort will be practically negligible.
