The new constructed narrow-wheel wagon is now finished; it weighs nineteen-
hundred and an half, and was tried last Saturday, when it carried 15 sacks of flour and
two sacks of pollard, weighing two ton, with great ease from Cluer-mill near Windsor,
to Eton, drawn by two horses; the construction is so well executed, that it goes uphill
loaded with great facility. It will be sent to town next week for the inspection of the
Society of Arts, Sciences, &c.
