Regan, the Nicholson’s fine standardbred. I assume. In and around 1900 they kept this horse and a cow. By 1908, all they had was this ‘fine’ carriage in the back, which was employed by the local MNA on his election rounds in 1912.
Funny, that politicians would electioneer by horse and carriage and not by automobile. His name was Peter Mackenzie and he was Finance Minister. No doubt he owned an automobile. Most well-off men did by then and the middle-class men were following suit.
