Patent for a new and improved gate. This design has for its object, "first, to provide a gate that the rider or driver can open or shut without dismounting; second, one that cannot be left accidentally open, so as to admit stock to pass through an inclosure; and third, one that the vehicle or horse[-rider] passes over, and one that the wind does not affect" (lines 11-17).
