Dow7i the Road. 19 



By this time the horn of the Rapid is heard in the 

 distance, and in a few minutes it pulls up at the 

 Cellars, having performed its journey from West 

 AVickham, through Beckenham, Penge, Sydenham, 

 Dulwich, and Kennington, arriving in Piccadilly 

 about eleven A.M., returning in the course of the 

 afternoon. The proprietors of the Rapid are Lord 

 Arthur Somerset and Mr. C. A. R. Hoare, with James 

 Selby as professional coachman. This, as might be 

 expected, is an excellent turn-out, capitally horsed, 

 and appears to load well, the route traversed being 

 pleasant throughout. 



The Windsor coach is announced to leave the 

 Cellar at half-past ten A.M., passing along Piccadilly, 

 over Kew Green, to the Greyhound at Richmond, 

 thence crossing the Thames, calling at the Orleans 

 Club at Twickenham, thence through Teddington, 

 Bushey Park, Hampton, and Staines, arriving at the 

 Castle Hotel at Windsor at 1.40 P.M. This a lovely 

 ride at this period of the year. The owners of the 

 Windsor coach — which, by-the-bye, is painted the 

 colour of the Royal ^lail — are Mr. W. Bailey, Colonel 

 Greenall, and Mr. Spicer, of the 1st Life Guards. 

 Under such auspices, and with such a capital road, 

 the Windsor is bound to be a success. 



Viscount Castlereagh has the Dorking coach, which 

 traverses Clapham, Balham, Tooting, Merton, Ewell, 

 Epsom, Leatherhead, and Mickleham. This is also 

 an extremely pretty ride, and, as the Dorking was 

 well patronised during the past season, it doubt- 

 less will be this, and must be looked upon as a pro- 

 fitable investment.
