276 Hark Away. 



The enterprise of our modern Jehus, however, is 

 not confined to the sultry hours of summer-tide, for 

 the St. Albans coach has performed its journeys 

 through frost and snow ; and that capital coachman, 

 Major Dixon, was to be seen handling the ribbons 

 throughout the whole of this unparalleled winter; 

 whilst the energetic Captain Hargreaves did the 

 journey to and from Uxbridge, though bitter blew 

 the blast. Now that 



" Surely mnter passes off, 

 Far to the north, and calls his ruffian blasts," 



any lover of the amusement may indulge his fancy 

 to the fullest extent by journeying to the White 

 Horse Cellar, Piccadilly, where he will find the 

 ]\lessrs. Banks at their post, who will put him up to 

 the time of day, and in the pleasantest manner point 

 out the different journeys, giving the names of the 

 coachmen and all necessary particulars. Already he 

 will have a choice of several first-rate coaches. If 

 he desires only to take a short trip, he can jump up 

 on the Dorking and sit by the side of that well- 

 known performer, Sir Henry de Bathe, or that clever 

 whip, Lord Arthur Somerset ; and he need not fear 

 to entrust himself to a tyro such as Mr. Hunt, who, 

 though new to coaching, has yet had plenty of ex- 

 perience with his own teams, having been perfected 

 in the art, if I mistake not, by Ben Hubble, one of 

 the smartest whips in creation — to use a Yankee 

 term for a proficient. If he selects this journey he 

 will pass through the prettiest parts of the county of 

 Surrey, going via Clapham, Mitcham, Morden, Epsom, 

 Leatherhead, and Mickleham, As the season advances
