Batchclor saw with dismay this coach performing 

 the whole journey in one day, while his took two. 

 But he determined to be as good a man as his opponent, 

 if not even a better, and started the next week, at 

 identical fares, " a new large Flying Chariot, with a 

 Box and four horses (by Chailey) to carry two 

 Passengers only, except three should desire to go 

 together." The better to crush the presumptuous 

 Tubb, he later on reduced his fares. Then ensued a 

 diverting, if by no means edifying, war of advertise- 

 ments ; for Tubb, unwilling to be outdone, inserted 

 the following in The Lewes Journal, November, 1762 : 



THIS IS TO INFORM THE PUBLIC that, on Monday, 

 the 1st of November instant, the LEWES and BRIGHT- 

 HELMSTON FLYING MACHINE began going in one day, 

 and continues twice a week during the Winter Season to 

 Lewes only ; sets out from the White Hart, at Lewes, 

 Mondays and Thursdays at Six o'clock in the Morning, 

 and returns from the Golden Cross, at Charing Cross, 

 Tuesdays and Saturdays, at the same hour.
