COACHING CLUB TRIPS 



CH. XXI 



furnish a team ; the requisite number of teams 

 having been obtained, each member is assigned a 

 stage, usually by lot, and he is notified at what time 

 and place his horses are to be in readiness, on the 

 road, for his change. It is customary to assign the 

 last stage to the entertaining member. 



All the members going on the trip, start on the 

 coach, and each one takes up his own team at its 

 appointed place and drives it over his stage ; his 

 men go inside the coach with their blankets and 

 stable tools. 



A card for the seats is so made out that the box 

 seat is occupied in turn by each driving member, 

 thus giving each one an opportunity of seeing one 

 other man drive.
