 from the Shelburne Hotel, Dublin, at 11.30, and ran to Grey- 

 stones. In 1887 the road was taken by the Tantivy, in the 

 hands of Mr. Thompson, whose professional was Ernest 

 Fownes. During the same year Messrs. Power and O'Reilly 

 ran a coach they called the P & O between Dublin and Bally- 

 brack ; the same proprietors have run from Dublin to Bray by 

 way of the Scalp. 



In 1888 Mr. Thompson ran through Bray and Dalgany. 



The Buxton to Matlock, Margate to Canterbury, Leam- 

 ington to Stratford-on-Avon, and Folkestone to Canterbury 

 coaches were in the hands of their former proprietors in 1884 ; 

 while in the same year Mr. Woods ran between Petersfield and 

 Winchester, having with him Ernest Fownes, then sixteen years 

 old. Mr. Beckett ran the Express from Brighton to East- 

 bourne, the Wonder being taken off, and a coach was put on 

 from Brighton to Worthing and Arundel. Things were much the 

 same in 1885, in which year Lord Savernake (now Marquis of 

 Ailesbury) put on the Star from Windsor to Henley.
