4 Famous 'sWhip.'

Amongst the most famous Of the stage
coaches Of our fathers, was "The Tele-
graph, which ran on the Old South
ampton road, and was for many years
driven BY a man whose fame as S'tl1e best
whip in England" has survived even 10
tie present day. His name, John Peer, is
still remembered or the road, and stories
Of his skill and his wonderful doings are
still talked If IN old roadside inHs and at
the tables of good old country gentlemen,
With whom he was an especial favorte.
Nimrod, in his articles on "The Road,
said, AS for Peer on the Telegraph, he
IS unrivalled. He is Peerless or like
Hunts jet blaeking, he is matehless.' This
famous whip was discovered in 1862
amongst The poor Of a London union, still
cheerful, and still fayorite amongst those
With whom the downfall Of coaching had
unfortunately associated with him. Jack
Peer was always q favofite-frank and
honest, gallant and generous, he made
friends with high and low, and when a
worthy English baronet-himself fa-
nous amateur whip-exerted himself in
the poor old paupers behalf, the appeal
vas promptly responded q by numerous
friends and admirers, by whom he was
speedily assigned more independent
position. He was then still hale and hearty,
and Hampshire gentleman who invited
him to stay With him Ut his residence,
..uear the scene Of his former glory des.
eribed him as ssthe Prince Of Whips. Z
Tanks to these friends, his latter days
were. rendered far more comfortable than
they otherwise would have been.
