Friday morning We were startled by
hearing strange unearthly noise, which
proceeded from the west end of the street.
At first We thought that one of Barnum's
elephants had escaped and was making his
way back to New York, but the mystery
was soon explained by genuine Tally
Ho" Bus, with four plumed horses, and
filed to overlooking, dashing up to Dor
mans hotel. where the passengers stopped
for breakfast. On the outside of the vehi-
Gle, in large letters, were the words, Tally
Ho, Ashtabula." The party was composed
of twelve young men Of Ashtabula, all
musicians, and bound for the band tour
nament at Girard. The Coach started at
6:15 a. m. and arrived here at 7:50, under
the guidance Of Funny" Phelps, the
champion Jehu of this section.

the shaft, was wound around it, and final
