At half-past two o'clock yesterday the "Big Coach" made its appearance in front of Bath's Hotel, with sixteen roadsters attached thereto, and driven by the well known Jehu, Shepherd. The interior was quite full with ladies, and the gentlemen occupied the out-side of the vehicle. Mr Smith, of the Red Hill Photographic Rooms took a splendid photograph of the mammoth coach and its load, after which it drove up Lydiard, Mair, and Raglan streets, and when near the Hospital eight of the horses were unyoked, and it proceeded to the Copenhagen Grounds where it deposited its living freight.[2]
