OI.UKM Tin I' COACHING
During the early purt ol tho last century It would
appear that tbe "City Pa'tiers1' of New York
became alive to tbe Itnportauce of adopting soajn
means lor facilitating social and commercial inter
course between tbeir municipality aul Philadelphia.
Accordingly, about the year 1730. and soon after tbe
?rection of the Middle Dutch Church, a
Ibcal historian slates that "a line ol stages
?was established between Now York and Philadelphia,
to run once a loituight during the winter mouths,
Itid proposals were issued lor a loot post to Albany,"
liess than u qu.irter ol a century later another ellort
was made toward giving the people of tho former
titles .id Improved mode of travelling, and on* that
aas doubtless regarded as "rapid transit" at tlmt pe
riod. The scheme alluded to is foreshuuowed in tho
following advertisement of Junuury, 1753:?
This Is to acqu-Mut gcutlanieu and others who have a
mind to transport liiiunselves, wares or merobaudiso
Irom Mew York to 1'uiludelplna, or Irom Philadelphia
to New York, that there is now aslugi- bout, well liitsd,
kept by William Vandrills, wno proposes, wind sua
Weather permuting, to nail from New York to Am boy
every Monday ana lhursduy and thence by wagon to
Burlington and thence lake parage 10 Philadelphia.

Tbe wagou* mentioned abovo wore constructed al

until about tbe year 18JU ttiat a daily line of stagos
rau between tbo two elites, and, connecting wlto
