From Henrietta Beradt, Lake
Geneva, Wisconsin: InHhe early
1900’s our lake became the sum-
mer home for wealthy Chicago
business men. This was before
the days of automobiles. Horses
were the means of transportation
in Use community.
The rivalry as to who hid tbs
best, fastest and most stylish turn-
out produced a daily horse show
as they met the "five fifteen",
train at the railroad station.
Coachman and footman in full
livery on the box, horses, their
coats shining from careful groom-
ing. tails docked as was the style,
harness with metal parts gleam-
ing waited nervously for the train
to arrive;
There was beauty and variation
in the vehicle* There would be
victories, station traps, broughams
and others but the ones we young-
sters loved the best were the tally-
hoes.
With,their two pairs of horses
driven tandem style and two men,
usually the owner and a coachman
on the high front seat, and foot-
man and. bugler on a small aaat
with railing on the back they
would come dashing down-the
dusty unpaved roads while the
.bugle was blown loud and clear to
warn other traffic of their ap-
proach
My greatest thrill was a ride
atop a real stage coach with the
horses in full gallop over the
uneven roads and bugle sounding
while I held fast to my cousins
on either side for my legs were
too short to reach the floor. -
These are some of my memories
of childhood.

Mark Good Fluking Spot*
If you fish a lake often
enough you get to know the
most likely spots where lutik-
er* lurk.
Fishermen with piscatorial
savvy often mark such spots
by daubing nearby stumps,
trees, logs, or stakes, with
• bright’flourescent paint. Occa-
sionally they use the same sort
of paint to brighten large fish
net floats anchored to the lake
bottom to mark such locations.
