[edit]Century
[edit]Century Dictionary[4] Page 6172: tally-ho : 2. A name for a mail-coach or a four-in-hand pleasure coach; by extension, in the United States, a general name for such coaches. (Example) The mail still announced itself by the merry notes of the horn; the hedge-cutter or the rick-thatcher might still know the exact hour by the unfailing yet otherwise meteoric apparition of the pea-green Tally-ho or the yellow Independent. George Eliot, Felix Holt, Int.

[edit]Page 263, Tally-Ho: An American term, of the late 1800s, for a coach. A dictionary stated that a Tally-Ho was ‘a four-in-hand pleasure coach, probably so called from the horn blown on it!’
Page 263: *‘Tally-Ho’ There were several coaches so named in England — the most famous being the London-Birmingham Coach which was depicted by James Pollard.

[edit]Page 270 TALLY-HO — A popular American term for a four-in-hand COACH, derived from the individual name of the ROAD COACH introduced in 1876 by Colonel Delancey Kane for service between the Brunswick Hotel in New York City, and Pelham. ‘‘Some newspapers,” wrote Fairman Rogers, “in writing about the Pelham coach, called it the ‘Tally-ho,’ and others, less well informed, called all four-horse coaches ‘Tally-ho’s.’ ” The error was perpetuated by an American dictionary, the Century, which in 1891 gave as one of the meanings of the term, “‘a four-in-hand pleasure-coach.” The application of the term to any ROAD COACH is entirely incorrect, and should be avoided.
