Whatever hardships the pioneers of Daj'ton may have endured, they were in the enjoyment of luxuries that would have tickled the palate of an epicure. Fish-baskets, alluded to above, were usually made by building a dam on the riffles, so as to concen- trate the water at the middle of the river, where an opening was made into a box constructed of slats, and placed at a lower level than the dam. Into this box the fish ran, but were unable to retvirn. A basket of this kind remained on the riffle at... the foot of First Street as late as 1830. Previous to 1818 people wishing to visit Cincinnati were obliged to travel by private conveyance. But in the summer of this year a Mr. Lj'on drove a passenger-coach from Da3'ton to Cincinnati once a week, beginning his trips in May. On June 2 D. C. Cooper, of Dayton, and John H. Piatt, of Cincinnati, began run- ning a weekly mail-stage between the two towns, passing through Springdale, Hamilton, Middletown, and Franklin. Two da5-s 1816-1835 139 and a night were required for the trip, the night being spent in Hamilton.
