DIFFICULTIES IN DRIVING IN NEw-YoRK STATE

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: / am not a bicycist, but do sometimes
drive In the country Recently / had occasion TO
drive from Twilight Park In the Catsf.ls to New
York a distance, as drove of about $50 miles.
OF course, there is no difficulty ever to get fun

md neither is there difficulty In getting prompted

FIRST divergent road that leads you off the track,

strong plea through your columns for gudeboards

not ALL OF the NewEngland States? The expense
would be trifng, and the service invaluable. II
should be done uniformly, and with care, and done
by the State. Not only the next town should be
given and the distance thereto but In frequent
Instances the larger and more distant city. The

together and plant guideboards wherever they are
needed, all over the country? s. s. PACKARD.
