of exploring the beauties of one of the
finest riding districts in the country The
romantic Wissahickon, winding its way
through the Montgomery county hills and
finally reaching the Schuylkill through a
narrow gorge in Paramount Park, affords
opportunities galore to the cycling student
of nature and the camera fiend. The
famous Wissahickon drive follows its banks
from the mouth far into the most famous
farming country in the world. The accom-
panying picture was taken near Valley
Green, in Paramount Park.
In all directions from the Quaker city
radiate fine pike roads to the various
larger towns. These will afford unlimited
opportunities to the members of the push
to crafty their scorching proclivities and
at the same time explore the country sur

gives good idea Of the famous Chester
pike at Glenolden.

is highly probable that after the big fix
ture the crackajacks instead of remaining
with the national circuit, will go their sew
eral ways in search of big purses that are
hung up at Independent meets throughout
the country. The fact that the national
meet will offer the first perhaps the only,
opportunity this year to- see all the pro-
fessional and amateur cfackajacks of the
country gathered together in a grand
struggle for valuable prizes will in nowise
detract from its interest indeed. this fact
alone will probably attract thousands of
out-of-towners to the city during the last
two days of the meet
