under no other circumstances, nor "a
any other land. The country is gov
at its best, and the lovely homes.
beautiful flowers. stately trees, trim
and well-kept farms combine with the
bracing atmosphere TO make the trip
a continual cause for selScongratula-
ton and one to he long held in re-
membTance.
My friends and myself left Phila-
delphia at tea a. m. The car starts
from Camden, opposite the foot of
Market street.
Up hill and owf dale, in and out,
leVer and under, the car whirled along
Through Beverly Burlington and Bor-
l'dentow0, until one, p. M, when We
rolled into Trenton, N. J. There
we stepped INTO the New York car,
and in fifteen minutes were speeding
louf way eastward, through New
Brunswick, Bound Brook, Pisinfield,
Eizabeth and Newark, until $50 p.
i n., when we rolled into Jersey City,
tsind with only one change of cars.
Time, eight and one-half hours.
New York being a good place to
stop all night, our Journey was mot
Presumed until late on the following
day. Our route was via the Third
Avenue line, changing at 10th street,
Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Larch-
mont, Stamford, Darien and Westport
and bringing up at Bridgeport, Conn,
Ewkere we spent the night. Time for
the day, six hours.
The next day ON to New Haven,
thence to wallingford, Meriden,
Plainville, New Britain, hartford and
Springfield, Mass, where another
might was passed, dreaming of the
pheasant experiences of the day. Time
eight hours.
j We left Springfield on lovely
morning at nine O'Clock, having seats
with the motorman, and with the
whole landscape spread out before us
like a map On through the coun-
try we sped, changing at Palmer,
Ware, West BrooIfielS aand Spencer,
finally pulling up at Worcester,
where we entered upon the final stage
of our journey.
The road from Worcester to- Boston
is about as near perfecSion as troll
ley road car be and the whole dis
lance is covered in a little more than
two hours. At times the speed
must approach twenty-five or thirty
miles an hour but there is no sense
exhiliration and delight The road
bed is perfect, the cars heavy and the
motormen know their business all oil
which circumstances combine to add
to the enjoyment of the occasion and
to render this winding ap of this mos
interesting journey not the least at
tractiye part of it.
The last day occupied seven and q
half hours, making the total time
thirty hours. !. distance. $50 miles;
expense, $4.25.
This expenditure, of course, does
not include meals and lodging, bu
room and breakfast can be had at any

by he wayside for meals, although thi.
can be done should the traveller pre-
fer it.
This trip is within the n4ach OF any
one who has few days and few
dollars to spare; and why more PEG
, tDle do not take it is a mystery to
me especially as leading features are
the entire absence of any discomfort
whatever and the almost mniversal
courtesy that is extended TO travel
ers on the line. THIS makes the triu
a sarticularly enjoyable one for wo-
mef and one that can be taken by
them without any escort with perfect
propriety, safety and comfort.
By making Hartford the saaeping
place for the second day, the trip can
be taken in three days, but it might
prove TOO strenuous to some, and IN
q trip hike the one described above
time should not be made part of the
general economy. No one who takes
lit will ever regret it,
