The return from Pittsheld to New York
can easily be made on the second day. but
| to get tho greatest enjoyment from the
very beautiful scenery Of this region several
days should be spent in lcsurcly moto~
exploration OF its charming byways. Tho
direct return from Pittsfeld, however. can
! be made through the IIousatOnic Valley by
way OF Great Darlington, Sheffield an
| Ashley Falls. At Canaan the road leaves
the HOusatonic and turns west into Nor
| folk, where. as he comes TO the Common. the
| driver swings off 10 the right into South
| Norfolk. Further on come TOrrlnRton.
| Thomaston and Waterbury. while beyond
| them. as the route runs southwark through
| the Naugatuck Valley, there are passed In
succession Seymour, Derby and Stratfor'
| Beyond this the motorist drives his cor
along the Sound shore route through Bridge
port. Norwalk and Greenwich. where tie
state line is crossed and the New Yorker
once more is in his home state at Port
Chester. From there the old Boston Post

automobile travel is Long Island, cspeclall'
delightful in tho summer time, owing to
the excellent roads along both the north
and south shores and the countless warm
weather hostcries that are open at that
time OF the year. An easy route 10 Long
Island is over the greensboro Bridge to
Long Island City and thence TO Flushing.
From there TO Bayside is a short run
through an attractive suburban residence
district. while beyond Bayside the North
Hampstead Turnpike stretches away
through Douglaston. Little Neck, Manhas-
set and Roslyn In this nclghborhood lie
the big estates Of many wealthy New YorI..
ers. such as Bradley Martin. w. *. Van

lyn the road follows northward along

the last named place will take the autost
across the Sound to Rye Beach and oak
land Beach, on the Connecticut shore.
Leaving Sea Cliff the traveller runs
through Glen Cove. oyster Bay. colo
Spring, Huntington and Northport. All
along the line Of this route the rolling couu-
tryside IS varied with forest and farm
land while frequent glimpses Of the Sound
uOll'u Will sdlllHS vessels ana motor craft
are obtained.
At Northport the route turns south and
then east again passing through Smithtown
St James, the all-the-year suburban re-
treat OF Mayor Gaynor, and Port jefferson.

longer run over the splendid roads TO
Greenport. Lake Ronkonkoma or Montauk

starting point from which 10 cross over to
the south shore Of the island Coming into
Patchogue. and from there turning west. he
comes 10 Isiip, Babylon. Massapeoua. Rock

and Garden City. Then on to Mlneola,
Jamaica. Richmond Hill and along tbs
