LONG ISLAND ROADS.

Long Island again comes 1ntO us own as a popular ground for short runs in the late fall. The Queens County roads are in excellent condf- ton and afford a fine gateway to oth- CT parts of Long Island. A one-day trip of approximately 130 miles is out lined below over mostly good roads Accommod dations are exceptionally good.
 After leaving Jamaica the Merrick Road is in fair condition to Rockville Center, from which point good road leads off to Long Beach. Motorists bound for points beyond through Freeport, Massapequa, Annityville and Babylon to Bay Shore will find far roads over the Merrick Road and the South Country Road. For one who wishes a return from this point Clin- ton Avenue and the Bay Shore road through Deer Park and Farmingdale. connecting with the Bethpage road, will furnish good conditions through Hampstead; thence over the Hemp stead Turnpike to Jamaica.
 To continue on for a one-day trip of Long Island the next few miles will be over a road which continues in the same rough condition that it has been all summer. This is from Bay Shore through IsHp to Sayville, where the road was contracted to be built but has never been finished. This stretch however, is entirely passable. Mac adam covered with gravel in fair con- idition then leads to Patchogue. Here turn north over a straight road, which was built in 1912, to Port Jefferson. The first part of this has become pitt ted as far Coran; it is then in good condition to Port Jefferson where turn westward is made for the return to New York. Main Street in this town, also a. hill which was formerly very difficult, have been improved so +I1a thence over fairly good macadam roads through Setauket and Stony Brook to St. James.
 With the exception of some short stretches of poor dirt road, fair con- ditions are found through Srnithtown to Commack. The North Side Turn pike from this point is in fairly good condition through sWoodvil1e to Jeri- cho, but beyond that point is a. decid- ed1y rough stretch of road on the Jeri- cho Turnpike which it is well to avoid. From Commack in order to enjoy the full delights of the North Shore of Long Island, at a yellow house after leaving Comnack turn right and go over the East Northport Road through East Northport to Northport. Here good roads wind along the shore toA Centerport and on to Huntin gton. The Great Neck section may also be visited over fine roads from Centerport or Huntington, affording beautiful
 beautiful views of Long Island Sound
 from the cliffs passing magnificent es-
 tates of some of the wealthy residents Cold Spring Harbor, Oyster Bay, Glen Cove and Sea Cliff will furnish l the most attractive route to Ros1yn;
 although the North Hampstead Turn
 pike which runs directly through East
 Norwich and Bullshead to Roslyn is in good condition. This Turnpike Is also in good condition through Man hasset. Little Neck and Bay Side to
 Flushing. Here Jackson Avenue,
 Flushing Avenue or the Shell Road
 may be chosen for a, return to the | Queensborough Bridge. From Bay
 Side, Willett's Point Road can be used
 for side trip through Whitestone and
 College Point and over the Causeway will make a circuit of another one of
 these small peninsulas on Long Island
 which affords fine roads
