Relay. 3D. miles out. we found the
road up the steep Grade into the town
CLOSED on account of repairs. man
at the crossing waved us to the left.
and after crossing the tracks ana
after proceeding up the road alongside
of the railroad tracks, turned to the
right at 31.3 miles over a fairly good
road bordering the outskirts of Relay.
Resurfacing Roadway.
The road is rolling in character. and
eliminates the steep grade which Is
usually encountered through the town
over the other road. AT 80 miles we
turned to the left at the edge of Relay
onto new resurfaced highway. which
led directly into Wilkens avenue en-
trance of Baltimore. Within snort
time the same type of road will extend
through the town between the points
nov blocked. thus giving continuous
highway of the finest type of macadam,
in place of the WORKOUT stretches
which have existed for so long past
AT 334 miles we turned sharply to
/ the right into Wilkens avenue and FOL
lowed this thoroughfare into Fulton
avenue where we turned to the left at
asa miles Continuing out Fulton ave-
nue.. we turned into North avenue at
4O.3 miles. and at 43.0 again turned to
the right into North Broadway. Pass
ing Johns Hopkins Hospital on the
left. turned to the left couple OF
SQUARES beyond into Fayette street ana
thence into Philadelphia avenue This
is known as the Old Philadelphia road,
and continues on to Havre de Grace.
We found this road in good rondi-
ton but very wavy in places.
Turning to the right at 18th street,
400 miles. we continued on to High
land post office, where we crossed the
railroad tracks at 47.0 miles. bearing
to the left and passing through this
village. The going through the town
was somewhat rough, as II Is for the
great part composed of cobbiestones
We followed this main thoroughfare
alongside the trolley tracks until we
reac hed Colgate, another small village,
491 miles out, where we turned to the
right over a shell road and headed for
our destination, passing Evergreen
cemetery on the right.
Continuing over the shell road we
bore to the left at 51.1 miles, passing
through Poplar Heights. where the
odometer read 53.4 miles. Keeping
straight ahead we took the left fork
at 54.S miles. ignoring the road sign
''SparroNs Point which indicates the
right fork should be taken if motor
ing to the point. Another short run of
about two miles and we turned sharply
to the left. leaving the main road and
passing through stretch of dense
woods. Just after entering the woods
we crossed the trolley tracks and came
into an open gateway, ON the post of
which read the words. Private Road"
We kept on through the wooded stretch
and after run of mile pulled into
BAY Shore at 12:40 O'Clock. The dis
lance was $50 miles, consuming less
than three hours for the run. The trip
proved delightful one and every
member of the party was ready for
dinner. After taking a dip in the salt
water and enjoying the cool breezes
which swept the shore it was sug-
Sested that a good run would be TO
Ridgeville, Md. for supper At 3:35
o'clock we Were once more aboard the
machine and were headed in a westerly
direction The sun was shining
brightly and the weather all that could
be desired
