MOTOR TOUR
 ON CAPE COD
{ Automobile Club of America.

cry, the old memories that still per meate the interesting towns along the
 route, and last, but not least, the thoroughly satisfactory hotel accom-
 modations, combine to render trip
 over Cape Cod one of the most enjoy able that could be taken. Our route covers less than 300 miles from Provi- dence. the suggested starting point, to the finish of the trip at Boston.
 Having made the pleasant city of Providence, R. l., the logical nights stopping place, an early start is sug- gested in order to reach Fairhaven for lunch. We cross over to East Provi- dence, the route passing through Se- konk, Barneyvi11e and Swansea Cen ter and crossing the long bridge over the Taunton River to Fall River.
 The exit from Fall River leads along the causeway across Watuppa Pond to Westport Factory and New Bedford, and oyer the bridge to Fairhaven, a handsome residential town 8 miles from Providence, and notable as the birthplace of the late H. H. Rogers. During his lifetime, MT. Rogers pre- sented several beautiful buildings to his home town, including the very fine Unitarian church.
 For the next twenty miles the route follows the famous Buzzards Bay coast and affords many engaging gIimpses of the water and some sp1en- did marine views across the Bay. Ma rion is only one of the many charming and a1luring summer resorts we pass through as we circle the Bay to the town of Buzzards Bay, from which the new Cape Cod Canal cuts across the isthrnus to Sagannore.
 Crossing the canal by the fine, new bridge, the route passes near tGray Gables the seaside home of the late President Cleveland, and runs south along the coast through Monument =
 mouth. This spot, 89 miles from Fairhaven and 74 from Providence, is an ideal stopping place and the center for. several delightful short trips and excursions.
 Eastward from Falmouth the route follows closely the southern coast ofe the Cape and passes inturn the queer Iy named villages, sWaQuoit, Quashnek and Santuit, where a prety run may be made to Cotuit and back by Bay View Road to Marston's Mills. Oster- vile, Centrevil1e, a pleasant resort, and Craigvile are passed to Hyannis and the road hsaveFseS a succession of interesting seaside villages and opne breezy country to Chatham, the most easterly point on the route. Hereafter the road runs north by Pleasant Bay to Orleans, whence the narrow last strip of the Cape is tra- versed over a perfect road through
 Eastman and Brook Village to We'll fleet, near which is erected one of the most powerful ''vvireless'' stations in the world. A mileage of 61 from
 Falmouth suggests this spot as the nights stop, leaving for the next day l a run of 29 miles to the most mortimer Iy point on the Cape through the ru-
 ra1 villages of Truro and North Truro, arriving in time for lunch at historic Provincetown.s The afternoon may be pleasantly
 spent wandering over this quaint old town, which was the first landing place of the Pilgrim fathers on this continent A wonderful view of the Cape. is to be had from the top of the Pilgrim Tower, which was erected a
 few years ago to commemorate the 1 signing of the compact on board the l rMaydower," which provided the form of government for the new colony. The gray-haided guardian of the. l tower with reverence one might expect of the attendants at one Of the great cathedraIs in Europe, points out the places of interest as the land
 scape is spread like a map before one's eyes.
 Leaving Provincetown. return to welldeet and thence to Orleans where a right turn leads along the north coast of the Cape. The road, circ1fng the southern shore of the splendid bay. runs through East Brewster, Brews- -
 bluffs overlooking the broad waters of Cape Cod, to Yarmouth, Cummaquid and BarnstabIe. After passing Sand wich the canal is crossed in north er1y direction at Sagamore and the road continues through Manomet to-
 that- city of historic memories, Ply mouth, 65 miles from We1ldeet.
 After the run over Cape Cad, Ply mouth would provide a pleasant rest
 ing place for several days with much of interest to see. including Plymouth Rock, should the motorist have sufh- cient time at his command.
 After leaving Plymouth, the route 1 traverses Kingston, Duxbury, Marsh 1 field and Scituate Center. At Cohas- set, a pleasant side run may be made i to Nantasket and along the narrow
 isthmus to Hull. returning to the main
 route at Bingham From H1ngham the picturesoue south shore of Boston
 Bay is followed and the city entered
 through it's suburbs. Quincy, East Mil
