They found the roads as a rule to be
good in the different states through
which their course COX them, and the
Maine roads compared favorably with
the others, except between Brunswick
and Augusta. They also found sew
eral places in Connecticut where the
roads were bad. MI. Fisher states
that his car ran very smoothly and
that the only troubles which they had
during the entire journey were few
punctures to the tires.
After leaving home Friday, May 26,
the first days run took them to Wor-
cester, Mass, from which city after
good nights rest they started 1of
New York, going as far as TarrytoWn'

found them in Washington, where they
remained four days. including Me-
mortal Day. Wednesday and Thurs

beautiful place.
The start for home was made FRI

the decisive battle OF the Civil War.
Mr.. Fisher expressed himself as much
pleased with the Prominence given

Mr.. Fisher said in speaking of the
trip that It was taken at the best time
of year, when the landscape every,

passed through miles and miles or
beautiful country, but that none of 1t
looked so beautiful to him as did the
good old State of Maine. Pennsyl-
