Says Mayer % New York
today there are no less than 5000
hiking clubs In Greater New York.
with q total membership Of more than
q quarter Of q million men and wom-
On, who are keeping themselves in the
PINK Of condition and experiencing the
real Joy Of living by getting regularly
cut into the open Country with no 9TH
Or means Of locomotion than their God
given legs
The city Of New York has taken ON
cial notice OF the movement. On three
occasions recently Mayor Hylan has
congratulated the boys and girls Of the
public schools upon their enthusiasm
IN taking up the new sport Of hiking.
In his dedication OF the great new pub
lie playground In the Bronx the other
day Mayor Hylan extolled the athletic
tendencies Of the boys and girls and
impressed upon them that there was
no better or more profitable way In
which they could pass their vacations
and utilize their holidays than by the
excursions into field and forest Of their
walking clubs. He gave the same
message TO the Amateur Athletic I'm
