After this year's comparatively mild
and'open winter the roads are in con-
dition for touring earlier this spring
than usual.
Many motorists have the idea, none-
relly formed from one experience
with a bottomlese country road, that
April, the mud-month, is not a desir-
able tithe for touring. That these ob-
jectionable conditions are not univer-
sally prevalent during April is attest-
ed by the Bureau of Tours, which is
recommending several different week-
througb; run two-tenths ofamile fur-
ther and turn right at church con-
tinuing on across a bridge through
Westporthfl miles. Continue on for
iexactly four- miles, where turn right
with trolley under railroad, and at
once turn left in Southport, 51 miles.
A mile and a half beyond turn right
at library, observing; caution for a
sharp‘turn to the left a little way
beyond. Continue ahead with the
trolley into Fairlie-Id avenue, shortly
taking left fork with trolley to Main
street in Bridgeport, 57 miles.
Bridgeport to Waterbury.
Leaving Bridgeport keep straight
ahead east to Fairiield avenue, run-
ning under a viaduct and across two
bridges: at once turn left into Con-
necticut avenue, and a littleover a
end tours in \Vestchester county, New
Jersey and on Long Island. On each i
of these, continuous hard-surfaced'
roads are found throughout and the,
hotel accommodations for luncheon
and“over-night stops are of the best.
it run that can be recommended by
the Buteau of Tours of the Automo~
bile Club of America for April tour-
ing is one that follows the Old Bos-
ton Post Road as far as Bridgeport
and then turns north along the
Naughtuck Valley to Waterbury
Newtown, Daubury, Ridgeileld, Bed:
ford, Armonk, White Plains, Central
avenue and through Van Cortlandt
Park to Broadway.
This tour presents good macadam
load practically all the way. There
are good hotels at convenient inter-
vals and garages where. one is most
likely to need them.
Here is the Route.
Neither of the usual exits from
.New York (,‘ity to the Boston Post
Road can be used in its entirety at
the present time, owing to road cott-
siruction on Jbrotne avenue and the
Grand Concourse. .
The proper route to follow at this
time, therefore, is to run north from
- the Club House on Eight avenue,
through Columbus Circle and along
Central I’m-k West to 110th street.
Here turn right and shortly turn left
into Seventhhvenue which follow to
the 145th street bridge across the
‘ arlem river. After crossing the
bridge continue on E. 149th street

_ street, where turn right at garage
and run under “L" to Washington
street; here turn left and shortly

Parkway. Shortly after passing the
Zoological Gardens turn left into the
White Plains road leaving the Park-
way. Almost at once, however, bear

recently been improved and is now in

to attend the court sessions at Bed-
ford. The old Court House, where
rude justice was administered in the
days when this country was still in
its infancy, still stands, although the
old court records were removed to.

ancient hotel, built upwards of. two
hundred years ago, is another relic
which serves to link the strenuous
present with a picturesque, historic
past.
Leaving Bedford, continue in a gen-
eral southeasteriy direction to a
dead end in Armonk, 72 miles. Here
turn sharply to the loft and follow
the road which runs along the new
