Start from Copley Square. Go through Dartmouth; turn to left onto Commonwealth Avenue, turn to right at Massachusetts Avenue, and cross Harvard Bridge over the Charles River to Cambridgeport. Keep on direct road, and at Windsor Street turn to the right, passing car tracks, and continuing to Webster Avenue, there turn to left, and keep straight road to Somerville. Turn to the right onto Prospect Street, go up small hill, cross railroad. Turn to right onto Washington Street, and follow it to Medford Street; there turn to left, and following Medford Street to Central Square, there turn to right on Cross Street, and to the right onto Mystic Avenue. At Middlesex Avenue turn to left, and follow direct road through Wellington to Pleasant Street, Malden. (So far road very good, macadam most of the distance, small hills, and good level stretches.) Continue through Highland Avenue to Clifton Street, where turn to right, and follow it until you come to tracks of the B. & M. R. R. Then turn to right over the tracks onto Washington Street, and take second turn on left. Then turn to left on to Main Street, and follow direct way to Melrose. (Small hills, but good macadam road.) Keep to right at Green Street, to the right at Franklin Street, bearing to right into Saugus by Main Street. Turn to right, cross tracks of B. & M., then keep to left into East Saugus. At watering-trough, beyond which keep to left out Boston Street over Tower Hill, and at horse-car station turn to right to Common Street, there turn to left, and to right onto Market Street. Turn to left at Broad Street, and to right at New Washington Street, and cross the long narrow isthmus, with Lynn Beach on the left and Lynn Harbor on the right. In passing through Lynn, considerable paving has to be ridden over. This is more than counterbalanced by the fine level road from Lynn to Nahant. It is one of the very best in the State, a refreshing ride on a hot day, water either side. Keep to left and follow main road, making a circuit of the end of the peninsula, which is high and rocky. There are excellent views both here and at Bass Point. Tri-Mountain House is a good place for a fish dinner.

A VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY.
There were three wise men of Gotham
Who went to sea in a bowl.
What did they find the earth around
Before they reached their goal?
