The map this week is perhaps one of the best in New Jersey which can be
taken by a New-Yorker without too long a journey before reaching the
starting-point. It not only extends to Paterson, which is a good
eighteen-mile ride, and, with the return trip, makes a good half-day
run, but it extends to Pine Brook, twenty-nine miles altogether, which
is the first stage on the tour from New York to Wilkesbarre,
Pennsylvania, and thence on to Buffalo.

The rider should take the Fourteenth Street ferry from New York to
Hoboken, and his first object then is to get to the Boulevard. The road
to the Boulevard is direct from the ferry, with a sharp turn to the
right a few minutes after leaving the ferry-house, where the railroad is
crossed, and the rider then comes into the Boulevard. After a long
gradual ascent, he should take the first prominent turn to the left,
leaving the Boulevard on the right, and going northeast to the cemetery,
still uphill. The road circles this, and keeping always to the left the
rider comes into the Paterson Plank Road, crosses several tracks at
Homestead Station, with the Scheutzen Park on the right, then runs
across
