the salt meadows, and finally rides over the Hackensack River.
There is but one fork before he reaches the outskirts of Rutherford,
which is at Washington Grove. He should keep to the Paterson Plank Road,
which is the turn to the left. The road from Homestead Station to the
road-house at Washington Grove is macadamized and in reasonably good
condition. From the Washington Grove road-house, between Rutherford and
Carlstadt, the road is perfectly straight and level, but is in poorer
condition, and somewhat sandy. As the rider passes out of Carlstadt he
crosses the railroad track, runs a few hundred yards until the road
takes a sharp curve to the right northward, almost to the Passaic River.
Here he should turn sharply to the left and cross the Passaic. This is a
somewhat difficult turn, and he should be careful not to keep on to the
north towards Garfield Post-office. Crossing the river, he soon arrives
at a fork, where he should turn to the right, the left-hand turn being
Main Street, which, though the more direct route to Passaic, is not so
good a road. This fork is reached just before entering Passaic.

Passing through Passaic, the run is direct to the cemetery on the
Passaic River at the outskirts of Paterson. Keep to this road until you
run into Market Street. At the bridge turn sharp left and pass through
the city of Paterson on Market Street to its end. Then turn to the right
up a short grade to the bridge that crosses the Passaic again. The
rider should not cross the bridge, but should turn sharp to the left and
follow the car tracks through West Paterson Station to Little Falls.
This stretch of road is in fine condition, is macadamized and level.
From Little Falls it is a one-mile run to Singac. Immediately on leaving
Singac and crossing the track the rider comes to cross roads. He should
keep on the main road, skirting around with the river on the right, over
a hilly country, by a hotel, into Fairfield; or if he chooses, he may
turn to the left just before reaching Fairfield into Pier Lane. But if
he wishes to make a stop in Fairfield, he must keep on to the hotel in
the centre of the town. This stretch of country is a rolling macadamized
road in reasonably good condition. From Fairfield, or from the junction
of the main road and Pier Lane, the road southward to Franklin
Post-office is in poorer condition and clay, and is much more hilly. At
the junction of the roads in Franklin the rider should inquire for
