ublish certain of the best trips
in the vicinity of Philadelphia, and it will be important to study this
map, in connection with those, to discover the best method of getting
out of the city in different directions. For example, to get out to
Fairmount Park from the public buildings, run north on Broad Street from
the buildings to Spring Garden Street, thence turning left, proceed to
or across the river--the Schuylkill. In either case, turn to the right
immediately before or after crossing, and the run is direct to the park.
By not crossing, and following the river up through the park, you will
come to the Wissahickon road. By crossing, and running out Belmont
Avenue, you get into Montgomery County, and so out of the city.
Germantown may be reached by the Wissahickon road or by keeping straight
to the northward on Broad Street until you reach Tioga Street. Turning
left into this, you soon run into the Chestnut Hill road, and can keep
to this until entering Germantown at School Lane. All through
Germantown, and out to the north and westward there are beautiful roads
of macadam that it is a pleasure to ride over.

Turning in the other direction, the rider, by bearing to the right into
Rising Sun Lane from Broad Street, will have a clear course out of
Philadelphia to the northeastward. By turning right into Lehigh Avenue,
and continuing over Belgian block pavement to Kensington Avenue, he will
run into Frankford, which is the way he has come from New York. The
roads out of Camden on the other side of the Delaware are clearly
marked. Crossing the Market Street ferry, you go south by Broadway or
north by Pea Shore road, and by studying the map the rider will see
where are the best roads for reaching Essington, Derby, Lansdown, and
Haverford on the southwest.
