The last stage of the run from New York to Philadelphia is given in this
week's map. The distance is thirty-one miles, and the road, good in the
main, is greatly helped by being generally a little down grade. On
leaving Trenton by Warren Street the rider will soon come to the
Delaware River, which he should cross by the Warren Street Bridge. He
then runs into Morrisville on the other side. Immediately after
crossing, turn left to the Bristol turnpike, and on reaching this turn
to the right into it. The run is direct then to Tullytown and thence to
Bristol. Between Tullytown and Bristol the run is along the river, and
at times the road is quite good, especially if rain has not made the
reddish-yellow earth soggy and muddy. For a good deal of the distance
from Trenton to Bristol--a distance of nine miles or more--you will do
well to take the side path, which here, as elsewhere over such generally
level country as New Jersey and this part of Pennsylvania, is likely to
be good.

From Bristol turn to the right at the hotel and run on to the cemetery,
where you should take the left fork, which will carry you direct to
Frankford-on-Pike, a distance of fifteen miles. From here the run to the
outskirts of Philadelphia is but two miles. On this run from Bristol you
pass by Bridgewater, Eddington, Holmesburg, near Tacony, and into
Frankford, and there is but one hill of any note, which is just before
entering Holmesburg. Indeed, this is not a bad hill compared with some
of the Western Massachusetts hills, and some of those on the New
York-Albany route. Entering Philadelphia you run along Lehigh Avenue,
until reaching Broad Street, where you turn left into the latter, and
run on to the public buildings in the centre of the city.

Philadelphia is a magnificent city for bicyclists, and we propose next
week to give a map of all the asphalted and macadamized streets within
the city limits, which in the coming weeks will be followed by short
routes in the vic
