From Benefit Street and Olney Street, Providence, to the Boston Common
is forty-seven miles, and this is the distance to be run on the sixth
and last stage of the two-Hundred-and-Fifty-eight-mile trip from New
York to Boston. Wherever you may put up in Providence, it is well to
make for Benefit Street first on starting for Boston. Thence proceed,
and turn into Olney Street, following this to East Avenue, when the run
to Pawtucket is direct, and it is a capital four-mile run at that. The
rider will do well, after crossing the river, to bear to the right, and,
crossing the Massachusetts border, run into Lebanon Mills, just on the
Massachusetts side. Or to be more explicit, after leaving Pawtucket turn
to the left, cross a stone bridge, bear to the left immediately after
crossing, then take the next left fork, and finally bear to the right at
the third fork, and make for Lebanon Mills direct. Take Cottage Street
out of Lebanon, and turn to the right at the cemetery, and follow the
main road to Hebronville. Thence the road is clear through Dodgeville
across the track to Attleborough. From Attleborough, crossing the river,
you take the left turn at Fourth Street, and run direct, though by a
somewhat roundabout road, to West Mansfield, which is a good twenty
miles from Providence. From West Mansfield run northward, keep to the
right, cross the track, and run into Mansfield Junction. Crossing
tracks, run on to East Foxborough, and thence leaving Sharon on the
westward, proceed to East Sharon. The rider should take care to turn to
the right at the railroad round-house near Massapoag Pond, and avoid
running on into Sharon. From Cobb's Tavern at East Sharon the run to
Canton is direct and very good, as is also the road from Canton to
Ponkapog, though you should take care to take the right fork a
