 The Harrij Shoe 
 
 FOR IVOmEN 
 
 Is not a new shoe. It is not 
 an experiment. Twenty- 
 five years have been 
 devoted to perfect- 
 ing it. We have 
 spared no expense 
 in securing the fin- 
 est materials and 
 the services of the 
 
 most skilled 
 workmen. We 
 
 unhesitatingly as- 
 sert that today we 
 offer the women of 
 America a product 
 equal to any sold for 
 six dollars.^^^l^l* 
 
 The Harris Shoe is 
 not a machine sewed 
 shoe. 
 
 Every pair is in a hand- 
 
 sewed turn or welt and 
 
 every pair is made at 
 our own factory. Gen- 
 uine Harris Shoes 
 can be bought only 
 of us either by mail 
 or at our store. 
 By dealing directly 
 with the wearers, 
 we save them all 
 t h e middlemen's 
 profits. In beauty 
 of design and vari- 
 ety of patterns our 
 present stock is un- 
 equalled anywhere. It

Introduction. 
 
 WITH thanks for the generous patronage of the 
 past, the pubhsher of Derrah's Street Rail- 
 way Guide for Eastern Massachusetts 
 presents the fourth edition with a hope that it will meet 
 with continued favor. The vast extent of the electric 
 railway system of Eastern Massachusetts has rendered 
 such a guide necessary to those who travel on the 
 trolley cars for business or pleasure. Each year the 
 Guide has grown, and in the present volume, in re- 
 sponse to a general demand, new features have been 
 embodied such as time-tables of the different suburban 
 railways, etc. The descriptive matter, which was of 
 especial interest to those planning trolley trips, show- 
 ing what might be seen from the cars of the different 
 line^, has been carefully revised, and much that is 
 new has been incorporated. It is believed also that 
 the new pictures and the enlarged map, which shows 
 the existing and projected railways, will be appre- 
 ciated, while all the old features, which have made 
 the Guide popular in the past, have been retained. 
 The Guide now tells how to reach every point on 
 the electric lines radiating from the city of Boston, 
 the distance, rates of fare, running time, time-tables, 
 names of street railways, Boston night car service, 
 where to take cars for different points from Boston, 
 how to recover articles left in the cars, etc. 
 
8 DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 Not only on account of its completeness is this 
 Guide believed to have a special value, but the pub- 
 lication may be regarded as official and authentic, 
 the proofs having been corrected and revised by the 
 officials of the various street railways described. The 
 success of former editions is largely due to this fact, 
 and the publisher wishes to thank all the street rail- 
 way officials and others who have done so much to 
 make this work popular among the patrons of the 
 trolley. 
 
 In response to a general demand, the time-tables 
 of the different suburban railway companies repre- 
 sented in this Guide are published this year for the 
 first time. It would obviously be impossible to pub- 
 lish the running time of all cars on all the lines, even 
 if it were desirable. The cars of the Boston Ele- 
 vated Railway Company run so frequently on all 
 lines that no attempt is made to give the schedules 
 of that road, except for the night cars — a feature 
 which has been found popular in past editions. 
 
 On the suburban roads the running time of the 
 first car, together with the number of cars per hour, 
 or the general running schedule, is given. This will 
 enable any one to approximate the connections 
 which may be made at any given point. While the 
 time-tables have been revised by the officials of the 
 different railway companies themselves, and are 
 therefore the official time-tables, some mistakes may 
 occur, owing to necessary changes, etc., but it is be- 
 lieved that they are substantially correct and may be 
 relied upon, although the street railway companies or 
 the author will not be held responsible for any 
 changes, mistakes or delays that may occur.

Around Boston by Trolley. 
 
 IN no better way can one see the sights of Bos- 
 ton than by a trip on the electiic cars of the 
 Boston Elevated Raihvay Company. For the 
 small sum of ten cents it is possible to visit any part 
 of the city and many of the suburbs. Some of the 
 rides are long, and by making changes at the free 
 transfer stations of the company, at Park street in the 
 Subway, at Dudley Street, Roxbury Crossing, Broad- 
 way in South Boston, Harvard Square and Craigie 
 Bridge in Cambridge or Sullivan Square in Charles- 
 town, a great variety of trips is possible for this small 
 sum. The electric car rides are becoming more pop- 
 ular every year, as a greater number of people come 
 to know the pleasure of travelling in this fashion, 
 while trolley trips by parties on special cars, form a 
 delightful method of combining amusenient and in- 
 struction. It is impossible, in the limits of a few pages, 
 to give more than a brief outline of what may be seen 
 on these trolley trips on the cars of the Boston Ele- 
 vated Railway. Reference to the tables on Page 22 
 and following, will show where one may take a car 
 for any point in the city. P^or the benefit of those who 
 wish to make these cheapest of all excursions, or who 
 wish to show visiting friends the city, the following 
 round trips, covering all the principal lines in the 
 city, have been sketched.

 along the shore to the Headhouse and Marine Pier 
 which runs far out into Dorchester Bay, Walking 
 back to the car line, on the left is the end of the Strand- 
 v/ay, the great boulevard to connect Marine Park with 
 Franklin Park, and here a Bay View car maybe taken 
 for the return. The car runs along the shore of the 
 Bay around the hill known as Dorchester Heights, 
 fortified by Washington in the Siege of Boston. 
 Across the Bay on the left is the City Sewage Pump- 
 ing Station. The ride to Boston is across Fort Point 
 Channel, and through another part of the business 
 district.

 tion and straight out Dorchester avenue, through 
 South Boston, and with gHmpses of the Bay on the 
 left and dwelHngs on both sides of the street, to Field's 
 Corner. From here the ride to Milton is through a 
 pretty residence district, while one going to Neponset 
 may transfer at Park Street, Dorchester, and go out 
 through another residence district, with some open 
 country, to the terminus at the Neponset River, where 
 connection is made with Quincy & Boston cars. Re- 
 turning from Milton, at Ashmont Street, one may 
 walk up the left a few blocks, and take a Washington 
 street car, going through Old Dorchester, past the 
 old Congregational Church on the right, and then the 
 Walter Baker Sanitarium, on a hill, affording a 
 fine view of the harbor before running on to Grove 
 Hall. Then the route is down Warren street, through 
 the Roxbury residence district, and down Washington 
 Street to Dover, turning ofT to go into the Subway, or 
 running straight down through the retail district to 
 Franklin Street. 
 
 FRANKLIN PARK. Take any Franklin Park 
 car in the Subway, or any car that goes to Dudley 
 Street transfer station. The Franklin Park Warren 
 Street car goes out to Dover Street, then crosses over 
 to Washington, passing the Cathedral of the Holy 
 Cross on the left, and at Eustis Street the burying 
 ground where are interred Governor Dudley and John 
 Eliot, the Indian Apostle. Passing Dudley street, the 
 ride up Warren Street is past fine residences and by 
 the Roxbury High School on the left, and at Elm 
 Hill avenue past the handsome Unitarian Church on 
 the right. At Grove Hall is another free transfer sta- 
 tion. The Park car passes the Consumptives' Home

 Columbia Road. Here, for twenty-five cents, car- 
 riages may be taken for a ride around the park, pass- 
 ing the Refectory Building on an elevation at the left, 
 the golf links beyond, through the Valley Gates, 
 around the Playstead, past the Overlook Building, 
 then near Schoolmaster Hill, where Emerson once 
 taught, then through the beautiful Wilderness and

 emerging at the Arborway, from which one may go 
 back to the city by another line of cars. The car- 
 riages continue back to the starting point, however, 
 past a chain of lakes and by the other side of the golf 
 course and Abbottswood to the Refectory. In return- 
 ing, by changing at Grove Hall or Dudley street, al- 
 most any desired part of the city may be reached for 
 a five-cent fare. The Park offers a succession of de- 
 lightful landscapes, dales, ponds, ledges and woods 
 alternating, and the whole ride is one of the pleasant- 
 est to be had in Boston.

 FOREST HILLS. Taking a Forest Hills car 
 in the Subway or transferring to one at Dudley street, 
 the ride beyond Dudley street is past the steep 
 "Tommy's Rocks"' on the left, the Notre Dame Acad- 
 emy on the right and the New England Hospital for 
 Women and Children, and to the terminus at Forest 
 Hills, where the entrance to Franklin Park is at the 
 left and the Arnold Arboretum at the right. Walking 
 up under the railroad viaduct on the right, one enters 
 the Arborway, and following this past a part of the 
 Arboretum, comes to Chester street. A short walk 
 down this brings one to the Jamaica Plain car, which 
 returns to Boston with Jamaica Pond on the left at 
 Pond street, and after going under the railroad tracks 
 following the viaduct on the left toward Boston.

Norumbega and About There. 
 
 OST Bostonians 
 who travel on 
 the electric cars 
 for pleasure seek some 
 ride which combines beau- 
 tiful scenery along the route 
 with ample means for recreation at the 
 end of the journey. In this respect the advantages 
 offered by the trip to Norumbega Park fulfill all 
 requiremetns. The ride to Norumbega takes one 
 through the finest residence portions of Boston, 
 Brookline and " The Newtons," as the dozen little 
 villages in the city of Newton are collectively called. 
 The frequent and rapid service on this double- 
 tracked line, and the low cost of the trip are some 
 of the reasons why the Norumbega journey is so 
 popular. 
 
 The cars start from the Subway, running via the 
 Public Garden and Copley Square and are marked 
 "Newton Boulevard." They also bear signs an- 
 nouncing that they connect with the cars of the 
 Commonwealth Avenue Street Railway Company 
 for Norumbega Park. The route is out Beacon 
 Street, through the Back Bay and the beautiful

 residence district of Brookline, as described elsewhere 
 under "Around Boston by Trolley," to the 
 
 RESERVOIR, where the passenger keeps on up 
 the hill to Commonwealth Avenue. The car runs past 
 Greenwood Cemetery on the left, and as the terminus 
 of the line is reached, at the Newton Boundary, St. 
 John's Roman Catholic Ecclesiastical Institution is 
 seen, off to the right. From this hill is obtained a 
 
 fine view of the hand- 
 some residences which 
 crown Corey Hill in 
 Brookline, back on the 
 right, and on the left 
 are the large distribu- 
 ting reservoirs of the 
 Boston Water Works, 
 twin lakes connected by 
 a silver band and sur- 
 rounded by beautiful 
 shrubbery. Changing 
 at the terminus to one 
 of the cars of the Com- 
 monwealth Ave, Street 
 Railway Company, the most beautiful part of 
 the journey through the Newtons begins. As the 
 car climbs Waban Hill, on the left there is a 
 splendid view of the Chestnut Hill reservoir, while 
 on the right are the high service and low service 
 reservoirs of the Newton Water Works. The view 
 from Waban Hill, on a summer day, is an in- 
 spiring one. Looking backward the summits of 
 the Brookline hills are seen, here and there a great 
 apartment house or splendid residence rising like a

 castle, while in the nearer distance the Reservoir 
 sparkles in its emerald bowl of shrubbery and lawn. 
 Across the Reservoir is the Boston Pumping Station. 
 Away ahead stretch the Newtons, the many villages 
 nestling among the trees from which peep here and 
 there slender church spires. Southward is spread our 
 a grand panorama of hills and dales, fields and forests. 
 Leaving the green woods on the left the car plunges 
 down a long incline, with an exhilarating slide down 
 the hill to Centre Street, 
 
 NEWTON CENTRE, passing the Newton Cen- 
 tre Athletic Grounds on the right. Continuing on 
 through the village, still running on Commonweath 
 Avenue boulevard, the scenery assumes less of a 
 metropolitan aspect. The car goes across an arm of 
 Bullough's Pond, and past Bullough's Pond Park, 
 just beyond, a stop being made at Walnut Street to 
 connect with the cars of the Newton & Boston Elec- 
 tric Railway, which run to Newtonville, Newton 
 Upper Falls, Highlandville and Needham, the three 
 lines last named taking one to Echo Bridge in the 
 Hemlock Gorge Reservation, one of the finest of the 
 smaller state parks. At the junction there is a com- 
 modious and attractive street railway waiting station. 
 This region is in the exact centre of Newton and 
 within a few minutes of four steam railway stations 
 at Newton Centre, West Newton, Newtonville and 
 Newton Highlands, respectively. Bullough's Pond 
 Park is one of Newton's newest park enterprises and 
 is to be completed this season. It is in one of the 
 most picturesque localities of the " Garden City," and 
 the city has so dredged and improved the pond and 
 watercourse that the locality will necessarily be one

 DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 of the most healthful. Substantially all the lands 
 about Bullough's Pond Park are owned by the New- 
 ton Land and Improvment Company, and many fine 
 residences have been erected here, while others are 
 contemplated. The Newton Land and Improvement 
 Company still retains the most, beautiful sites on the 
 Park, on Commonwealth Avenue and Walnut Street, 
 as well as on numerous other streets overlooking the 
 park and Commonwealth Avenue. (Sec Page 74.) 
 This is one of the few large tracts in the vicinity of 
 Boston (about 125 acres) which is so restricted that 
 none but a desirable class of structures will be erected 
 on it. It is provided not only with a network of 
 steam and electric roads, but with all modern im- 
 provements, and is a most desirable locality. The 
 Commonvv^ealth Avenue Street Railway runs from 
 this point westerly over West Newton Heights, 
 along the boulevard. At Chestnut Street there are 
 groves on both sides and as the car goes on through 
 sylvan scenery, it passes a little stile on the left 
 marked " Brseburn Golf Club," where lovers of the 
 ancient game may often be seen playing. Soon 
 Washington Street, 
 
 AUBURNDALE, is reached, where connection 
 may be made with cars for Newton Lower Falls, 
 Wellesley and points beyond, on the left, while on 
 the right the cars run to West Newton and Waltham 
 or Newtonville. At the left, just beyond Washington 
 Street, is the famous Woodland Park Hotel, with its 
 spacious and well-kept grounds and golf links. Here 
 coaching parties often run out from the City for din- 
 ners at the hotel. Continuing on the Commonwealth 
 Avenue line the car soon comes to the terminus at 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE.

 NORUMBEGA PARK, which is controlled by 
 the enterprising Commonwealth Avenue Street Rail- 
 wa)' Company. This place combines all the attract- 
 ive features of a public park, while its freedom from 
 objectionable characters and its admirable manage- 
 ment make it more exclusive than any public ground. 
 Opened two years ago, it has from the first attracted 
 a superior class of patrons, owing to its excellent 
 management, while it possesses two distinct" advan-

 tages over other parks in its nearness to the million 
 people of Greater Boston and its picturesque location 
 on the beautiful Charles River. Planned and laid out 
 by an experienced landscape gardener, the natural 
 advantages of the place have been utilized in full. 
 The Commonwealth Avenue Street Railway cars 
 discharge passengers within the grounds, entering a 
 picturesque two-story pavilion, the lower floor of 
 which is utilized for offices, car storage, etc., while 
 the upper floor is on a level with the park. With one 
 
8o 
 
 DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 part open on the park side for use in pleasant weather, 
 the upper floor of the pavihon has a dining hall with 
 accommodations for 350 people. The luncheons 
 and dinners served here are well known to Boston 
 tourists and all who visit the park may be assured 
 that the comfort of the inner man will be well looked 
 after. 
 
 Norumbega Park itself comprises about twelve 
 acres of ground, most of which is at an elevation of 
 
 OPEN AIR THEATRE 
 
 thirty or thirty-five feet above the river, on which 
 the park has a frontage of 2,200 feet. In addition to 
 the pavilion, there is a boathouse near the entrance, 
 the finest structure of the kind to be found on the 
 Charles River. Here is a large fleet of rowboats, 
 canoes and launches, and in addition to the stabling 
 for boats there are ample lockers and toilet rooms. 
 Another building is a bicycle house, accommodating 
 hundreds of wheels, with a repair shop attached. 
 Scattered about the grounds are many little pavilions 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. gl 
 
 where ladies may sit, free from annoyance, while their 
 children play in clean sand piles provided for their 
 special entertainment. On the highest ground in 
 the park is a band stand, where summer evening 
 concerts are given by some of the best bands in the 
 state. Another feature is the open-air theatre, with 
 1,500 free seats, where a high-class stage entertain- 
 ment is provided every afternoon and evening except 
 Sunday, in summer. Down in the woods, along the 
 river bank, is a deer park and the largest zoological 
 collection in New England, with animals not to be 
 found in any other open park in this country. In 
 one part of the park is an electric fountain, where, 
 every evening, myriad jets of water spring into the 
 air to fall in a shower of prismatic gems. The usual 
 park attractions, rustic seats, swings, merry-go-rounds, 
 donkey carriages, etc., are provided. 
 
 With all that has been done, however, the natural 
 beauties of the park have been admirably conserved. 
 Here it is that the Charles River broadens out and 
 runs into delightful nooks and eddies where the 
 canoeist loves to linger. Groves of stately trees 
 arise on either side, and the glimpses of the river 
 through the woods in the park attract many amateur 
 photographers. An easy row up the river brings 
 one to Riverside, where are the boat houses of the 
 Newton Boat Club, the country home of the Boston 
 Athletic Association and the grounds of the Asso- 
 ciated Athletic Clubs. Down stream there are many 
 delightful views at every turn, with the park as the 
 crowning feature, on the right. Across the river, in 
 Weston is the historic Norumbega Tower, from which 
 the park takes its name. This grey stone tower was 
 erected to commemorate the discovery, on this spot,

 DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 of relics of the followers of Lief Ericksen and Thor- 
 wald, the Norseman, who founded the colony of 
 Norumbega here about the year lOOO. For all these 
 points of interest Norumbega is the natural starting 
 point of tourists. The experience of the past year 
 has shown the management the value of making this 
 street railway park a place where ladies and children 
 may go with perfect safety, and the public has learned 
 that no street railway trip around Boston is more 
 delightful than that to Norumbega. 
 
 NORUMBEGA TOWER 
 
Through the Newtons. 
 
 Echo Bridge. 
 
 ONE of the most popular trolley trips from Bos- 
 ton is that to Hemlock Gorge Reservation and 
 Echo Bridge at Newton Upper Falls, reached 
 by the Newton & Boston Street Railway. One may 
 go out from Boston to Newtonville, or by a longer 
 trip through Cambridge and Watertown, past Har- 
 vard College and Mount Auburn Cemetery. The 
 Boston cars stop at Watertown Square, from which a 
 branch line runs to the United States Arsenal, passing 
 the great Brighton Union Stock Market. 
 
 Other branches run to Waltham and Newton. 
 Going to Echo Bridge, the car crosses Charles River 
 near what is said to have been the home of the Norse- 
 men who discovered America before Columbus. On 
 the right of the bridge is a tablet which bears the in- 
 scription : 
 
 "OUTLOOK UPON THE STONE DAM 
 
 AND STONE-WALLED 
 
 DOCKS AND WHARVES OF NORUMBEGA, 
 
 THE SEAPORT OF 
 
 THE NORTHMEN IN VINLAND." 
 
84 DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 On the left the tablet reads : 
 
 "THE OLD BRIDGE BY THE MILL 
 
 CROSSED CHARLES RIVER NEAR THIS SPOT 
 
 AS EARLY AS 1861." 
 
 The tablets were put up by Professor Eben N. Hors- 
 ford, the distinguished antiquarian scholar. Passing, 
 on Watertown street, an old house where General 
 Washington once stopped, the car runs through Non- 
 antum, where a change may be made for Waltham 
 (via Bemis), or Newton. Running past Silver 
 Lake. 
 
 NEWTONVILLE is entered. The car passes 
 the Adams School, the Central Congregational 
 Church and goes over the Boston & Albany railroad 
 tracks. Beyond, it goes past the Methodist Episcopal 
 Church on the left, the Newton Club on the right, then 
 the Clafiin School on the left and the Newton High 
 School beyond, on the other side. Just beyond this is 
 "The Elms," the home of Ex-Governor Claflin. A 
 few minutes later one comes to the Newton Boulevard 
 Waiting Station, and then passing Newton Cemetery 
 and many pretty houses, reaches 
 
 NEWTON HIGHLANDS. Here the car turns 
 to the right and runs past the Congregational 
 Church and the Grammar School, and after a couple 
 of turns runs through the woods and across country 
 to 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 85 
 
 NEWTON UPPER FALLS. At this place 
 the car makes a wide sweep around three streets, the 
 view from High street being" extensive and beautiful. 
 Leaving the car and going down the Charles River 
 banks, one comes to Echo Bridge, the aqueduct which 
 carries the Boston water supply across the Charles 
 River. Near the water, at the end of the bridge, there 
 is a famous repeating echo. The State park reserva-

 tion is across the river. The street car line continues 
 from Newton Upper Falls past the Newton Silk Mills, 
 crosses the river above the falls, and runs between the 
 Charles River on the left and the high aqueduct on the 
 right, to Highlandville. From here it runs through 
 fields and woods, climbing a hill from which is a fine 
 view, before coming to Needham, the terminus of the 
 line, connecting with lines for Boston, Wellesley and 
 beyond. 
 
Through the Newtons. 
 
 Prospect Hill. 
 
 ANOTHER ride on the electric cars through 
 another part of the Newtons, to Prospect 
 Hill, in Waltham, returning through Cam- 
 bridge, takes the pleasure-seeker through a great 
 diversity of scenery to the highest elevation near 
 Boston that can be reached by electric car. The 
 car marked Commonwealth avenue, Brighton and 
 Newton may be taken in the subway or at 
 Copley square in Boston, the route running through 
 the Back Bay residence district Commonwealth 
 avenue, Allston and Brighton to Nonantum Square, 
 Newton by the route described under Boston trips. 
 At 
 
 NEWTON a change is made to the cars of the 
 Newton Street Railway Company, for Newtonville, 
 West Newton and Waltham. A line also runs from 
 here to Watertown. The car takeii on this trip goes 
 past Mount Ida and enters 
 
 NEWTONVILLE, where one line runs to New- 
 ton Upper Falls, while the car for Prospect Hill 
 passes the new Masonic Temple and goes on through 
 a pretty part of the "Garden City," to

 WEST NEWTON. Here a line runs to Au- 
 hurndale, so that one may go by this way to Norum- 
 bega Park. The City Hall, an unpretentious wooden 
 building on the right, is passed on the way to 
 
 WALTHAM, As the line is neared the Charles 
 River is seen on the left, and the car passes the 
 factory of the Waltham Manufacturing Company. 
 Crossing the River just beyond, the Boston Man- 
 ufacturing Company's Mills, the first in America 
 to make cotton 
 cloth direct from 
 the raw material, 
 are seen. Here 
 the late General 
 Banks was once 
 employed as a 
 bobbin boy. At 
 this point the 
 Fitchburg Rail- 
 road tracks are 
 crossed and one 
 comes to Wal- 
 tham Common, and continues up Main street passing 
 the Banks' homestead and stops at the foot of Pros- 
 pect Hill, which the city of Waltham has set apart 
 as a public ground under the name of 
 
 GENERAL BANKS' HOMESTEAD. 
 
 PROSPECT HILL PARK. A walk for fifteen 
 minutes, at an easy pace, brings one to the sum- 
 mit of Prospect Hill, the view from which is the 
 finest in eastern Massachusetts. BelOw is a fine view 
 of the winding Charles River and its valley, with the 
 world-famous American Waltham Watch Company's

 factory along its banks. Beginning in the west with 
 noble Mount Wachusett in Princeton, as the eye 
 turns to the north it views the round knob of 
 Watatick in Ashburnham, then comes to Mount 
 Monadnock, in Jaffrey, N. H., then come the Kid- 
 der or Peterboro Mountains, beautiful with their dou- 
 ble summits ; beyond and to the north will be seen 
 the Lyndeborough Mountains, with the Crotchet 
 Mountain peak in Francestown, N. H., above the 
 
 top of the range, 
 and then is fur- 
 ther to the right 
 the stony pile in 
 New Boston, N. 
 H., known as Joe 
 English Hill. Still 
 to the right are the 
 twin peaks of Un- 
 conoonnc Moun- 
 tains in Golfstown, 
 N. H., and with 
 an ordinary opera 
 glass, one may see 
 westerly flank of the West IJnconoonuc, Mount 
 Kearsarge, in Central New Hampshire. 
 
 Leaving the hill and going back to Waltham 
 Common a change is made, the car running first 
 through the business district of Waltham, and thence, 
 into the best residence section, along a well shaded 
 street. Grove Hill Cemetery is passed on the right, 
 and then the car runs into

A South Country Trip. 
 
 SOUTH of Boston lies a country rich alike in 
 natural scenery and historic associations. 
 West Roxbury and Roslindale, two beautiful 
 suburbs of Boston, and the pretty towns of Dedham, 
 Norwood and Walpole are reached by taking the Bos- 
 ton Elevated cars marked Forest Hills, at which point 
 direct connection is made with cars of the West 
 
 Roxbury & Roslindale 
 Street Railway Com- 
 pany for a delightful 
 trip through town and 
 country. Cars marked 
 "Forest Hills, Dedham, 
 Norwood and EastWal- 
 pole"run through with- 
 out change. 
 
 At Forest Hills, on 
 the left, are the en- 
 trances to Franklin 
 Park and Forest Hills 
 Cemetery, and on .the 
 right is the fine viaduct 
 of the New York, New

 tion of the Boston Water Works, and the high service 
 tower and observatory, which has an elevation of 375 
 feet above the level of the sea, and from which one of 
 the finest views in the vicinity of Boston is to be had. 
 One can look seaward for twenty-five miles; westerly 
 to Mount Monadnock, some sixty-three miles ; south-

 of the Metropolitan Park System, through which the 
 car runs for nearly a mile, bringing within easy access 
 of Boston this extensive wooded park, excellent views 
 being afforded of the Blue Hills in Milton, Turtle 
 Pond and the Neponset Valley. On every side are 
 charming sylvan glimpses. Passing the pretty 
 Mother Brook, on the edge of the Reservation, the 
 car enters

 beSfinS. It is historical BUILDINQ, DEDHAM. 
 
 well to stop over a car in Dedham, for this is one of 
 the finest of the old New England colonial towns. 
 A convenient and well-kept waiting-room at this point 
 is at the disposal of patrons of both roads. Opposite 
 the waiting-room is the Memorial Hall, and just 
 above this is the Historical Building, in which are 
 placed many interesting relics of early Dedham. A 
 visit well repays one, for an atmosphere of the past per- 
 vades the town 
 which is over 
 2 lO years old 
 and has much 
 of historic in-

 still stands the old Powder House, erected in the 
 seventeenth century, when every town was required to 
 keep on hand a stock of powder for the use of its citi- 
 zens in repulsing invading hostile forces. 
 
 From the waiting station, in another direction, a 
 walk of half a mile brings one to the historic Fair- 
 banks House, built in the year 1636 by Jonathan Fair- 
 banks, and maintained in its original form by the 
 
 OLD FAIRBANKS HOUSE. 
 
 Daughters of the Revolution. There are many other 
 historical points to be reached by short walks or drives 
 in Dedham, and the new part of the town is pictur- 
 esque and inviting. 
 
 Resuming the journey, on the Norfolk Central 
 trolley car, the way leads to Islington, past Westwood 
 Park. Entertainments of many kinds are furnished 
 here in summer, and posters on the street cars will 
 inform passengers of the different attractions. The 
 links of the Norfolk Golf Club are easily reached from 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE.

 here. Continuing on, one comes to Norwood, a 
 pretty rural village in which the old tavern, the hand- 
 some Unitarian Church, and the great Norwood Press 
 
 OLD TAVERN, NORWOOD. 
 
 are among the sights to attract the attention of visi- 
 tors. From Norwood the cars continue on to

 erected in honor of the late T. W. Bird, known widely 
 
 WESTWOOD PARK, BROOK SCENE.

 as the "Sage of Walpole," Here are located the paper 
 mills of Bird & Company, Hollingsworth & Vose, and 
 other manufacturers. Many enjoyable walks may be 
 taken, if one desires to remain over a car or two. 
 From here the cars run on to the terminus of the line 
 at Walpole, a pretty New England manufacturing vil- 
 lage, and a railroad junction point. 
 
 The return journey to Dedham is made over the 
 same route, but from there to Boston other scenery 
 may' be enjoyed by going over the West Roxbury 
 division of the West Roxbury & Roslindale Street 
 Railway, taking a transfer at Grove street to East 
 Dedham. Many pretty views of river scenery may be 
 had. Here also one may see the stone which marks 
 the site of the first mill and dam on the Charles River, 
 built in 1640. Taking the car on its return journey to 
 Forest Hills, one goes by the West Roxbury division. 
 
 The time occupied by the trip from Forest Hills 
 and return, as here outlined, is about three hours, 
 and the fares are only thirty cents. The ride is 
 through city, town and country, with ever-varying 
 scenery delighting the passenger. Of course a whole 
 day may profitably be taken for the trip, stopping 
 over to visit other points of interest in the country 
 traversed. 
 
 . Another South County trip by the Needham & 
 Boston Street Railway Co. may be taken after the 
 early summer. It takes the traveler from Forest 
 Hills over the lines of the West Roxbury & Ros- 
 lindale Street Railway as far as Spring Street, then 
 up the Charles River to Needham, where connec- 
 tions can be made with the cars for Newton, Well- 
 esley, Natick, Framingham, Marlboro and Worcester. 
 The cars turn off from the Dedham line at Spring

 Street, passing near the Caledonian Club, the boat 
 houses and the free public baths. It is only a short 
 ride to Dedham Island Hill, from which a fine view is 
 had of Needham, Newton, Brooklinc and the valley 
 of the Charles below. Going down the hill to the 
 valley, the Charles is followed for nearly a mile, the 
 car running along broad meadows, across which are 
 beautiful views. The car passes in sight of " Karl- 
 stein," the handsome country place of Samuel D. 
 Warren, with its golf links and famous polo grounds. 
 Then the way leads through the new and attractive 
 village of Oakhurst (see page 60), where the car runs 
 on a wide boulevard and thence through Needham, 
 to the terminus of the line at Needham Centre. 
 
 From Norwood a line has just been completed 
 southward to Walpole, Foxboro, Mansfield, Attleboro 
 or Providence ; a change is made at Norwood Centre 
 to the car of the Norfolk Southern Street Railway 
 Company. The route runs past the Alorrill Memorial 
 Library, a handsome granite building on the right, 
 and then follows along the new state highway now ui 
 course of construction. Running on toward East 
 Walpole, there is another view of the Blue Hills in 
 Milton, surmounted by its weather observatory, and 
 the car enters 
 
 "WALPOLE. This town is a pretty one, with a 
 Common in the centre, around which are grouped 
 magnificent oak and elm trees. Passing the Town 
 Hall on the left, the trees on either side of the street 
 form an archway of verdure through which the car 
 runs for some distance. Another turn is made to the 
 left, and the car runs on Washington street into the 
 village of South Walpole. Before entering the village

 the Water Tower which supplies water to this dis- 
 trict is seen looming up in the distance. From here 
 a branch line runs northerly to connect with the line 
 of the Norfolk Central Street Railway at East Wal- 
 pole, the journey to which has already been described. 
 Tn the centre of the town are the remains of the two 
 old taverns which were once famous hostelries, rival 
 half-way houses on the stage road from Boston to 
 Providence before the days of the steam railroad and 
 the trolley car. The old Polly Tavern was on the 
 right, and Fuller's Tavern on the left. Passing by 
 these relics of the olden time, the car leaves the old 
 post road for the last time, and runs into the town of 
 
 FOXBORO. This is a picturesque town with 
 a pleasant park and a handsome granite Memorial 
 Building erected in honor of its dead soldiers, and used 
 as a public library. The town is engaged in the manu- 
 facture of straw hats and bonnets. The car passes first 
 through North Foxboro and then through West Fox- 
 boro, where a branch line running off to the right 
 takes one to Lake Pearl. This is much patronized 
 by picnic parties and pleasure-seekers in summer. 
 Running through Foxboro another double row of 
 fine old trees arches the roadway. Emerging into 
 the open country, there is a run for some distance be- 
 tween farm fields before one enters 
 
 MANSFIELD, the terminus of the line. Mans- 
 field is the centre of a farming region, and has several 
 small factories, with diversified industries. Here con- 
 nections are made with electric cars for Brockton, 
 Taunton, Norton, Attlcboro and Providence. 
 
A South Country Trip II. 
 
 On the Norfolk Suburban. 
 
 IN addition to the line previously mentioned, 
 the cars of the Norfolk Suburban Street Railway 
 run from the Forest Hills terminus of the Bos- 
 ton Elevated Railway Company, southward to Ded- 
 ham. This line runs along Washington street, with 
 the Arnold Arboretum on the right and Forest Hills 
 Cemetery on the left. After leaving these, the ride is 
 through a pleasant valley, with Mount Hope Ceme- 
 tery off to the left, and soon Hyde Park township is 
 entered at Clarendon Hills. Then a more distinc- 
 tively rural country is seen, and keeping in sight the 
 wooded range of hills on the right all the way, the 
 car rvms into 
 
 HYDE PARK CENTRE. Here connections 
 are made with the cars for Readville and Mattapan. 
 The Readville branch runs due south, entering the 
 town which was the camp of the Massachusetts vol- 
 unteers in the Civil War, and now famous for its trot- 
 ting track, where the New England Breeders' Asso- 
 ciation holds its meetings. From Readville there is 
 a splendid near view of the Blue Hills. The Dedham 
 car from Hyde Park turns to the right, crossing the 
 tracks of the New York, New Haven & Hartford 
 Railroad, and entering the residence district known 
 
 99 
 
lOo DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 as Sunnyside. On the left are the fine Harlow and 
 Brainerd residences, and on the right the Cotter place. 
 In the distance is seen the home of Robert Blaikie, 
 the woolen manufacturer. 
 
 Passing the woolen mill, the power house and 
 other plants in the manufacturing district, the car 
 leaves on the right the road to Fairview Cemetery, 
 beyond which is the Stony Brook Reservation of the 
 Metropolitan Park System. Crossing Cotton Mill 
 Pond, a widening of Mother Brook, there is a fine 
 view of the Blue Hills, which are still blue in spite of 
 their nearness, and on the top of Great Blue Hill may 
 be seen the weather observatory and kite-flying sta- 
 tion. Mother Brook is interesting from the fact that 
 it rises in one stream, the Charles River, and flows 
 into another, the Neponset, really making Boston an 
 island. 
 
 Turning to the right into Readville street, the car 
 runs by the Cochrane Print Works, situated in the 
 valley below the highway. Passing other mills, it 
 then comes into East Dcdham Square, just beyond 
 which is the Avery School building. Then the trav- 
 eler goes by the famous Chelsea Pottery Works and 
 a large wool-scouring mill, and then passing the large 
 stone Catholic Church, runs by picturesque old houses 
 and under the tracks of the New York, New Haven & 
 Hartford Railroad, to come to the terminus in Me- 
 morial Square, Dedham. Here connections may be 
 made for West Roxbury, Norwood, Walpole, Med- 
 field and East Walpole. 
 
 MATTAPAN and Milton Lower Mills are 
 reached from Hyde Park by making a transfer to the 
 line which runs to the left on River street. Leaving 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. Id 
 
 the business centre of Hyde Park, passing the stone 
 edifice of Christ Church on the right, and going by 
 the fountain and band stand in Hyde Park Square, the 
 car runs on East River street between comfortable 
 residences with well-kept grounds. The Butler 
 School is passed on the left, and on the right ts a new 
 residence district, on what was once the handsome 
 Summer estate. 
 
 Just beyond, on the same side, are the Tileston 
 and Hollingsv/orth "Mattapan Mills," where fine 
 writing paper is made. Passing the entrance to the 
 new settlement of Rugby on the left before crossing 
 the tracks of the Midland Division of the New Haven 
 Railroad, the plant of the Boston Gossamer Rubber 
 Works is seen on the right, with its well-kept grounds 
 and flower beds. Going by the Colonial residence of 
 John P. Ray on the left, the new residence district of 
 Holmfield is seen on the opposite side. Just beyond 
 is the dividing line between Boston and Hyde Park, 
 marked by an old house, part of which is in the city, 
 and part in the town. A short run brings the traveler 
 to 
 
 MATTAPAN, at the junction of Blue Hill ave- 
 nue, Norfolk street and Brushy Hill Road, known as 
 Mattapan Square. Here is the railroad station on the 
 right, and crossing the Neponset River bridge just 
 beyond, on the right, a short walk brings one into an 
 avenue of noble old elms, with fine views on every 
 side. A walk on Blue Hill avenue for half a mile 
 brings one to Walk Hill street, where cars of the Bos- 
 ton Elevated Railway may be taken for the city pass- 
 ing the Home for Aged Hebrews and Franklin Park 
 before reaching Grove Hall transfer station. 
 
I02 DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 The Street railway line from Mattapan continues 
 down East River street, going past a starch factory 
 and an old cotton mill on the right before entering 
 Milton Lower Mills. The car also passes the great 
 Baker Chocolate Mills before reaching the terminus 
 of the lirfpTwhere connection may be made with the 
 Boston Hevated Railway cars for the city, via Field's 
 Corner, 
 
 Through Blue Hill Reservation. 
 
 THE greatest of the state park reservations is the 
 Blue Hill Reservation in Milton. Heretofore 
 it has been reached only with difficulty, but the 
 line of the Boston, Milton & Brockton Street Railway, 
 now under construction and to be opened about July 
 I, brings this magnificent stretch of country within 
 easy reach of the city. The Reservation includes for- 
 ests, fields, meadows, hills, valleys, swamps, rivers ; in 
 fact an almost endless diversity of natural scenery 
 within its borders, which include more than five thou- 
 sand acres. To reach it, one should take a Milton 
 Lower Mills car of the Boston Elevated Railway, go- 
 ing over the route described under the Boston trolley 
 trips. 
 
 At the Neponset River a change is made to the 
 Boston. Milton & Brockton car, which runs through 
 the town of Milton in a wide reserved way, with a 
 good macadam road on either side of the tracks. Mil- 
 ton is famed for its well kept residences of wealthy 
 gentlemen, and the various styles of architecture, with 
 wide lawns running down from the residences to the 
 roadway, make a pleasing picture. The car touches 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. IO3 
 
 the Blue Hill Reservation on the left, after leaving 
 the town, and soon plunges into it, running for nearly 
 two miles through the beautiful sylvan scenery of the 
 great state park. The ride is between Chickatawbut 
 Hill on the left and Hancock Hill on the right. Be- 
 yond Hancock Hill is Great Blue Hill, with its weath- 
 er observatory and the famous government kite-flying 
 station. It can be reached from the car line by a walk 
 along the woodland paths. Leaving the Reservation 
 the car runs into Randolph, Great Pond being ofT to 
 the left before the car enters the village, where con- 
 nections may be made with the Brockton Street Rail- 
 way cars for Highland Park, Brockton and points 
 beyond. 
 
 Transfers on the Milton cars at the corner of 
 Readsville road and Randolph avenue in Milton al- 
 low passengers to take a branch line running off to 
 East Milton. At this point connections may be made 
 with the Quincy S^ Boston Street Railway for Quincy 
 and Nantasket Beach, and points described under 
 "Along the South Shore," or "Into the Old Colony." 
 
A South Country Trip III. 
 
 On the Norfolk "Western. 
 
 IT will well repay anyone who makes the trolley trip 
 to Dedham to continue the journey over the line 
 of the Norfolk Western Street Railway to West- 
 wood and Medfield, by changing at Memorial Square, 
 from either the cars of the West Roxbury & Roslin- 
 dale, the Norfolk Suburban or the Norfolk Central 
 Street Railway lines. The cars of the Norfolk 
 Western run through High street, in Dedham, pass- 
 ing the pillar erected by the Sons of Liberty and the 
 splendid new granite Norfolk County Court House. 
 After running through the settled part of the town, 
 the car leaves the pretty street to enter pleasant 
 groves, through which it runs for some distance. 
 Emerging into the open, on the left, near White's 
 Pond, is the old Town Pound, and running on, the 
 traveler finds himself upon a hill in the centre of 
 the new town of 
 
 ^VESTWOOD, recently set off from Dedham 
 as a separate town. From the elevation, the Blue 
 Hills of Milton are clearly seen, off to the left, while 
 below is spread out an entrancing panorama of scen- 
 ery in the valley and the meadows. Westwood is an 
 exceedingly pretty town, with an abundant growth of 
 shade trees. On Main street, just before entering the 
 town, the car passes the old Colburn House built 
 
 104 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 105 
 
 before 1700. Off to the left may be seen Fox Hill, 
 upon which are the summer homes of many of the 
 well-known families of Boston. Continuing on, still 
 in the town of Westwood, one passes, to the left, the 
 Reservoir and Pumping Station belonging to the 
 town of Norwood. After leaving the town of 
 Westwood, on the right, the car passes a hem- 
 lock tree known as the "witch tree" from the 
 fact that Moll Pitcher once slept under its boughs. 
 Here is one of the most picturesque waiting stations 
 
 COLBURN HOUSE, WESTWOOO 
 
 to be found on all the network of street railways in 
 Eastern Massachusetts. It wis built of rough field 
 stone collected in the neighborhood, and has an old- 
 fashioned fireplace of the same material inside. 
 Here the passenger may obtain refreshments before 
 continuing his journey. The ride from Westood is 
 through a typical New England farming country with 
 the old-fashioned farmhouses and ample barns as a 
 feature of the landscape. It is only a short run from 
 the waiting station to King Philip's Park, so called, 
 because it is situated on historic ground in the town

 of Medfield, once a part of the domain of the famous 
 Indian sachem. The park consists of some two 
 hundred acres, recently acquired by the street rail- 
 way company, and beautifully adapted to the wants 
 of the pleasure- seeker. The tract is well shaded, 
 and a brook winds its way through the park over the 
 rocks and ledges. The company put a large force 
 of men at work in the park, clearing up the under- 
 brush, this spring, and it is expected that by the first 
 
 HiLiH bTHLtr, wl:>iwuuu. 
 
 of July the place will be open to the public. An 
 artificial pond of more than sixty acres in extent will 
 be made in the park, and on the edge of this a chute 
 will be erected. Throughout the park the best of 
 the natural features will be preserved, but there 
 will be special attractions, such as a dancing pa- 
 vilion, swings, rustic seats and refreshment stands, 
 especial attention being paid to clambakes in the 
 summer time. After leaving the park there is 
 another run through more rural country, and then 
 the traveler comes to 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 107 
 
 MEDFIELD, with its fine residences, each with 
 its generous lawn in front, and shaded by large trees. 
 As the car enters the town one may see on the right, 
 a weather-beaten house said to be the only one left 
 in Medfield after the massacre and burning of the 
 town in King Philip's War. On this trip, instead of 
 using the common way, the company has acquired a 
 right of way beside the main road, nearly the entire 
 distance, so that it will be possible to run these cars 
 much faster than those on most street railway lines. 
 At present, the terminus is near the centre of the 
 town, but by the first of August it is expected to have 
 the line extended as far as Medway, where connec- 
 tions may be made with Milford, Hopedale, etc., 
 allowing the passenger to return to Boston by an 
 entirely different route. It will be difficult to find a 
 more pleasant street railway trip in any part of New 
 England, and the section of the country traversed is 
 such that the traveler will obtain not only a succes- 
 sion of delightful views, but will gain an excellent 
 idea of the industries, farms and pretty inland towns 
 for which Massachusetts is noted.

 Trolley Excursions 
 
On the Famous North Shore. 
 
 No part of Massachusetts is more famous for its 
 scenic beauty than that lying along the coast of 
 Massachusetts Bay, from Boston to the tip end 
 of Cape Ann, the summer home of many wealthy resi- 
 dents of Eastern cities and the Riviera of New Eng- 
 land, — the North Shore. It embraces within its limits 
 many towns and cities famous for the deeds of their 
 citizens in the early days of our country. But while 
 the towns and cities have grown, a new population has 
 sprung up in this section, a population of dwellers in 
 the cities who come here to find beautiful homes amid 
 the finest of natural surroundings. A series of sum- 
 mer resorts has been developed, and the electric rail- 
 way has bound all these together, so that one may 
 journey by trolley all the way from Boston to the end 
 of the Cape, with many pleasant side trips from Lynn, 
 Salem and Beverly. 
 
 Starting from Boston in the Subway at Scollay, 
 Adams or Haymarket Squares or at the North Union 
 Station on a Lynn & Boston car, the ride is first 
 through Charlestown, then across the Mystic and 
 through Chelsea and Revere on the route described 
 under Boston trips in going to Revere Beach Reser- 
 vation. Listead, however, of going to the beach, 
 the Lynn & Boston car keeps on Broadway and pass-

 of Revere Beach, it goes over the salt marshes 
 of Saugus town. Here the tide water fills the inlets 
 of the marsh, across which on the right, may be seen 
 the shining waters of the Bay. Going over the

 Wherever one may go, shoe manufacturing estab- 
 lishments, for which Lynn is world-famous, may be 
 seen. The branch lines running out of Lynn bring in 
 communication with the city the neighboring places of 
 historic interest, the city and state parks, the meadows 
 and marshes of the lowlands, the groves and views of 
 the hills and the rocky shores and sandy beaches of 
 the coast. One of the pleasantest of these side trips is 
 that to

 LYNN WOODS, connecting with lines for 
 Wakefield, Reading and Lowell. Taking a Lynnhurst 
 car, going first through the business and manufactur- 
 ing districts, and then through the residence part of 
 the city, the traveler passes the Reservoir and Pump- 
 ing Station and Breed's Pond, on the left, before ar- 
 riving -at the main entrance to Lynn Woods. This is 
 a part of the Metropolitan Park System, and the larg- 
 est pleasure ground, in proportion to population, ad- 
 joining any city in the country. The park has many

 one may v/ell spend 
 a day here. 
 
 Within the limits 
 of Lynn Woods are 
 four beautiful sheets 
 of water Glen-Lewis, 
 Walden, Breed's and 
 Birch Ponds, and 
 miles of cool walks, 
 which make this a favorite picnic ground. Among the 
 popular attractions of the park is famous Dungeon 
 Rock, which tradition says was an ancient haunt of 
 pirates. Here is a cave painfully wrought in the hard 
 porphyry by Hiram Marble, a hermit who sought 
 for gold, claiming to work under spiritual guidance. 
 
 From Lynn Woods cars may be taken on to Wake- 
 field, through North Saugus. To those wishing to re- 
 turn to Lynn another way, awalk across to Glen-Lewis 
 Pond will bring one to the Lynn cars running back by 
 Wyoma Lake, Wyoma Village and Chestnut Street.

 grounds. At Bartholomew Pond, a short walk from 
 the electric line, is Ship Rock, the largest boulder in 
 this part of the coontry, and much visited by geolo- 
 gists and others. Going through South Peabody and 
 passing Flax Pond, the car enters Peabody, once a 
 part of Danvers, and named in honor of George Pea-

 the Piclcering Mansion, built in 1649, is at 18 Broad 
 street, and the house visited by Lafayette in 1784, and 
 by Washington in 1789, is at 138 Federal street. 
 Hawthorne's birthplace was at 21 Union street, and the 
 House of the Seven Gables is at 64 Turner street. Gal- 
 lows Hill, where those convicted of witchcraft were 
 executed, is at the head of Hanson street.

 Leaving historic Salem to resume the journey on 
 the main line to Gloucester and beyond, a change is 
 made to a Beverly car, which runs down Essex street. 
 In Derby Square, on the right, is the Salem Town 
 Hall and Market, built in 1816, and just beyond is the 
 East India Marine Hall and Peabody Academy of 
 Science, open to visitors free on week-days and con- 
 taining, besides a large collection of scientific speci- 
 mens, many interesting models of naval architecture. 
 
 A little further on, on the left, are three buildings, 
 the Cadet Hall, the Salem Athenaeum, containing a 
 large library, and the Essex Institute, with its valuable 
 historical collections. Back of the Athenaeum is the 
 first church erected in New England, of which Roger 
 Williams was pastor. From here a short and pleasant 
 ride brings one to Essex Bridge, with beautiful views 
 east and west. Here Washington left his carriage to 
 enjoy the views, when on his way from Salem to Bev- 
 erly to visit Hon. George Cabot. Crossing the Bridge 
 the car enters 
 
 BEVERLY. This is largely a summer town, 
 with many fine avenues leading down to the ocean on 
 the right, or stretching back into inviting groves on 
 the left. It is a more quiet and less pretentious sum- 
 mer resort than some others on the North Shore, but 
 it is none the less beautiful. A branch line runs from 
 here to 
 
 BEVERLY COVE, the oldest of the summer 
 resorts along this part of the country, famed alike for 
 the beauty of its scenery and its fine residences. The 
 electric line winds through Hale street, along the 
 shore and then through shady groves. From a point

 near the terminus of the Hne an unsurpassed sea view 
 is obtained. 
 
 WENHAM and ASBURY GROVE are also 
 reached by a branch Hne from Beverly, the trip 
 being an especially pleasant one. There are great es- 
 tates with handsome country houses, and little farm- 
 houses with shoe shops attached, reminders of the 
 days when shoes were finished in the homes of the

 workers, before the time of the great factories. Wen- 
 ham Lake, a beautiful sheet of water, is passed, and 
 after going near the golf links of the Myopia Hunt 
 Club the car comes to Wenham and Hamilton rail- 
 way station, a short distance from this fashionable 
 North Shore country club. It is a short ride to 
 Asbury Grove, noted as a summer resort and as a 
 place of the annual Methodist camp meetings. 
 
 The car from Salem to Beverly stops on Cabot

 street in Beverly, running up alongside the car of the 
 Gloucester, Essex & Beverly Street Railway Com- 
 pany. Past the Briscoe School on the right this car 
 goes, and then runs for a mile through streets with 
 giant elms forming walls on either side, or arches 
 overhead. Then the car comes out into open country, 
 with granite outcrops on the hills, while the slopes 
 are covered with green, and between them are mead- 
 ows with waves of grass on their surfaces. At Lake. 
 Shore avenue the Gloucester branch of the Boston & 
 Maine Railroad is crossed and then the car goes rush- 
 ing along a pretty country road where the wild flow- 
 ers brush the running-boards, and past well-kept farm- 
 houses, to come to Turtle Hill Park, with its observa- 
 tory on a rocky hill at the right. 
 
 Close to the woods, laden with the fragrance of 
 their pine carpet, the car runs on and through Mont- 
 serrat, a little summer settlement, to cross an arm of 
 Longham meadow, with rocky Bald Hill rising on the 
 right. Passing Thompson's Corner the traveler goes 
 through the town of Wenham for a few minutes and 
 then enters Hamilton. Going by Four Corners, at 
 Woodbury's Crossing the railroad is again crossed, 
 and then the car climbs a series of low hills, only to 
 dash down again. Whether the hills be green with 
 the fresh grass of spring, or sere in autumn, they are 
 always beautiful, patches of running hemlock dotting 
 the green or brown. At Crooked Lane Hill a branch 
 line runs off to the northward to 
 
 IPS^VICH. The ride is through a pretty farm- 
 ing country, and coming to the old town, which was 
 settled in 1633, a^ter the Penobscot Indians had laid 
 waste the Indian village which stood there, the car 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 1 23 
 
 crosses Ipswich River. The town site was purchased 
 for $100 by John Winthrop. Steamers run from here 
 to Newbury, and plans are under way for the construc- 
 tion of an electric line through the town of Rowley on 
 to connect with Newburyport, Haverhill and Law- 
 rence. 
 
 Continuing from Crooked Lane Hill on the main 
 line, the Gloucester car passes the town line into 
 Essex, with Chebacco Lake, a popular resort for fish- 
 ermen, ofif to the right. At Centennial Grove Junc- 
 tion a line runs otT to the right to the Grove, where 
 convenient picnic grounds are to be found. Then the 
 car goes on to enter 
 
 ESSEX FALLS, one of the most charming 
 rural villages in all New England. After passing the 
 power house of the electric railway company, on the 
 right, the car comes to a picturesque old stone bridge 
 over a little stream, while there is a ford above the 
 bridge, through which horse^ may be driven to be 
 watered. The car runs along Martin street into Essex, 
 which has a handsome Town Hall and Library Build- 
 ing, the gift of the late T, O. H. P. Burnham of Bos- 
 ton, who once kept the Old South Bookstore. The 
 town also has many pretty summer houses of wealthy 
 Bostonians. 
 
 Coming over the hills of Essex, the salt breezes 
 blow in from the ocean, across the marshes which 
 stretch away along the Essex River. Here is an old 
 shipyard, and the car crosses the river near it, enter- 
 ing South Essex. After leaving this little summer 
 hamlet, the car goes for some distance through fra- 
 grant pine woods, with an occasional farmhouse in 
 view. Crossing a purling little stream, it then runs 
 
124 DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 through a gigantic granite gateway which seems as 
 though it might have been made by nature for this 
 purpose, and comes through Slough Hill, entering 
 West Gloucester, 
 
 From here the car goes up hill and down dale, 
 whisking in and out of the woods, and finally coming 
 out upon a hillside, from which one may have a charm- 
 ing glimpse of Annisquam, off to the left, across the 
 'Squam River, After going under the tracks of the 
 railroad, and coming through another pine grove, 
 there is a fine view of the rocky islands in the river. 
 At Fernwood Lake, another collection of summer 
 cottages, the road running off to Fernwood is seen at 
 the right, and coming out upon the top of the hill and 
 all the way down a long grade, there is a splendid 
 view of Annisquam and Gloucester ahead. The car 
 enters 
 
 GLOUCESTER, over the arms of the 'Squam 
 River, which makes Cape Ann an island at high tide, 
 Rocky Neck, Ten-Pound Island and Eastern Point, 
 with tlieir lighthouses are ofif to the right, in Glouces- 
 ter Harbor, and on the left is the river, with schooners 
 from the Annisquam fishing fleet. Below the great 
 hotel on the right the surf beats ceaselessly on the 
 sands. Entering the heart of the city the car stops at 
 the street railway station where a change is made for 
 the lines running along the north and south shores of 
 the cape. Gloucester is the most famous fishing port 
 in the world, and has been a fishing village since 1625. 
 The fishing whar\'-es and "flakes," where fish are dried, 
 are worth a visit. A street car line runs from the sta- 
 tion to Rocky Neck, a popular resort. 
 
 Another branch line to Long Beach is a favorite 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE.

 trip for North Shore summer residents and excursion- 
 ists. Running out of the quaint old town one comes 
 to a beautiful sandy beach, where are found, in addi- 
 tion to sea bathing, a pavilion and dancing hall, bowl- 
 ing alleys and other popular attractions. Only a 
 short distance from the sandy beach is a bold and 
 rocky shore, and the sea views are charming, especially 
 in the direction of Thatcher's Island and its light- 
 houses. 
 
 The line along the north side of the cape runs 
 
 SUNSET FROM BAY. 
 
 through the pretty summer village of Riverdale to 
 Annisquam with its handsome villas, and on to Bay 
 View, with seaside cottages on one side and granite 
 quarries on the other, and then on to the terminus at 
 Lanesville, from the hills of which there are fine views 
 of the northern Essex and New Hampshire coasts. 
 
 From Lanesville, by taking a walk of a mile, one 
 may come to Pigeon Cove, from which the return to 
 Gloucester may be made on the electric line of the 
 other side of the Cape. 
 
 Taking the Pigeon Cove and Rockport trip, the 
 
126 
 
 DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 car for Rockport soon gets out of the town, after run- 
 ning around some weather-beaten streets, and then 
 goes through reaches of dehghtful rural scenery- At 
 Beaver Dam a stone barn built in 1832 is passed on 
 the left, and then the car climbs Baitcut Hill. From 
 the standpipe on the top of this a magnificent ocean 
 view is obtained, this point of vantage affording an 
 opportunity to see even the South Shore as far as 
 Plymouth. Descending the hill, Cape Pond Grove, 
 a popular picnic groimd, is seen on the right as the 
 car comes into

 VIEW AT ROCKPORT. 
 
 ROCKPORT, it 
 
 runs by quaint old 
 houses, which have 
 the look of weather- 
 beaten old salts, but 
 which stand next 
 door to modern sum- 
 mer cottages. In- 
 deed, some of these 
 old houses are the 
 summer residences 
 of wealthy people 
 who prefer the picturesque to the modern. Enter- 
 ing the town, on the left is a Memorial Hall, and the 
 cars, before starting on their journey to Pigeon Cove, 
 make a complete circuit of the business part of the 
 town, passing the ruins of a cotton mill destroyed by- 
 fire some years ago. 
 
 PIGEON COVE is reached by one of the finest 
 electric car rides to be had anywhere. The line fol- 
 lows Granite street, on the left being the granite quar- 
 ries for which Cape Ann is noted, and from the car

 Dne occasionally gets glimpses of great chasms from 
 tvhich the stone has been taken for years. On the 
 •ight, as the electric line makes a wide semi-circle, are 
 :he rolling waters of the ocean, merging from deep 
 3lue in the bay to a misty gray on the outer rim of the 
 A^orld. Far out may be seen that terrible trap in the 
 3pen sea known as the Salvages, and although the 
 ivater below the car may be calm, a faint sound from 
 icross the deep may be heard as the surf strikes on the 
 •ocks which have wrecked more than one vessel in 
 ;ight of home. 
 
 To obtain the best view of the ocean, one should 
 ;linib Pigeon Hill, at the end of the car line. The hill, 
 o the left, is more than 200 feet above the level of the 
 >ea, and from the summit parts of the coast line of 
 hree states may be seen distinctly. To the south 
 s the North Shore, and with a glass, the outline of 
 he South Shore may be made out. Northward is the 
 ^ew Hampshire coast and the Isle of Shoals, and be- 
 yond may be seen the mountainous coast of Maine. 
 \head, the ocean view is truly magnificent, and the 
 lext land that is to be seen by one who voyages east- 
 vard beyond Straitsmouth Island and Thatcher's Is- 
 and, with their lights, is the coast of England. 
 
On the South Shore by Trolley. 
 
 ALONG the " South Shore." as that part of Mass- 
 sachusetts Bay south of Boston Harbor is 
 called, is a country which is much frequented 
 by trolley excursionists. In this section of the his- 
 toric Commonwealth are great parks, beautiful drives 
 and walks, long sandy beaches, salt marshes, lakes, 
 rivers and groves, and a succession of delightful vil- 
 lages, with ever-changing charms of landscape. One 
 may travel all day with pleasure on the electric cars 
 which run from Boston and Quincy through the beau- 
 tiful South Shore towns, to quaint, historic Bridge- 
 water and beyond. Starting from Boston the Nepon- 
 set car is taken to the Neponset River, which is the 
 most attractive tidal stream near Boston, with no 
 smoky factories or disagreeable mud flats lining its 
 banks, but an overhanging growth of marsh grass 
 reaching down to the water. Here a change is made 
 to the cars of the Quincy & Boston Street Railway, 
 and crossing the river, which is seen meandering 
 along from the foot of the distant hills on the right, 
 the car runs on to Atlantic, where a summer line of 
 street cars runs oflf to the left, to 
 
 SQUANTUM, a point much visited by excur- 
 sionists, with picnic grounds and delightful marine

 views. Here it was 
 that Miles Stan- 
 dish landed in the 
 year 1621, and 
 held council with 
 the Indian sachem 
 Chickatawbut. On 
 the main line the 
 car continues on 
 through Norfolk 
 Downs, the Mas- 
 sachusetts Fields 
 of olden time and 
 rides past the park in Wollaston, just beyond which 
 is the Peter Butler house, once the residence of 
 the Black, Greenleaf and Butler families of Quincy. 
 Passing under the shadow of Wollaston Heights, 
 as they rise on the left, and which were once part 
 of the grant to William Hutchinson, the car enters 
 the interesting city of 
 
 PETER BUTLER HOME. 
 
 QUINCY, known all the world over for its 
 ite, and closely 
 linked to the his- 
 tory of our coun- 
 try. Before en- 
 tering the Granite 
 City one sees the 
 famous quarries 
 from which the 
 stone goes to all 
 the states in the 
 Union, and even 
 to foreign coun- 
 tries. On the ride

 one passes the homestead of Charles Francis Adams, 
 who was minister to England in the trying times 
 of the Cival War. Adams Academy, seen on the 
 right, was founded in 1823, by gift of President John 
 Adams, and was opened for pupils in 1872. On the 
 site of this building John Hancock was born. Quincy 
 Square, which is soon reached contains many objects 
 
 of interest, among which 
 are a granite drinking 
 fountain, a stone Town 
 Hall and the First Unitar- 
 ian Church, with massive 
 granite pillars. Under 
 this church lie the re- 
 mains of John Adams, 
 second president of the 
 United States, and of 
 John Quincy Adams, the 
 sixth president, with those 
 of their wives. The homes 
 of the two presidents, now 
 under the care of patri- 
 otic societies, are only a 
 short distance away, on 
 the road to Braintree. 
 Before continuing on the South Shore trip, one 
 may well make the interesting short trip to East Mil- 
 ton, to see the granite country. The cars run for a 
 short distance on the trunk line to Braintree, turning 
 to the riglit at I'ranklin and Water streets, and cross- 
 ing the railroad at Quincy Adams station, not far 
 from the Adams houses. At Brewer's Corner the 
 granite district is entered. Here the great ledges of 
 the splendid gray stone rise on every hand, with

 houses perched precariously among the rocks. Two 
 commodious brick schoolhouses, the Willard and the 
 Gridley Bryant Schools, look quite out of place with 
 such masses of granite around them. Soon the car 
 turns to the north and after crossing the railroad 
 tracks, all the way to East Milton may be seen the 
 great quarries on the hillsides, while enormous der- 
 ricks stretch their great 
 arms on all sides. The 
 railroad track beside 
 which the cars run is 
 built upon the road- 
 bed of the first railroad 
 in the United States, 
 and the stone posts of 
 the present railroad 
 fence were once tics 
 of the first railroad, 
 upon which the origi- 
 nal flat iron rails were 
 laid. The railroad was 
 built to carry stone 
 from the quarries to 
 the Neponset River 
 when Solomon Wil- 
 lard, the architect of 
 Bunker Hill Monument, decided to use Quincy gran- 
 ite for the building material. If the traveler stops 
 for half an hour at East Milton, and walks a little 
 distance down the railroad track, he may see a short 
 section of the original road, with its granite ties in 
 position, on what was then a turnout. An appro- 
 priate bronze tablet marks the historic spot among 
 the famous quarries.

 Resuming the South Shore journey to visit Nan- 
 tasket Beach, which is well worth another side trip, a 
 car which runs through without change may be taken 
 at Quincy Square, unless the passenger has taken the 
 Nantasket car at Neponset, in which case no change 
 is necessary. The Square is an important street rail- 
 way junction, for beside the lines to East Milton, 
 Squantam and Nantasket Beach, there are lines to 
 Braintree, South Quincy, West Quincy and Hough's 
 Neck, a popular summer resort, the different rides 
 affording many contrasts and combinations of scen- 
 ery. The Nantasket car passes out Washington 
 street, through Quincy Point, formerly an important 
 shipbuilding place, where many noble vessels were 
 launched in the early part of the century. Crossing 
 Weymouth Fore River, the car stops for a moment at 
 New Downer Landing, formerly called Lovell's 
 Grove, famed as a summer excursion resort. Beyond 
 this is 
 
 NORTH \A^EYMOUTH, formerly "Old Spain," 
 where the cars of the Quincy & Boston con- 
 nect with those of the Hingham Street Railway Com- 
 pany, and until Hingham is reached, run over the 
 state highway. "Old Spain" was the first settlement 
 in the Commonwealth after Plymouth, and still has its 
 original boundaries. It was founded by the buccaneer 
 Weston in 1622. Soon after leaving the town the cars 
 cross Weymouth Back River, so-called to distinguish 
 it from. "P'ore" River, which was crossed in Quincy, 
 and then run through a pretty wooded district belong- 
 ing to the Peter Bradley estate. Off to the left a line 
 runs to Fort Point and to the Bradley Fertilizer 
 Works. Just before entering

 Hingham is one of the quaintest of old towns — "an-

 tance out of Hingham, the car ascends a hill from 
 
134

 recreation, while the walks on the hard sands, the rest- 
 less surf, the open Atlantic, the rocks at the southern 
 extremity of the beach with their varied marine life, 
 and the splendid sea views, give pleasure to those of 
 more quiet tastes. There are several good hotels at 
 the beach. An electric line runs up the long neck of

 be taken for Boston and carriages secured for a drive 
 along the famous Jerusalem Road, where many 
 wealthy Boston people have their summer homes. 
 The famous drive extends along the shore for nearly 
 three miles, affording the traveler many beautiful 
 views of the ocean, and a constant succession of fine 
 architectural examples. 
 
 On the return journey by electric car one may go 
 back by the same route as far as Hingham, and then 
 
136

 take a car for East Weymouth, where connections 
 may be made for Weymouth, Braintree, South Wey- 
 mouth, Rockland, Brockton, Whitman, East Bridge- 
 water and Bridgewater. Between Weymouth and 
 North Weymouth is an eminence known as King Oak 
 Hill, which was crowned by a giant oak until a few 
 years ago, and it is said that the first settlers of Wey- 
 mouth camped beneath its branches and gave the tree 
 
 and the hill their names. In Weymouth is the famous 
 Arnold Tavern, where the Committee of Safety met 
 in Revolutionary times. Weymouth, South Wey- 
 mouth and East Weymouth are full of historic old 
 houses and the trolleys run through a succession of 
 fine places. They also pass the largest boulder in 
 eastern Massachusetts, House Rock. The locality 
 is a famous one for the sportsmen who fish or shoot 
 ducks.

 beautiful thoroughfare, through Hingham Centre, the 
 car passes through a rural district to South Hingham, 
 and then to the old turnpike at 
 
 QUEEN ANN'S CORNER, near which once 
 dwelt three maiden sisters who remained loyal to the 
 king through two wars and who claimed George IV 
 as their sovereign fifty years after the Declaration of 
 Independence was signed. Near Queen Anne's Cor- 
 ner is Accord Pond, which takes its name from the

 happy "accord" between the parties to an old contract. 
 When a treaty with the Indians was to be made by the 
 towns of Scitiiate, Abington and Hingham, the parties 
 decided to meet at the junction of the boundaries of 
 the three towns. As this was near the centre of the 
 pond, the meeting was held on the ice. and an amica- 
 ble settlement was made, after which the pond was 
 
 given Its present name. From Queen Anne's Corner 
 the car continues on to North Hanover, a town which 
 dates back to 1633, and a line leads to Assinippi. 
 which, as its Indian name indicates, is "a place of 
 rocks and water," once a famous shipping mart. Run- 
 ningf southwest to 
 
 ROCKLAND, (East Abington) the car goes on 
 wide, shaded streets which branch from Lane's Cor- 
 ner. After leaving Rockland the street soon crosses

 and pastures, the town of 
 
 WHITMAN is entered. This is a busy shoe 
 manufacturing town, from which street railway lines 
 run to Brockton on the west and northward to Abing- 
 ton and North Abington. It is also a historic town, 
 from which came planks for the Frigate "Constitu- 
 tion," and where was cast the first church bell in the 
 Colony, by Col. Aaron Hobart, who taught Paul Re- 
 vere the art. From Whitman the journey is south- 
 ward through a rural country to

 and prosperous village, with several churches and 
 varied manufactures. Here are fine old houses and

 of Nunketest, was bought, soon after the landing of 
 the Pilgrims, of the Indian chief Massasoit, and was 
 named Bridgewater in 1645, after the town in old 
 Somersetshire. Colonial records state that the trans- 
 action was made between the Indians and Myles 
 Standish, Samuel Nash and Constant Southworth, and 
 that the payment for this magnificent domain was 
 seven coats, one and one-half yards to a coat, nine 
 hatchets, eight hoes, twenty knives, four moose skins, 
 and ten and one-half yards of cotton. It was in this 
 town that Hugh Orr erected a trip-hammer, and in 
 1748 made 500 muskets, the first turned out in Amer-

Into the Old Colony. 
 
 ONE of the grand trunk lines of electric railway 
 southward from Boston runs through the "Old 
 Colony" and the cities of Quincy, Brockton, 
 Taunton and Fall River to Newport, New Bedford or 
 Providence. The Boston Elevated Railway car is 
 taken to Neponset, where a change is made to the 
 Quincy and Boston line running to Quincy by the 
 route described elsewhere. When paying the fare on 
 the Quincy car, an eight-cent check to the South 
 Braintree line may be obtained. Changing at Quincy 
 Square to the car marked Braintree and Holbrook, a 
 short ride brings one to the corner of Franklin Street 
 and Independence Avenue. 
 
 On the right are two old weather-beaten houses, 
 one the birthplace of President John Adams, and the 
 other the birthplace of President John Quincy Adams. 
 The front door of the home of the elder Adams looks 
 directly upon the end of the John Quincy Adams 
 house. The John Adams place is occupied by the 
 widow of a soldier, and is cared for by Adams Chap- 
 ter, Daughters of the American Revolution. A fine 
 view of West Quincy and its granite quarries is had 
 as the car runs on into 
 
 BRAINTREE, with its granite quarries, its shoe 
 factories and general business, surrounded by a rich

 agricultural country. Here is the famous ''trilobite 
 quarry" known to geologists. Cars may be taken 
 here for Weymouth, East Braintree, Hingham and 
 Nantasket Beach. Passing through the town without 
 change, the car comes to 
 
 SOUTH BRAINTREE, passing Thayer Acad- 
 
 -emy on the right, the gift to the town of General Syl- 
 
 vanus Thayer, who left $200,000 for this purpose. 
 
 -From here there are two lines to Brockton. One 
 
 ITHPLACE OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. 
 
 ^passes through Holbrook and Brookville, the former 
 a shoe manufacturing town, with a Gothic Town Hall 
 and Public Library, the handsome Winthrop Church, 
 and many fine estates, notable among which is the 
 Adams place. From Brookville there is a good view 
 ■of the surrounding country. Then the line runs into 
 Montello, where connections are made with the 
 Brockton, Bridgewater & Taunton Street Railway, 
 ■ and another ride of fifteen minutes takes the passenger 
 to Brockton, going past Brockton Common and the 
 shoe factories.

 The other Hne from South Braintree goes through 
 Randolph. Changing to a Randolph car, the traveler 
 goes by the cemetery on the left, and then by Stanwood 
 Grove, a favorite place for picnics. Running past line 
 farms and farm residences, the car reaches Central 
 Square, 
 
 RANDOLPH, where are located the Turner Li- 
 brary, the Town Hall, the Congregational Church and 
 the Howard House, a famous old hostelry. Changing 
 to the cars of the Brockton Street Railway Company, 
 tlie car passes the home of Mary E. Wilkins, the fa- 
 mous New England writer, on the left. Crossing the 
 liiip into 
 
 AVON, the car passes the handsome residences 
 of Hiram and David Henry Blanchard, retired shoe 
 manufacturers. Going by the GifTord School and the 
 Pumping Station which supplies Avon with spring 
 water, one may see a ruined windmill on the old Por- 
 ter farm, and after a short run 
 
 HIGH LAND 
 PARK is reached. 
 This pleasure ground, 
 which is owned by the 
 Brockton Street Rail- 
 way Company, is sit- 
 uated in Avon and 
 covers about twenty- 
 four acres. It is 
 doubtless one of the 
 prettiest free parks 
 in this section of the

 ZERUBBA8EL IV., A RESIDENT OF HIGHLAND PARK. 
 
 State, being laid out in 
 a very attractive manner, 
 with beautiful walks, 
 luxurious beds of flow- 
 ers and masses of shrub- 
 bery and comfortable 
 shady nooks. 
 
 From the Observa- 
 tion Tower a very good 
 view of the Park and 
 surrounding country can 
 be obtained. Among 
 the numerous buildings 
 located in the Park are 
 the summer house, band stand, dancing pavilion, 
 spring house, theatre, dining-room, etc. It is an 
 ideal spot for picnic parties, as there is a splendid 
 grove of chestnut trees under whose shade tables can 
 be spread. Through the grove are scattered a large 
 number of park swings, and plenty of seats are pro- 
 vided in every portion of the grounds. 
 
 Some of the amusement features are the stage at- 
 tractions (a stage show being given every afternoon 
 and evening, except Sunday, throughout the season) ; 
 the band concerts, which are given every Tuesday and 
 Thursday evenings, with a sacred concert each Sunday 
 afternoon; tlie Zoo, which contains a fine collection of 
 animals and birds, something new being introduced 
 each season; the merry-go-round; dancing pavilion; 
 ball grounds; mystic maze; shooting gallery, etc. 
 
 There is also an especially fine electric fountain, 
 which is a source of constant wonder and enjoyment as 
 its vari-colored and ever-changing streams are seen 
 shooting upward and then falling in graceful curves

 to the basin below. The fact that this fountain cost 
 nearly .S6000.00 will show that it is an exceptionally 
 .fine one. 
 
 One of the features of the Zoo is the famous bear 
 "Zerubbabel," who came into public notice by his 
 memorable trip from 'Frisco with the Golden Gate 
 Commandery, Knight Templars, to Boston, on the oc- 
 casion of the Triennial Conclave of the Grand En- 
 campment of Knight Templars of the United States, 
 held in Boston in August 1895. This bear was cap- 
 tured, when a cub, in the mountains near San Fran- 
 cisco by a member of the Golden Gate Commandery, 
 and taken by them as a mascot on this trip. He was 
 formally presented to the Bay State Commandery of 
 Brockton, August 29, 1895, by the Golden Gate Com- 
 mandery, while on a visit to that city. Zerubbabel 
 makes the Park his home the year around, taking 
 his long winter's nap there, and is always ready to 
 welcome the summer visitors at the Park, and to eat 
 the peanuts and candy with which the children de- 
 light to feed him. The dining room is well equipped, 
 and parties can be sure of finding there a plentiful 
 supply of food, fruits, ice cream, and tonics, and at 
 reasonable prices. The admission to the grounds is 
 absolutely free. Small charges are made for the use 
 of the merry-go-round, dancing pavilion and shooting 
 gallery, and, of course, at the dining pavilion, but 
 everything else is free. 
 
 Amateur photographers will find at the Park an 
 opportunity for taking quite a number of very fine 
 pictures of various portions of the grounds and some 
 of the buildings. The animals in the Zoo would also 
 make interesting subjects. Soon after leaving here 
 the car passes the residence of Harvey Crawford on 
 
146 DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 the left, with its great greenhouses, and reaching the 
 junction where the Holbrook car enters 
 
 BROCKTON, a fine view is had of the Douglas 
 Shoe Factories off to the left. Like Lynn, Brockton is 
 a great "shoe town," sending its manufactures all over 
 the civilized world. Along Main street the car passes 
 the homes of many wealthy business men. Going by 
 the Winthrop School and Ashland Cemetery, the car 
 passes the Commercial Club house on the right, at 
 Main and Spring streets, and then the car reaches 
 Brockton Common, or Perkins Park, a centre for the 
 many street railway lines entering the town. 
 
 Radiating from here are four lines of railway to 
 neighboring towns, one of them connecting with Ab- 
 ington. North Abington and other places in the 
 South Shore Country. Another line runs through a 
 beautiful farming country, past a pretty pond, into the 
 village of 
 
 NORTH EASTON, where, in the great Ames 
 factories, three-fifths of all the shovels made in the 
 world are turned out. The town was the home of the 
 late H. H. Richardson, who gave a new and distinct- 
 ive stamp to American architecture, and it contains 
 many beautiful specimens of his work. The handsome 
 private estates of the Ameses are among the finest 
 country places in the United States, and through the 
 liberality of this family, the town has a beautiful High 
 School, which, with the railroad station and the beau- 
 tiful Memorial Church of the Unitarians are archi- 
 tectural models. From North Easton cars connect 
 with Norton, Mansfield and Attleboro, Another line 
 from Brockton runs to 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 147 
 
 STOUGHTON, penetrating an agricultural dis- 
 rict, this important shoe-making town, lying up 
 mong the hills, from some of which beautiful vistas of 
 ountry can be seen. Still another Brockton line di- 
 erges to 
 
 WHITMAN, another shoe town, from which a 
 treet railway line connects with Abington and other 
 laces along the South Shore Country. There are 
 ivo ways of reaching Taunton from Brockton. The 
 lost direct route is by way of the Taunton & Brockton 
 itreet Railway line, which runs from Brockton south- 
 ward over the old Boston and Taunton turnpike. 
 
 The scenery is of an attractive character, the 
 ountry views varying at every turn. The route leads 
 lirough the western part of Bridgewater township, 
 nth its delightful scenery, and then runs through the 
 illage of Cochesset, in one place crossing an extensive 
 wamp on a trestle bridge which is more than a mile 
 Dng, and is a notable piece of electric railway engi- 
 eering. Entering the town of Raynham, a short run 
 rings the passenger to 
 
 NORTH RAYNHAM, where the tracks of the 
 Jew York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad are 
 panned by a splendid steel trestle. From here it is 
 nly a short distance into Taunton. The other line 
 ■om Brockton to Taunton runs through the suburb 
 f Campello. passing the handsome residences of 
 -Toses Packard and George E. Keith. Here a change 
 ; made to the cars of the Brockton, Bridgewater & 
 'aunton Street Railway, which run past the homes of 
 ictory workers, and then a country of market gar- 
 ens and farms before coming to

 WEST BRIDGEW^ATER. The Female Sem- 
 inary is passed on the left before reaching the Soldiers' 
 Monument and West Bridgewater Square. Crossing 
 the Taunton River, and running through open coun- 
 try past the street railway power station, a good view- 
 is had of the great Bridgewater standpipe, before en- 
 tering 
 
 VIEW ON THE TAUTNON RIVER NEAR TAUNHj. 
 
 BRIDGEWATER, where connection is made 
 by the electric railway with the towns of the South 
 Shore. Going through the little village of Scotland, 
 the next point of interest is Nippenicket Lake on the 
 right, with its two pretty parks, Nippenicket and Pil- 
 grim, the latter being controlled by the street railway 
 company. This was an Indian camping ground and 
 arrow-heads and other relics are often found. Both 
 parks have fine groves, pavilions, boathouses and other 
 attractions. 
 
 Going on through the outskirts of Raynham the

 raunton Little River is passed on the right and John- 
 ;on's Pond on the left, both supplying water power 
 or the great tack factories located there. A short 
 ide brings one within view of the beautiful Taunton 
 ^iver, which the car follows for more than a mile, 
 )assing the clubhouse of the Taunton Boat Club be- 
 ore coming into 
 
 TAUNTON, passing the City Hall and running 
 nto City Square, or Taunton Green, the centre of 
 he electric car lines which radiate from the city. The 
 own is noted for its manufactures, yet is clean and 
 )retty. It has among its institutions the buildings of 
 he State Insane Asylum. Taunton was founded by 
 ^iss Elizabeth Pool, a pious Puritan of Taunton in 
 )ld Somersetshire. The settlement prospered under 
 he friendship of the Indians until 1676, when King 
 'hilip's war broke out. Led by the son of Massasoit, 
 he Indians attacked the place, but were repulsed, and 
 t was from Taunton that was led the expedition 
 vhich pursued the Indians until King Philip was 
 :illed. 
 
 Of the monuments of the present in Taunton, few 
 :re more imposing than the Bristol County Court 
 iouse, a magnificent gray stone building, located on 
 Paunton Green, where are also the Post Ofifice and 
 he City Hotel. Plere also is the first Unitarian 
 rhurch, a rambling stone structure with Saxon 
 owers. One of the great industries of Taunton is the 
 "aunton Locomotive Works. 
 
 Most of the points of interest in Taunton can be 
 een by taking journeys on the lines of the Taunton 
 )treet Railway. One branch runs to Brittaniaville or 
 /Vhittenville, noted for its great silver-plating estab- 
 
150

 lishments and manufactories of table ware. Another 
 goes to Prospect Hill, Scadding Pond or Weir (pro- 
 nounced "Ware"), village, where twenty tons of iron 
 are used daily in the manufacture of stoves by one 
 company. Here was established the first bloomer 
 iron furnace in New England, in 1656. 
 
 Perhaps the most popular line of the Taunton 
 Street Railway is that to Sabbatia Park, which v/as 
 laid out and equipped by the comj^any. The park oc- 
 cupies a delightful site upon the side of Sabbatia Lake, 
 
 and is provided 
 with a handsome 
 grove, with rus- 
 tic seats, swings, 
 pavilions, tables, 
 and everything 
 for the entertain- 
 ment of picnic 
 parties, whlie 
 there are many 
 devices to interest 
 the casual pleas- 
 ure seeker. 
 To continue the journey to Fall River and New- 
 port, a change is made at City Square, Taunton, to 
 the lines of the Dighton, Somerset & Swansea Street 
 Railway. The car nms for a distance between hand- 
 some residences, and then comes to the Taunton 
 River again as Weir Village is entered. Leaving this 
 busy spot behind, something more of rural life is seen 
 on the wav to 
 
 SABBATIA l-ARK. 
 
 NORTH DIGHTON, where a beautiful old 
 picnic grove is passed, known to local fame as the

 Passing along 
 
 North Dighton Clambake Grounds. A short distance 
 beyond is an ancient landmark, Dighton Furnace, and 
 a paper manufactorv. 
 
 With glimpses of the river the car runs on, near- 
 ing Dighton, passing the old Hodijah Baylies place, 
 now owned by Charles Noble Simmons. Entering 
 
 DIGHTON, through the residence district, the 
 car passes tlie Ur.itarian Church, Dighton Memorial 
 Hall and two stove manufactories 
 the river, one 
 may see three 
 small wharves 
 running into the 
 river from four 
 old houses ; this 
 was once the 
 port of entry for 
 Somerset, Taun- 
 ton, and Troy 
 (now Fall River) 
 and the Custom 
 House was in one 
 of these old houses. Along the line of this railway, in 
 June, may be seen hundreds of strawberry pickers. 
 On Assonet Neck, across the River in Berkeley, is the 
 famous Dighton Rock, inscribed with hieroghphics, 
 variously credited to ancient Indians, Norsemen and 
 Phoenicians. A ride of forty-five minutes from 
 Taunton brings one to

 tween the street and the imposing main building, 
 which is in the Moorish style of architecture, is a 
 great lawn with planted shrubbery and carpet flower 
 beds, gravel walks and bicycle paths. 
 
 Inside the Park are bowling alleys, a dancing hall, 
 billiard rooms, an immense dining hall and merry-go- 
 rounds, while on the river are steam launches and 
 row-boats. Band concerts and entertainments are

 given here on summer afternoons, and in the evening 
 the park is brilliantly illuminated by thousands of 
 electric lights. Adjoining the park is the fine club- 
 house of the Taunton Boat Club. Leaving the Park, 
 the car passes Broad Cove and climbs a hill, running 
 through an avenue of elms into 
 
 SOMERSET, a town rich in old mansions, some 
 of which were built fronting upon the river, when the 
 shipping interest was paramount here. Leaving the 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 1 53 
 
 town, the Taunton River again comes into view, and 
 the hills of Fall River are seen in the distance. Soon 
 the car reaches Slade's Ferry Bridge, over which the 
 car runs into Rowenville, to take cars of the Globe 
 Street Railway Company, which land them at City 
 Hall. 
 
 FALL RIVER, passing the magnificent station 
 of the New Vork, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, 
 the Court tlouse, the Armory, the Young Men's 
 Christian Association, the handsome stone Public 
 Library and the City Hall. From Fall River electric 
 lines radiate east and south to New Bedford and 
 Newport, respectively. 
 
 The line from Fall River to New Bedford and 
 Fairhaven runs through Westport Factory, Lincoln 
 Park and North Dartmouth. Lincoln Park is mid- 
 way between hall River and New Bedford, and is an 
 attractive place, leased to the street railway company. 
 Continuing on the main journey by electric car from 
 Fall River to .Newport, there are bits of scenery which 
 are distinctively American; then comes a corner 
 which suggests old England, and here and there is 
 seen a whirling windmill which reminds the traveler 
 of Holland. The delights of the artist-traveler will 
 be unbounded on this trip, especially if he makes it 
 in autumn, when the country is at its best. The island 
 part of Rhode Island was known to the Indians as 
 Aquidneck, " Floating on the Water." The name 
 of Rhode Island itself is said by some to be derived 
 from Rood Eylandt or Red Island, given it by a 
 party of Hollanders who first saw it when its forests 
 were tinged with the autumnal crimson. But while 
 it is seen at its best when its verdure has just been

 touched by the early frosts, it is ahvays beautiful, 
 and the ride to the " Queen of Watering Places " 
 is one of the most enjoyable to be found in New 
 England. 
 
 Starting from Fall River, the "Border City," 
 which was once partly in Rhode Island, the cars of 
 the Newport & Fall River Electric Railway run for 
 a short distance through the cotton mill district, 
 which is the largest textile industries centre in the

 world, and leaves the mills at the state line to enter 
 the picturesque and historic town of 
 
 TIVERTON. In the early days this town had 
 its share of the Indian fighting, and here the seven 
 Church brothers started their menhaden fisheries, 
 which caught fish from the sea all the way from Canada 
 to Cape Hatteras. Later, the fishermen became whal- 
 ers, and sailed around Cape Horn to the Pacific seas. 
 The great sight of Tiverton, however, is the Stone

 Bridge, which was erected some nine years ago, and 
 considered by Tivertonians, the eighth wonder of 
 the world. It divides the towns of Tiverton and 
 Portsmouth, and is the only means of reaching the 
 island part of Rhode Island, except by boat. Below 
 the heights, near the bridge, is the new Island Park, 
 over which blow the fresh breezes, salt laden, from 
 the Seaconnet. Leaving the water and turning to the 
 left, the car enters 
 
 VIEW FROM STONE BRIDGE. 
 
 NEWTOWN, where Ann Hutchinson settled 
 with her followers. From here the journey is south- 
 ward along a country road, walled in by boulders and 
 shaded by great trees, passing now and then a 
 delightful old farmhouse, with its well-sweep and 
 " old oaken bucket." Near here is the Glen, the 
 private estate of Henry A. C. Taylor, with its little 
 church in which Dr. Channing, the great apostle of 
 Unitarianism, once preached. On the right is Law-

 ton's Valley, rich in trees and verdure, watered by a 
 small stream flowing eastward. Then the car begins 
 to ascend the slopes of Quaker Hill, the view from 
 which is of surpassing beauty. Looking backward, 
 the hills of Fall River may be seen, while Tiverton 
 appears in the near distance of the valley below. 
 The farms around are blocked out by stone walls. 
 Off to the right the Providence River rises and falls 
 with the tide, and on the left can be seen the East 
 River, or East Passage, with a white-sailed yacht 
 shining on its blue surface. Ahead is 
 
 PORTSMOUTH VILLAGE, and through this 
 the car runs on its way to Newport. In Portsmouth, 
 Coddington and his friends established the settlement 
 of Pocasset before moving on to Newport. It is 
 hard to realize that this little village, in which the 
 most prominent point of interest is now the Town 
 Hall, was once the seat of the General Assembly of 
 Rhode Island, sharing the honor with Providence, 
 Newport and Warwick. There are enchanting views 
 in all this portion of the journey. The river flows 
 smoothly in the valley below, and on either hand rise 
 the hills, dotted by comfortable farmhouses. A short 
 distance beyond the town is the Vanderbilt farm, or 
 " Oakland Farm," as it is called, which was once 
 owned by August Belmont, and on which stood the 
 Terfey Tea House, some ten years ago moved to a 
 location nearer Newport. Passing the great farm 
 the car soon comes to St. Mary's Church on the 
 right, in memory of Raymond Belmont, half hidden 
 behind stately pines. The old stone church, with its 
 peaceful burying ground, is well worth a visit. Pass- 
 ing the Terfey Tea House, leaving the farming coun- 
 try, and crossing the line into 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 157 
 
 MIDDLETOWN, the 
 
 traveler is in the only 
 town in the state without 
 a village or a postoffice. 
 Here a final glimpse is had 
 of the East Passage, on 
 the left, and a panoramic 
 successionof hillsand dales 
 is presented. Beyond the 
 Middletown line, after a 
 pleasant run between more 
 farms, the car passes to 
 the right of the famous Bri- 
 er Tea House, for many 
 years the scene of festivi- 
 ties in which the wealth and 
 beauty of Newport was 
 prominent, and now often 
 visited by bicycling and coaching parties from New- 
 port. Beyond here, any day in the year when the 
 wind serve;, one may see quaint old windmills, with 
 all sails spread, revolving their giant arms to run the 
 machinery which grinds out the famous Rhode Island 
 corn meal. Seen in the dusk of evening one may 
 imagine these windmills to be great monsters, as did 
 Don Quixote that one against which he made his 
 noted charge. Whirling along on the electric car, 
 the traveler soon begins to realize that he is ap- 
 proaching Newport, and climbing a small eminence 
 the watering place and the ocean are in full view. 
 The great Vanderbilt and Gcelet mansions loom up 
 in the distance like castles. Off to the left may be 
 seen the quiet waters of Norman Pond, from which 
 Newport obtains its water supply. Going down the

 hill and turning off West Main road to the left, the 
 car makes another ascent, climbing Honeyman's 
 Hill from which another good, view is obtained, 
 Coddington Cove and Coddington Point being seen 
 off to the right as the car enters 
 
 NEWPORT. Soon after crossing the line the 
 car runs between fine farms where herds of cattle 
 graze in one pasture, horses in another, and here and 
 there a flock of sheep add to the picturesque quality 
 of a naturally beautiful landscape. In the northerly 
 part of Newport the car runs to the left of Tammany 
 Hill, or Miantonomy Hill, as it was known in the old 
 days. When William Coddington and his friends 
 settled Newport in 1639, they found the whole island 
 governed by a local sachem named Wannumetonomy, 
 who was subject to the sachem of the Narragansetts. 
 He lived on this hill, to which the settlers gave the 
 latter part of his name, but even this abbreviation 
 did not suffice, and the name was shortened to 
 Tonomy, which a later generation corrupted to 
 Tammany. This hill was fighting ground in Revo- 
 lutionary times, and even now may be seen remains 
 of the breastworks thrown up by the British under 
 Sir Robert Pigott. Readers of Thomas W. Higgin- 
 son's " Malbone : a Romance of Oldport," will be 
 interested to know that this land was once owned and 
 occupied by the family of the artist Malbone. Here 
 they entertained in royal style, but one day in 1766 
 the house was burned, the fire starting as a party of 
 guests were sitting down to dinner. Leaving the 
 hill and all its historic associations, the ride into 
 Newport is through varying natural scenery, the 
 nearer landscape being an alternation of sunny slopes,

 )ine groves, giant boulders, rock masses and ledges, 
 vhi e glimpses of the ocean may now and then be

 )f the United States Naval War College on Coaster's 
 -iarbor Island. Over the bay, beyond, lies in full 
 aew, the village of Jamestown, on Conanicut Island. 
 50on the car comes to One Mile Corner, and leavmg 
 he open country, runs into the town. As it passes 
 ;outh on Broadway, many of the handsome residences 
 or which Newport is famous are seen, and after 
 eaving Equality Park, with its fine Soldier's Monu- 
 nent, the car passes the Parade Grounds and Wash- 
 ngton Park, on the right, before reaching the centre 
 if the cit^^ and the terminus of one of the pleasantest 
 ourneys which can be made by electric car. 
 
 THt OLD STONE MILL, NEWPORT. 
 
To the Historic Southwest. 
 
 FROM Taunton to Providence a direct line runs 
 southwest, opening up to the traveler a section 
 of country of great historic interest, and here- 
 tofore reached only \\'ith some difficulty. The line 
 runs through the villages of VVestville, Annawan 
 Rock, Rehoboth, Seekonk and East Providence, and 
 every mile of the journey is over historic ground. 
 Here it was that the battles of King Philip's war 
 were fought to the death, and in this lovely spot, in 
 1636, the hermit Blackstone settled, having left the 
 " tyranny of the lords-brethren." The Reverend 
 Samuel Newman, who led here a little flock from 
 Weymouth, found the eccentric Blackstone in posses- 
 sion, but there was room in Rehoboth for them all, 
 as nearly all the territory covered by this new elec- 
 tric line was then in that town. 
 
 Starting from Taunton, where it connects with 
 electric lines from Boston, Brockton and elsewhere, 
 the Providence & Taunton line runs to the southwest, 
 soon leaving the city behind, and entering a beauti- 
 ful rural country in the corner of the town of Digh- 
 ton. The car soon passes on the left, the famous 
 Annawan Rock, in Squannakonk swamp, where 
 Captain Benjamin Church captured Annawan, the 
 last leader of King Philip's warriors, who was be- 
 headed at Boston, in spite of the promise of Captain 
 
 160 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. l6i 
 
 Church that his Hfe should be spared, and in the 
 face of the protests of his captor. About a mile 
 farther on, the car passes, on the right, the Annawan 
 Hotel, known as the half-way house from Providence 
 to Taunton. The town of 
 
 REHOBOTH, in which the traveler now finds 
 himself, has an interesting history. It was once the 
 rival of Boston for the honor of being the capital 
 city of Massachusetts, and was defeated by only a 
 few votes. Broken-hearted, it settled down into a 
 quiet despondency, from which the electric cars are 
 just beginning to awaken it. On the right of the 
 electric line are the Baptist church and the power 
 house of the Providence & Taunton Street Railway 
 Company, the latter erected at a cost of $40,000. 
 Opposite the power house, shaded by a giant elm, is 
 the Goff Memorial Hall, on the site of the Goff 
 Homestead, and containing the Blanding Library, 
 the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Bicknell ; a 
 hall for meetings, a school room, and the collections 
 of the Antiquarian Society. The antiquarian rooms 
 contain many valuable colonial relics, among which 
 is King Philip's kettle, and also hold the fine collec- 
 tion of relics from the Holy Land, the gift of Esek 
 H. Pierce. Beyond the postofifice on the left, where 
 John C. Manvel has served as postmaster for fifty- 
 two years, is the Congregational Church, and then 
 the car runs through two and one-half miles of rural 
 scenery, crossing the town line into 
 
 SEEKONK, and soon entering a little country 
 village. The car passes on the right, the new town 
 hall and then goes by the great Hopkins Stock Farm,

 known locally as the " Potter Place." The handsome 
 residence of Mrs. Amy Potter, wife of E. H. Potter 
 and daughter of the late W. H. Hopkins, is one of 
 the places of interest, and the barns where stock of 
 high pedigree is kept are seen on the left before 
 coming to the residence. Across the way are the 
 stables of Mr. Potter, where many fine hcrses are 
 kept and trained. The stock farm is near the East 
 Providence line, which is also the state boundary be- 
 tween Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and the car 
 approaches the town after crossing a meadow, and 
 runs beside a brook which is a favorite haunt for 
 artists. This town is where the Newman Church 
 settlement was made, and it was one of those villages 
 which suffered by fire in the Indian wars. Crossing 
 the narrow township, the traveler comes within sight 
 of the long arm of Providence River coming down to 
 meet the swelling tide. Crossing this stretch of 
 flowing water, the terminus of the line is reached, in 
 Providence, where connections may be made with 
 the various city street railway lines. Along most of 
 the route the scenery is distinctively rural in char- 
 acter, with views of fertile farms, shady groves, 
 tangled wildernesses and wide-spreading meadows.

A Journey Inland by Trolley. 
 
 ONE may now ride from Boston westward to 
 Worcester and from there to Fitchburg, by one 
 of the great trunk lines of electric railway 
 which penetrates the "Heart of the Commonwealth." 
 From the Subway the ride is by the Newton Boule- 
 vard and Commonwealth avenue cars as far as Wash- 
 ington street in Newton, by the route taken in going 
 to Norumbega Park, which may well be visited before 
 continuing on the Worcester trip. At Washington 
 street a change is made to the Wellesley & Boston 
 Street Railway cars, going past the Woodland Park 
 Hotel, over the Boston & Albany tracks and by the 
 Newton Cottage Hospital before coming to 
 
 NEWTON LOWER FALLS. The terminus 
 is at the bridge, below which are the falls, the water 
 power being vised to run the woolen factory on the 
 right. Changing to the cars of the Natick & Cochit- 
 uate Street Railway, the ride is along Washington 
 street to 
 
 WELLESLEY HILLS. Between handsome 
 elms the car runs past Elm Park Hotel on the right 
 and the Wellesley High School on the left. Follow- 
 ing the railway line, which goes through a deep cut in

 the rocks, and going through an open country, the 
 car runs into 
 
 WELLESLEY, the Town Hall and Public Li- 
 brary being seen on an eminence to the right. These 
 were a gift to the town by Hollis Hunnewell, whose 
 beautiful place is one of the features of Wellesley, 
 and at Wellesley Square carriages meet those who 
 wish to visit the fine estate, reached after a fifteen- 
 minute ride. From here a line runs to Needham where 
 connections are made with cars for various parts 
 described elsewhere. Resuming the journey at the 
 Square the cars turn into Central street, and reach- 
 ing Blossom street the first view is had of Wellesley 
 College, off to the left, the spires the buildings being 
 seen above the trees. The car runs for a mile along 
 the college grounds, passing West Stone Lodge, one 
 of the entrances. On the right Morse's Pond is seen, 
 and on the left lovely Lake Waban, where the college 
 girls row. At the bridge between the two lakes, 
 known as Wellesley Lakes Station, Pond street passes 
 off to the left, between the college grounds and the 
 Hunnewell estate, past which the car runs for some 
 distance before entering 
 
 NATICK. This old town, devoted to the mak- 
 ing of shoes, was where Henry Wilson, afterwards 
 vice-president, served an apprenticeship at the shoe- 
 maker's bench. Transfers may be made here for 
 Felchville, North Natick and Cochituate, and South 
 Natick. The last named is an historic town on the 
 Charles River. The ride is a short and pleasant one, 
 over a hill which gives a wide view of the upper 
 Charles River valley. The terminus is near Bailey's 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 1 65 
 
 Hotel, a famous old tavern. This town was where 
 John Eliot had his Christian Indian village, and where 
 he translated the Bible into Indian language. The 
 only monument to his memory is a giant elm under 
 which he used to preach. South Natick is the original 
 Oldtown of Harriet Beccher Stowe's '"Oldtown 
 Folks." 
 
 From Natick there are two lines to South Fram- 
 ingham. One is by way of Saxonville, while the more 
 direct route is by the South Middlesex car, taken at 
 Natick Common. A walk to the left brings one to this 
 car, near the Natick Soldiers' Monument. A few 
 steps away, on Central street, is the old Wilson house. 
 Across the Common is the Morse Public Library. 
 After leaving Natick the car passes the site of the In- 
 dian Burying Ground, on the right, then Dug Pond 
 and the reservoir of the Natick Water Works, and 
 then crosses an arm of Lake Cochituate. Dell Park 
 Cemetery is passed, and ascending Hogan's Hill there 
 is a fine view of Natick, and in the distance on the left, 
 is the State Reformatory for Women at Sherborne. 
 Following the railroad tracks and crossing Beaver 
 Dam brook, South Framingham is entered. 
 
 The Natick c*^ Cochituate car for Saxonville starts 
 from the railroad station in Natick. Crossing the rail- 
 road and going along Main street it comes in sight of 
 Lake Cochituate on the left, and then passes, on the 
 same side, the Sunnyside Trotting Park. Through 
 Felchville the car runs into the little village of 
 
 COCHITUATE, thence past farms until Dudley 
 Pond, on the right, with its fine grove, is reached. A 
 little further on, from the hilltop, a splendid view is 
 had of the lake, its banks shaded by tall trees, and its 
 
l66 DERRAHS STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 inlets running up into the meadows. Continuing on, 
 the car passes to the left of the home of the Reverend 
 Father Murphy, founder of the John Boyle O'Reilly 
 Band. Among the attractions of the place is a mena- 
 gerie. Running down the hill the car line terminates 
 at the railroad tracks in 
 
 SAXONVILLE. From here the Framingham 
 Union Street Railway operates a line to South Fram- 
 ingham, recently changed from a horse-car line to an 
 electric. The first point of interest is Wayside Park, 
 on the left, with its pretty pine and chestnut grove, 
 baseball grounds and bicycle track. This is also a 
 popular resort for picnic parties, provided with all the 
 necessary buildings for the accommodation of those 
 seeking a day's outing. Inarms, with their crops and 
 cattle, are passed after leaving Wayside Park, and a 
 short run brings one to the State Militia Grounds on 
 the right. Here, if the visitor goes when the Massa- 
 chusetts Volunteer Militia is in camp, he will see long 
 rows of white tents, the gay life of the military canton- 
 ment, and the Stars and Stripes floating from the top 
 of a tall flagsta^. As the car enters South Framing- 
 ham, residences and business blocks are passed, and 
 the terminus is reached at the railroad crossing. 
 
 From South I'ramingham there is a branch line 
 to Ashland and Hopkinton, via the South Middlesex 
 Street Railway. The car passes manufacturing plants, 
 and on the right the handsome Nevins estate on the 
 Sudbury River. Going through Ashland, and pass- 
 ing Green Meadow Farm, the car enters Hopkinton. 
 Here the Poor Farm buildings are passed on the right, 
 and at the top of Meeting House Hill is the historic 
 stone Claflin-Valentine house, said to be two hundred 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 167 
 
 years old. The car passes the Pubhc Library and 
 Post Office in Hopkinton Centre. 
 
 Another branch h'ne from South Framingham 
 reaches Milford and Hopedale. The car passes Lake 
 Waushakum on the right, and about two miles out 
 of town goes up Whitney's Hill; after running 
 through a rural country 
 
 EAST HOLLISTON is entered, the nail fac- 
 tory of Representative Talbot being seen on the left, 
 and the Holliston Pumping Station and the street 
 car company's power house on the right. Beyond 
 this the line passes two elms, more tnan 125 years 
 old, one measuring twenty-eight and the other thirty- 
 two feet in circumference. On both sides are hand- 
 some residences. On Mount Hollis, on the right, 
 signal fires warned early settlers of Indian Invasions. 
 In Holliston the car passes the Methodist Church, an 
 old cemetery, a Soldiers Monument, the Town Hall, 
 and back from the road the Holliston High School. 
 On the left are the Catholic Church and the Talbot 
 residence. Opposite is the Congregational Church. 
 Beyond Holliston Centre the car climbs Phillips 
 Hill, and about two and one-half miles beyond, on 
 the right, is a house built in 1791. Passing an old 
 cemetery, the car enters Milford, running between 
 the famous Milford granite quarries. From here a 
 branch line runs off to Medway, passing through 
 West Medway. Leaving the churches and the Town 
 Hall of Milford, the car goes to Hopedale, the home 
 of William H. Draper, Minister to Italy. The fine 
 Memorial Hall in the town was given by him. Hope- 
 dale is a pretty town, with macadamized streets lined 
 with shade trees. 
 
l68 DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 SOUTH FRAMINGHAM is an important rail- 
 road centre, and its tributary electric lines contrib- 
 ute in no small degree to its importance. Lines run 
 from here to Milford and Ilopedale, Medway, Ash- 
 land. Hopkinton and Framingham Centre, as well as 
 to Saxonville and Boston by the routes previously de- 
 scribed. The route to Framingham Centre, on the 
 way to Worcester, via the Framingham & Marlboro 
 Electric Railway, is well shaded for the entire dis- 
 tance, and the scenery is of a diversified character. A 
 short distance out of South Framingham, the car line 
 passes the Fair Grounds on the right and Lakeview 
 Camp Grounds on the left, where the New England 
 Assembly of the Chautauqua meets every year in 
 July; then climbs a hill from which is afforded a 
 splendid view of Farm Pond, on the left. The Sud- 
 bury Aqueduct runs across this pond. Passing the 
 fine Day place on the left, the Sudbury River itself is 
 soon reached, and ahead can be seen the State Nor- 
 mal School building in 
 
 FRAMINGHAM CENTRE. The car runs to 
 the right of Normal Hill, on which are situated the 
 school buildings and the standpipe of the Framing- 
 ham Water Works. The little village of Framingham 
 is an interesting place, once situated on the main line 
 of travel from Boston to New York, when it had a 
 famous inn. The town is built around a level green, 
 on which front the Town Hall, the old church and the 
 Academy, founded in 1792. From Framingham 
 Centre the road leads along the shores of one of 
 the old basins of the Metropolitan Water System, 
 and then past the new Sudbury Basin, officially 
 known as No. 5, into the village of Fayvillc. The 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 169 
 
 traveler will see much that is of interest along the 
 route of this great water supply system, the car 
 crossing an arm of the great basin after leaving 
 Fayville. Then it soon goes over the bridge of the 
 New York, New Haven & Hartford Railway, and 
 passes the Catholic church in 
 
 SOUTHBORO. This is one of the pretty rural 
 hill towns of Central Massachusetts and has a Sol- 
 diers' Monument in the green in front of the Congre- 
 gational church. In this town, also, is the Episcopal 
 St. Mark's School, with its handsome stone chapel. 
 Leaving the village, the new plant of the famous 
 Deerfoot Farm Company is passed and a quick run 
 is made to Marlboro Junction, a short distance be- 
 yond which are the car houses of the company, nearly 
 opposite the old Parmenter Farm. Back of this farm, 
 on the hill, are the lands of the Chestnut Hill Associa- 
 tion. From a hill which the car ascends, one gets a 
 view of the factories and shops, and soon a turn brings 
 him to Main street in the city of 
 
 MARLBORO, interesting in many ways. Here 
 was a village of Eliot's Christian Indians, known as 
 Okommakamesitt, and King Philip's warriors at- 
 tacked the place in 1676. The modern town has much 
 of interest, also. On the left of Main street is Holy 
 Trinity (Episcopal) Church, presented to the parish 
 by J. Montgomery Sears of P>oston, and then comes 
 the business district of the town. The New York, 
 New Haven & Hartford station is on the left, and as 
 the cars ascend the street at the farther end of the 
 town, the new High School building is seen on the 
 right. At the Soldiers' Monument a change is made 
 
lyo DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 to the cars of the Worcester & Marlboro Street Rail- 
 way Company. Nearly opposite the monument is the 
 G. A. K. Hall, in front of which hangs the original 
 John Brown bell, captured and buried by Marlboro 
 boys while in the army, and afterwards dug up and 
 brought here. 
 
 Before going on to Worcester it is worth while to 
 make a side trip to Hudson, on the branch line from 
 Marlboro. Instead of leaving the car at the Soldiers' 
 Monument, however, the passenger should keep on 
 until the Fitchburg Railroad station is reached. Here 
 a change is made to the Hudson line, on Friend Hill. 
 Hudson is 325 feet lower than the altitude of Marl- 
 boro, and the descent is something like a toboggan 
 slide. 
 
 After running down Mechanic street in Marlboro, 
 a sharp turn to the left is made and the car leaves the 
 roads, running through the fields and woods. Down 
 the hillside it plunges, af^ordmg ever-changing views. 
 Halfway to Hudson there is a little rise, but it is only 
 to prepare for a second plunge down a wooded slope. 
 Finally the car, after its cross-country run, comes out 
 on the Northboro and Hudson road, close to the 
 Brigham House, more than a century old. Near here 
 is the Riverside Trotting Park. The Assabet River 
 flows on the left, and between it and the road is Wood 
 Park, presented to the town by Marshall Wood in 
 1896. A short distance beyond, the car stops in 
 
 HUDSON. This is a thriving inland Massachu- 
 setts town, and the business district, which was wiped 
 out by a disastrous fire in 1894, has been rebuilt. 
 From here a line will be in operation next summer 
 connecting with the line at Clinton. The traveler 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 171 
 
 will have fifteen minutes to visit the falls of the As- 
 sabet and look about the town before starting on 
 the return journey. In an hour he is in Marlboro 
 again, and a minute's walk will bring him to the mon- 
 ument, where he will take the Worcester car. 
 
 Resuming the journey on the main line, after pass- 
 ing by the Bigelow School, the car runs up hill and 
 down until Lake Williams is reached. This lake is the 
 source of Marlboro's water supply, and the reservoir 
 and standpipe are seen farther on, at the right, after 
 the car turns to run between the lake and St. Ann's 
 Convent, situated on a hill at the right. A short dis- 
 tance beyond the reservoir the car passes a "little red 
 schoolhouse" of the old-fashioned kind, opposite 
 which is a fine distant view of the surrounding: coun- 
 try. The car soon passes the Rice mansion, a white- 
 painted building in the early colonial style of architec- 
 ture, with ends of brick, and beyond is the Seaver 
 place, a brick house in which Edwin P. Seaver, super- 
 intendent of the public schools of Boston, was born. 
 Running past fields and woods, and passing the wait- 
 ing station near Woodside Mills, the car crosses the 
 new Metropolitan aqueduct just completed to Soutli- 
 boro. At the right is the bridge which carries the 
 aqueduct across the Assabet River, a piece of great 
 engineering skill. As the car approaches 
 
 NORTHBORO, the magnificent private grounds 
 of Mr. Wesson, of Smith & Wesson, the widely- 
 known firearms manufacturers, are observed on 
 both sides of the road. The Gale Public Library, a 
 fine architectural example, is seen on the left as 
 Northboro village is entered. In the village church- 
 yard is the grave of Rabbi Judah Monis, who re- 
 
172 
 
 DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 nounced Judaism in 1722, and afterwards become 
 teacher of of Hebrew in Harvard College, where he 
 remained until his death in 1761. 
 
 WESTBORO is reached by taking a branch line 
 from Northboro. The line turns to the left and goes 
 across country, passing, on the right, the Davis Man- 
 sion, a famous resort for wheelmen and tourists, and 
 the Lyman School for Boys, on the hill at the left. 
 Westboro is the seat of a State Reform School. This 
 town was in the old Indian domain of Maguncook. 
 
 Again continuing on the main line from Northboro 
 to Worcester, the car passes the Northboro stores and 
 the Soldiers' Monument, and soon runs into a country 
 of verdant fields. Elm Tree Inn, on the right, is the 
 next point of interest, and then there is a long run 
 through a country of farms and woods, with pleasing 
 rural scenes on either hand, until the passenger enters 
 
 SHREWSBURY. At the entrance of the vil- 
 lage, on the left, is the Ward Mansion, once the home 
 of Artemus Ward, who was a major in the siege of 
 Louisburg in 1758, and who commanded the Ameri- 
 can forces besieging Boston until the arrival of Wash- 
 ington, who made the house famous by stopping there 
 on his journey. The house is low and rambling, and 
 the great brass knocker on the door proclaims its an- 
 tiquity. Levi Pease, who started the first line of mail 
 stages between Boston and New York, in 1784, was 
 born here. Shrewsbury is built along a village street, 
 and the car runs through it, all the way up hill, at the 
 farther end of the street passing the Town Hall, 
 churches and .Soldiers' Monument. 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 173 
 
 A turn to the left is soon made, and the line runs 
 for the most part down hill with a glorious view of 
 valley and hills beyond at the right, and Worcester 
 visible in the distance. Soon the old turnpike is reach- 
 ed, and another descent brings one to Lake Quinsig- 
 amond, with its hotels, pavilions and cottages. The 
 lake is deep and narrow, four miles long, and contains 
 twelve islands. Here the regattas of the Worcester 
 Boat Club, and sometimes those of the New England 
 Association of Amateur Oarsmen, are held. Doubt- 
 less many trolley excursionists wish to stop here, and 
 they may do so without extra charge, for at this point 
 the car runs on the tracks of the Worcester Consoli- 
 dated Street Railway Company, and another fare is 
 taken. After leaving the lake, the electric line follows 
 for some distance the tracks of the narrow gauge road 
 through the fields and near the tracks of the Boston 
 & Albany Railroad. 
 
 At the right the State Insane Asylum, a massive 
 granite structure, is seen in the distance, and shortly 
 after, the car turns into Shrewsbury street, and runs in 
 a bee-line to the Union Station in Worcester. If the 
 traveler keeps on the car to the corner of Main and 
 Front streets, a free transfer may be had to any of 
 the cars of the Worcester Consolidated Street Railway 
 Company. 
 
 Two lines of the Worcester & Suburban Street 
 Railway run westward from Worcester. One passes 
 down the Blackstone valley for some thirteen miles, 
 with a variety of river and hill scenery, going through 
 Millbury, Saundersville and Rockdale, while the other 
 goes westward over the State road to Leicester, Spen- 
 cer and West Warren. Taking the Spencer car and 
 
174 
 
 DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 passing the company's ofiices on Front street, the ride 
 is through Portland, Southbridge, Hamlin, Canterbury 
 and Tremont streets, there being a view from Tre- 
 mont street, of Holy Cross College on the field off to 
 the left. 
 
 At Webster Square a line diverges to Hope Cem- 
 etery and Trowbridgeville, while the main-line car 
 runs on Main street past the Old Ladies' Home. After 
 leaving the city, a trout hatchery is seen on the left, 
 and at Apricot street, on the right, a mile walk brings 
 one to a rock in the face of which is carved a deed be- 
 queathing the surrounding country to Almighty God. 
 Beyond Apricot street. Kettle Brook runs on the left, 
 and Valley Falls, with its mills, is soon passed. Then 
 the car reaches 
 
 LEICESTER, the first village in which is know 
 as Cherry Valley. Beyond this are groves, and Waite's 
 Pond is seen beyond the Catholic Church on the left. 
 The car then leaves the State highway and runs on 
 Winslow avenue, through the estate of Hon. Samuel 
 E. Winslow, whose handsome residence is at the left, 
 and going through Baxton street, once more enters 
 the State road. As a turn is made to the right Leices- 
 ter Common is passed, with its churches, the Town 
 Hall and Leicester Academy. 
 
 From here the car runs down an incline, past the 
 pretty stone Public Library Building, the street rail- 
 way power house and offices, and then ascends Mount 
 Pleasant, passing a house which was one of the inns 
 where the Worcester and Springfield stages stopped. 
 Just beyond here the electric car reaches an elevation 
 of 1053 feet above sea level. Passing Burncoat Pond 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 175 
 
 on the left, at the Spencer town Hne there is Mount 
 Wachnsett on the right as the car enters 
 
 SPENCER, which is seen in the distance. Pass- 
 ing through "Moose Hill Farm," owned by Rufus 
 Sibley of Rochester, N. Y. Beyond the farm the town 
 is in full view, and after passing Lake Whittemore and 
 the public park on the right the car enters the village, 
 running past the High School and near the boot fac- 
 tory of Isaac Prouty & Co., the largest of its kind in 
 the world. Beyond here the line runs through a beau- 
 tiful pastoral country, with many fine views of the 
 hills, to enter Warren, beyond which is West Warren, 
 a beautiful summer resort and the terminus of the 
 electric line. 
 
 In addition to these lines of the Worcester & Sub- 
 urban, there is a shorter line, running from the city out 
 to North Grafton. Starting from the Union Station 
 and crossing the railroad tracks, the line soon leaves 
 the city behind, and on the left may be seen Flint's 
 Pond, and then Hovey's Pond, before reaching North 
 Grafton, where is located the home of the Worcester 
 Country Club, with its golf links and other sporting 
 activities. Another line will soon be in operation be- 
 tween Worcester and Webster. 
 
 From Worcester the main line of this journey con- 
 tinues to Fitchburg, a change being made to the cars 
 of the Worcester & Clinton Street Railway either at 
 the Railroad Station or at the City Hall, in Worcester. 
 Soon after leaving the business district of the city, the 
 car runs over Paine hill, from which there is a wide 
 view of the country about. Passing the Poor Farm, 
 on the right, the line runs across a corner of the town 
 
176 
 
 DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 of Shrewsbury. Here the ride is through a farming 
 country, one of the houses passed being once the 
 homestead of the world-famous temperance advocate, 
 John B. Gough. Then the car runs along through a 
 pleasant country to enter 
 
 BOYLSTON CENTRE, which recently cele- 
 brated the hundredth anniversary of its founding. 
 From here a view is had of Mount Wachusett, ofif to 
 the right. Eoylston Centre is an interesting town, 
 and in the valley below lies the great Wachusett Basin 
 of the Metropolitan Water System, from which Boston 
 is to receive its water supply. The car follows along 
 the basin for more than three miles, and the traveler 
 has a good opportunity to study the great engineering 
 work, as the slope to the basin from the railroad tracks 
 is precipitous. 
 
 The view from this portion of the road is an inspir- 
 ing one, with the sharp contrast of man's handiwork 
 with that of nature, the deep valley and the panorama 
 of farms and farm-houses being framed in a back- 
 ground of high verdure-clad hills. On the right hand 
 there is a screen of small trees, but the old landmark of 
 Wachusett is visible for a large part of the distance. 
 After leaving the car house in Boylston Centre, a little 
 school house on the left is passed, called the Seven Na- 
 tions School. The odd name is derived from the local 
 report that at one time the school had only seven pu- 
 pils, representing seven different nationalities. Still 
 continuing through a farming country, of the New 
 England type, the car comes to 
 
 CLINTON, with the standpipe and reservoir on 
 Burdett Hill as prominent objects in the landscape. 
 
DERRAH'S STRRET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 177 
 
 Here the operations of the Metropohtan Water Sys- 
 tem are in a well-advanced stage. Clinton is a pretty 
 manufacturing town and has a handsome Memorial 
 Hall. Here a change is made to the car of the Leo- 
 minster & Clinton Street Railway, which soon crosses 
 the south branch of the Nashua River. A detour is 
 made through the well-kept streets and past the pretty 
 little park surrounded by churches, and the Town 
 Hall, and then the car goes up a hill. A^fter a pleasant 
 ride of fifteen minutes the little village of 
 
 SOUTH LANCASTER, is reached, and a look 
 backward gives a beautiful view of Clinton. Here are 
 located the great estates of the Thayer family and their 
 splendid stock farms. Before entering the town, the 
 car leaves the public highway and runs over private 
 property, a lease of which was given for ninety-nine 
 years in order that the cars might not pass directly in 
 front of the fine residence of Mr. Eugene V. R. Thayer. 
 As the highway is entered once more the old Thayer 
 homestead is passed on the left. It is proposed to 
 build a branch line of street railway from this place to 
 Hudson. Crossing the north branch of the Nashua 
 River, the car enters 
 
 LANCASTER CENTRE, passing the Town 
 Hall, Public Library, and church on the right, at the 
 "north village." A little further on the north branch of 
 the Nashua is crossed for the second time, and then the 
 car passes the Lancaster Poor Farm on the right, and 
 runs through a country of farms. A little further on 
 Leominster Park is reached, a great pleasure ground 
 on the banks of the Nashua River, maintained by the 
 street railway company. Here may be found a bowling 
 
178 
 
 DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 alley and dining hall on one side, while across the river 
 is a beautiful pine grove, with a rustic theatre, situated 
 at the foot of an amphitheatre of rustic seats. After 
 leaving" the park a run is made through another pros- 
 perous farming country, until 
 
 LEOMINSTER is reached. This is a busy town 
 with varied manufactures, important among which are 
 those of toys and combs, while around the town on the 
 line of the street railway are farms entirely devoted to 
 the raising of cucumbers for the markets of Boston 
 and New York. 
 
 From Leominster to Fitchburg a choice of routes 
 is open to the traveler, to less than three electric rail- 
 way lines connecting these two points. The traveler 
 may well make the journey to Fitchburg one way, and 
 return by another line. Taking the car of the Fitch- 
 burg & Leominster Street Railway Co., for Fitchburg 
 via North Leom.inster, the car passes over the 
 Nashua River and underneath the railroad bridge, 
 through the pretty little village. Ascending the hill 
 after passing the town, one of the finest views imagina- 
 ble is obtained. 
 
 Nowhere in all New P2ngland can a finer farming 
 country be s^en than from the hill which is followed all 
 the way from Leominster to Fitchburg. One may 
 have a view of the pretty town of Leominster, half 
 hidden in the trees, to the rear, or the long blue ranges 
 of hills and mountains to the left, Wachusett Mountain 
 and the Wanoosnucs, or the busy city of Fitchburg 
 ahead. A ride of a short distance brings the traveller 
 to Whalom Lake and Park, owned and managed by 
 the street railway company, and is open at all times 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE.

 during the summer. It is of great natural beauty, and 
 much has been done in displaying the natural charms 
 of the place to the best advantage. 
 
 Whalom Lake is a beautiful sheet of water, and 
 there is a large fleet of boats for rowing or sailing on its 
 placid surface, and across the road from the lake is a 
 beds of fragrant, flowering plants. An assembly hall 
 and a dining pavilion are among the buildings, while 
 on a rustic stage, performances are given in summer 
 by competent artists. Merry-go-rounds, rustic seats, 
 picnic tables, swings, a band-stand, and other attrac- 
 tions of a kindred nature are provided, and in the wild- 
 est part of the park is an enclosure where are kept 
 deer, elk and moose, which are now so tame as to be 
 easily approachable. No higher tribute can be paid 
 to the park than the fact that picnic parties return 
 there year after year. After leaving the park it is only 
 a short ride to the suburbs of 
 
 FITCHBURG, the traveler still having the ad- 
 vantage, unusual in entering a large place, of seeing 
 charming landscapes on every side. Rollstone Hill, 
 seen to the left, is a picturesque feature in the lands- 
 cape, and the city itself is seen in panoramic view be- 
 fore it is entered, and running between business 
 blocks, the car reaches the terminus of this line in 
 front of the American House. 
 
 Another line is by South Fitchburg, the car also 
 leaving from the square in Leominster, and is the 
 most direct between the two places. The route is 
 through the little village of South Fitchburg, passing 
 the Fitchburg Almshouse and County Jail on the left. 
 A ride of thirty minutes from Leominster brings one

 into Fitchburg, the terminus. This city, with its busy 
 manufactures and its wide-awake population, contains 
 much that is of interest to the visitor. Several local 
 lines of street railway pass out of Fitchburg, one of the 
 most interesting rides being that on the line to West 
 Fitchburg, which passes by Rollstone Hill, where are 
 located the famous Fitchburg granite quarries, and 
 from which there are views of wide extent.

Up the Mystic Valley. 
 
 FROM Boston a line of cars runs up the beautiful 
 valley of the Mystic River, and this is soon to 
 be continued from North Woburn, its present 
 terminus, through Wilmington and Tewksbury to 
 Lowell, passing Silver Lake, near Lowell, one of the 
 prettiest little lakes in Eastern Massachusetts. Two 
 routes from Boston are offered to the traveler who 
 wishes to make this journey along the Mystic River. 
 One is by way of Medford, the excursionist taking a 
 Medford car at Scollay Square or the North Station, 
 and running out through Charlestown and over Win- 
 ter Hill, on the route of Paul Revere's historic ride. 
 The other is a longer trip, and the passenger takes an 
 Arlington car in the Subway or at Scollay Square, on 
 the surface. The ride to Arlington is through Cam- 
 bridge, the car passing through Harvard Square, with 
 the college buildings on the right, and then running 
 out Massachusetts Avenue through North Cambridge 
 to Arlington. Here a change is made to the car of 
 the Arlington & Winchester Street Railway, and the 
 line turns to the right, between the hills, and soon the 
 beautiful Mystic lakes are seen on the right, before the 
 car enters 
 
 WINCHESTER, a pretty town, with many old 
 residences, and more of the modern ones, where dwell

 many Boston business men. On the high hills to the 
 east of the town is the Middlesex Fells Reservation, 
 which is passed on the other side in another trip to 
 Lowell. From Winchester a branch line runs to 
 
 STONEHAM, going through a picturesque 
 rural country before reaching this busy shoe manufac- 
 turing village. From here cars run to Melrose, Wake-

 field, Reading and Woburn, Woburn Square being the 
 centre for all the car lines entering the city. The Wo- 
 burn car from Winchester runs northward, passing 
 many pretty bits of scenery along the Mystic River, 
 which is but a small stream compared with the swell- 
 ing river at its mouth. The car runs past farms and 
 market gardens before entering 
 
 ^VOBURN, which is noted for its great tanneries 
 and leather industries. It also contains much that is 
 of historic interest, and has a handsome public Library

 building, with other than bookish attractions. Going 
 from here to North Woburn, one passes, on the left, 
 the Baldwin place, where the famous Baldwin apples 
 originated, and farther on, as the car enters 
 
 NORTH WOBURN, it goes by the home of 
 Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, the famous 
 physicist and philosopher. The house is seen on the

 left. From Woburn the car runs across country again 
 to Reading, going by houses of the old Colonial style 
 and handsome villas of modern architecture. For the 
 greater part of the trip the ride is through a pretty 
 farming country. The car passes, on the way, the 
 famous Walnut Hill Rifle Range, the home of the 
 Massachusetts Ritle Association. Entering 
 
 READING, the car goes through the best part 
 of the town, where many Boston men live. Within a 
 short time an electric car line will be completed from

 Woburn to Lowell, going directly to Wilmington and 
 running by a more direct route than the other one 
 mentioned. It will also afford an opportunity to visit 
 Silver Lake, where the street railway company will 
 establish a pleasure park. The lake is already visited 
 by many excursionists from Lowell, and when the 
 facilities for reaching ii are increased, it is sure to be 
 patronized by thousands of pleasure-seekers, as the 
 natural beauties of the place are of the highest order.

From Boston to Lowell. 
 
 ONE may ride on the electric cars from Boston 
 through Lowell, clear to Nashua, N. H., while 
 there is a line running from Lowell down the 
 Merrimack Valley to the sea. Taking a Maiden car 
 in the Subway or at the North Union Station, where 
 it emerges from under ground, the line crosses the 
 Charles River and runs through Charlestown, past 
 Bunker Hill Monument, on the right, to Sullivan 
 Square. Here it turns to the right and runs across 
 Mystic Bridge, from which there are fine views of the 
 wide mouth of the Mystic River, with Winter Hill 
 off on the left. Then the car runs through Everett, 
 up hill and down, soon coming into Maiden Square, 
 
 MALDEN, where there is a notable group of 
 fine buildings. One of these is the First Baptist 
 Church, another the High School and the third the 
 brownstone Memorial Building, containing a Public 
 Library and an art gallery, the gift of E. S. Converse, 
 who also contributed to the erection of the other 
 buildings. Changing at Maiden Square to a Melrose 
 car, on the Lynn & Boston Street Railway, the way 
 leads out of the populated part of the city past Pine 
 Banks Park on the right, a pleasure ground open to 
 the people of Maiden and Melrose, and another 
 monument to the noble philanthropy of Mr. Converse, 
 
 185

 who here arranged one of the finest private pleasure 
 grounds in the country. A little beyond the park, 
 on the other side, may be seen the great works of 
 the Boston Rubber Shoe Company at the foot of the 
 Middlesex Fells Reservation, one of the great state 
 parks. Leaving Fells Station, the car enters 
 
 MELROSE, passing the Town Hall and pretty 
 Ell Pond. At Melrose Highlands the passenger 
 changes to the cars of the Wakefield and Stoneham 
 Street Railway. The car runs through the pretty 
 little village of Greenwood, with its many market 
 gardens, passing the Greenwood School on the right 
 and the railroad station on the left. Beyond here is 
 Crystal Lake, its banks bordered by attractive resi- 
 dences. As the car enters 
 
 WAKEFIELD, the Wakefield Home for Chil- 
 dren is passed, on the right, and then, on the same 
 side, the great Wakefield Rattan Works, the principal 
 industry. From Wakefield cars may be taken to 
 Lynn and also to Stoneham, an important shoe man- 
 ufacturing town. A line also runs to Peadody pass- 
 ing Suntaug Park. Leaving the city, the car runs in 
 the direction of Salem to North Saugus, on the route 
 to Lynn Woods. Here a turn is made to the left, 
 and a short run brings one to Lynnfield, within sight 
 of Suntaug Pond, on the shore of which the street 
 railway park is located. Before it was improved it 
 was popular with picnic parties, on account of its 
 clear water and wooded shores, but it has been 
 cleaned up and buildings have been erected. There 
 is a large bicycle stall at the entrance, and a dining 
 hall and dancing pavilion near the centre of the

 park, while there is a picnic house with tables, and 
 a boathouse on the lake, where may be found a 
 fleet of rowboats and an electric launch. A free 
 open-air theatre is largely patronized and vaude- 
 ville performances are given every afternoon and 
 evening on week days, with Sunday evening con- 
 certs. Bevond the park the line runs through a rural 
 country into Peabody, described elsewhere in this 
 Guide. At Wakefield a change is made to the cars 
 of the Reading & 
 Lowell Street Rail- 
 way. After pass- 
 ing the Town Hall 
 and post ofhce, the 
 car runs past the 
 Common in Wake- 
 field, located on 
 Lake Ouannapow- 
 itt, a beautiful sheet 
 of water, dotted 
 with yachts and 
 other small pleas- 
 ure boats. Along the shores of this lake the car 
 runs for nearly two miles, turning in and out, and 
 affording many delightful views. A run of a mile 
 from the lake brings one to Reading Square, in 
 
 READING, from which the standpipe and 
 Pumping Station of the waterworks are seen on the 
 right. Passing up Lowell Street and by the Reading 
 Cemetery, the car goes by the Reading Grammar 
 School. Leaving the town, the ride is through rural 
 country for some distance, and then the car enters 
 the residence district of 
 
 WAKEFIELD PUBLIC PARK. 
 
1 88 
 
 DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 WILMINGTON, passing the Wilmington Cem- 
 etery and the Walker School. Leaving the pretty 
 little town, it is a short run into the open country 
 again, where the car strikes the towpath of the al- 
 most forgotten Middlesex Canal, which connected 
 Boston and Lowell by a waterway in the early part 
 of the century. The picturesque and grass-grown 
 wasteways are seen at intervals. At Silver Street a 
 walk to the right brings one to another Silver Lake, 
 
 a popular sum- 
 mer resort. Fol- 
 lowing the canal 
 through the coun- 
 try, cattle are seen 
 grazing peaceful- 
 ly on the tow- 
 path, while the 
 electric car takes 
 one over one of 
 the largest cran- 
 berry bogs in the 
 state, and soon 
 comes to the swift 
 running Shawsheen River, where the massive gray 
 stone piers on the right are all that is left of what 
 was once the great double lock of the canal. After 
 a ride through fragrant pines and country roads, the 
 car goes through East Billerica and then past the 
 Billerica Cemetery and after a run through more 
 woods reaches an elevation from which, in clear 
 weather. Mount Tom and Mount Wachusett in Mas- 
 sachusetts and Mount Monadnock in New Hamp- 
 shire may be seen, while there is a fine nearer view 
 of Lowell and its vicinity. In the little village of 
 
 SHAWSHEEN RIVER. 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 1S9 
 
 BILLERICA, a change is made to the cars of 
 the Lowell and Suburban Street Railway, which soon 
 pass the Howe School and the residence of Senator 
 Joshua B. Holden. The car then runs through more 
 fields and forests, with glimpses of the Concord 
 River, and past a weather-beaten house marked by a 
 tablet as the former home of Asa Pollard, the first 
 man to fall at Bunker Hill. Crossing the Concord 
 River, and running through North Billerica, with its 
 great Talbot Chemical Works, the car goes through 
 North Chelmsford and enters 
 
 LOWELL. After passing the Fair Grounds 
 and the Butler School, on the right, the car runs on 
 Gorham Street, between the handsome new Court 
 House and the large Catholic Church. Farther down 
 the Street, the car passes the postofftce and Federal 
 Building on the left, and runs into Merrimack Square, 
 stopping in front of the Runels Building, the terminus 
 for all the car lines entering Lowell. 
 
 In going from Lowell to Nashua the line runs 
 across the Merrimac River, affording a fine view of 
 the great cotton mills, and soon reaches Lakeview 
 Park, a popular summer resort, where are many 
 attractions for travelers, a spacious pavilion, a 
 Zoological garden, a fleet of boats, and a steamer on 
 the lake, in addition to the usual park conveniences. 
 From the park the line runs through the woods and 
 field, past farms and pastures, crossing the river once 
 more before entering the New Hampshire city of 
 Nashua. 
 
 In addition to the various lines out of the city, 
 described elsewhere, there are many pleasant rides 
 in the city of Lowell itself. The Pawtucket car takes

 one through the business district and up the bank 
 of the Merrimac ; the Westford Street car takes one 
 to Lowell Highlands, from which there is a wide 
 view, but the most extensive view can be had by 
 taking a Fort Hill Park car running through Belvi- 
 dere and the fine residence district to Fort Hill Park, 
 from the summit of which there is a view for miles in 
 every direction.

Down the Merrimac Valley. 
 
 ALONG the route of the electric cars, down the 
 Merrimac Valley, the ride is through a country 
 made famous by the pen of Whittier, and which 
 in addition to natural charms, presents a succession 
 of busy cities and towns. l"he start is from Merrimac 
 square and Tiridge street, in Lowell, the car running 
 between the great cotton mills for which the city is 
 world-famous. The view of the mills at dusk, with 
 their mile of lighted windows, is a striking one. After 
 crossing the river, the car runs along the higii bank, 
 after turning to the right, giving a good view of Hunt's 
 Falls. 
 
 Across the river is the beautiful residence district 
 of Lowell, Belvidere. Passing through Ellsmere, in 
 the tovv'n of Dracut, there is a view of Tewksbury, 
 over the river, and as the car runs through the little 
 hamlet of Kenwood and reaches V^arnum's Landing, 
 the Hood Stock Farm is seen on the other side. This 
 is a favorite summer resort, and has a little ferry, and a 
 steamer line running to Lawrence. The car leaves the 
 thoroughfare to run along the river bank over private 
 property for eight miles before coming to Glen Forest, 
 on the right, a pleasure park for the people of Lowell 
 and Lawrence. The wooded shores, smooth waters

 and pine groves are supplemented by attractions pro- 
 vided by the Lowell, Lawrence & Haverhill Street 
 Railway Co., which owns the park. The place is es- 
 pecially noted for its holiday fireworks displays. It is 
 only a short run from here to 
 
 GLEN FOREST. 
 
 LAWRENCE, one of the greatest cotton manu- 
 facturing cities in the world. Among its mills one 
 alone employs 3600 operatives. A great canal runs 
 through the city, the Merrimac River furnishing water 
 power by means of a dam a thousand feet long and 
 twenty-eight feet fall. Lawrence is a great railway 
 centre, with side lines to Methuen, North Andover 
 and Andover, in addition to the city lines and the main 
 line down the Merrimac Valley. 
 
 The car to Andover starts from the corner of 
 Broadway and Essex streets, and passes, on the left, 
 the Pacific Mills, and as the river is crossed, affords a 
 fine view of the dam. Running through South Law-

 rence, with its stone-cutting and other industries, the 
 state highway is traversed from the Andover Hne, 
 through Frye Village and over the Shawshine River 
 with its factories. As the car enters 
 
 ANDOVER, it passes the Post Office, Memorial 
 Hall, and the Public Library, in Andover Square. 
 The town was founded in 1643, ^-"^ passed through 
 the terror of Indian warfare and the Salem Witchcraft. 
 Yet it has been a place of learning. Beyond the square 
 are the buildings and grounds of Abbott Seminary, 
 founded in 1829, and on Main street, at No. 147, 
 "America" was written. The buildings of Phillips An- 
 dover Academy, founded in 1778, are on the right, and 
 on the left is the Andover Theological Seminary, 
 founded in 1808. Near by is the Mansion House, 
 once the home of Harriet Beecher Stowe. 
 
 NORTH ANDOVER is reached by another 
 electric line from Lowell, the car crossing the river 
 some distance below the dam. Here are the houses 
 which were the homes of Anne Bradstreet, the first 
 poet of the Merrimac Valley, Moody Bridges of the 
 First Provincial Congress, Dr. Thos. Kittredge, and 
 six succeeding generations of physicians, and Phillips 
 Brooks, Wendell Phillips and Dr. Oliver Wendell 
 Holmes. 
 
 METHUEN is on a third line of electric cars 
 from Lawrence. The town rises on the hills back of 
 Lawrence, and the summit is crowned by the Nevins 
 Memorial Library and a Soldiers and Sailors' Monu- 
 ment given to the town by C. H. Tenney, whose fine 
 estate, "Greycourt," is here. In the First Church is 
 LaFarge's masterpiece, "The Resurrection Morning." 
 
ig4 DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 Resuming the journey down the Merrimac, a 
 change is made at the corner of Broadway and Essex 
 street, to the Haverhill car, the way leading past the 
 Common, the City Hall and Court House on the left 
 and through the business district. Crossing the 
 Spicket Kiver the car goes through a corner of Me- 
 thuen. 
 
 Going through Kenwood Village, the car passes 
 the great Russell Celery farm, from which a good view 
 is had of Ward Hill in Bradford, on the right. Fol- 
 lowing the river, the old red barn on the Bradley 
 Farm, once a tavern, is passed, and running past Brad- 
 ford Neck and Mitchell's Falls the car enters 
 
 HAVERHILL, reaching the terminus at Wash- 
 ington Square. This is the centre for all cars running 
 out of the city, for besides the line down the river, there 
 are branches to Georgetown and West Newbury, 
 which may well be taken up before continuing on the 
 main line. Taking a car at the corner of Bridge and 
 Merrimac streets, the route is across the Merrimac to 
 Ward's Hill, and then into the town of 
 
 BRADFORD, passing the old Bradford Common 
 to the right Then the car runs by the old cemetery 
 and the Peabody School on the left. In Bradford is an 
 academy for girls, occupying a commanding site on a 
 hill. Founded in 1803, this institution has been noted 
 as a nursery of foreign missionaries and missionaries' 
 v/ives. Here, also, is the Dudley Carleton House, used 
 for prisoners in the Revolution. From Temple Hill 
 there is a fine view of the Merrimac and Haverhill. 
 Continuing on, there is a pleasant ride through mead- 
 ows into 
 
DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUID£.

 SOUTH GROVELAND, where a road leads 
 from Parker's corner to Johnson's Pond. To take 
 this ride it is necessary to walk a short distance to the 
 little steamer which will take one to the Grove, a great 
 pleasure resort, with provision for boating and other 
 outdoor sports, concerts and theatrical entertainments. 
 
 From South Groveland the car runs through two 
 miles or more of woodland in the centre of which is a 
 beautiful little lake called Rock Pond, covered with 
 pond lilies, and teeming with pickerel and black bass. 
 From this leads a little stream into another lake called 
 Pentucket Pond, which may be seen to the left after 
 passing the Weston crossing of the Boston & Maine 
 Railroad. This lake is surrounded by a beautiful 
 growth of pines called Yacht Club Grove, where are a 
 pavilion, dancing hall and private picnic grounds. Be- 
 yond this comes 
 
 GEORGETOWN, the terminus of the line which 
 
 will be extended south ultimately to connect with 
 
 North Shore lines. This is a manufacturing town, 
 
 making" boots, shoes and carriages. It was one of the 
 
 main stations on the old road from Danvers to New- 
 
 buryport. On the ride from Haverhill down the South 
 
 bank of the river to West Newbury and Newburyport 
 
 the car runs past the old Spiller Garrison house on the 
 
 left, built in 1690, out of bricks brought from England. 
 
 Beyond, on the left, is the old Powder House, built 
 
 in the war of 1 8 1 2 . Then comes the almshouse on the 
 
 right, and then the car passes Riverside Park and goes 
 
 over the river, where the steamer takes on its 
 
 passengers from the opened drawbridge. Going 
 
 into 
 
196 DERRAH'S STREET RAILWAY GUIDE. 
 
 GROVELAND, the car passes Perry Park on the 
 left, and then, on the Merrimac banks, comes to the 
 great pleasure ground known as the Pines. Here are 
 boats, swings, a dancing hall, pavilion, and an electri- 
 cal fountain. Here a change is made to another line 
 which runs to 
 
 WEST NEWBURY. Off to the right is 
 Brown's Hill, from which may be seen a panorama of 
 farms and villages, while the eye may follow the broad 
 Merrimac until it is lost in the dim blue of the Atlantic, 
 as it runs on into Newburyport, the terminus. 
 
 HAVERHILL, founded in 1640, and now second 
 only to Lynn in the manufacture of shoes, is best seen 
 by taking the electric line running to Merrimac. 
 Boarding the car in Washington Square, the line runs 
 through the residence district into Monument Square, 
 past the Soldiers' Monument, the Universalist Church 
 and the residence of Edward Gale, who gave to the 
 city Gale Park, on the right bordering on Lake Salton- 
 stall. 
 
 Beyond here the car passes Kenoza Lake, on the 
 right, on which is another city park. On the opposite 
 side of the park the car passes the Haverhill City Hos- 
 pital and the city Pumping Station. Beyond, on the 
 left, is Kenoza Trotting Park, and running on, to Co- 
 lumbia Heights, the highest point of land in Essex 
 County, there is a glorious view of the Merrimac Val- 
 ley.

 goes through Main Street into Merrimac Square. 
 
 MERRIMAC. From here there are two lines to 
 the sea. Going on to Salisbury Beach the car climbs 
 
 WHITTIER'S BIRTHPLACE. 
 
 Pond Hill, from which the stock farm of E. Moody 
 Boynton, inventor of the bicycle railroad, is seen on 
 the right, in West Newbury. Halfway down the hill is 
 the Thomas Chellis house, built in 1695, and from the 
 street railway turnout just beyond a road runs off to 
 Lake Attitash, a popular summer resort. Passing the 
 castle built by Sir Edward Thornton, on the right, and 
 going by the Union Cemetery, where Whittier is 
 buried, the line runs into the highlands of 
 
 AMESBURY, the home of the poet from 1840 
 until his death. From here a line runs to Scab rook

 Hampton, Hampton Beach and Exeter, N. H. In 
 going to these places it is best to take the cars at 
 Market Square in Amesbury. The passenger is car- 
 ried along Market street, and a turn to the right 
 takes one past the car house of the company. At 
 the next turn, which is to the left, the line runs into 
 the open country, wnth its well-kept houses and beau- 
 tiful farms. Crossing a part of Salisbury, the car 
 
 HARKLR MOUSE, SEABROOi;, 
 
 enters the pretty little village of Seabrook, where the 
 line from Newburyport also comes in. Coming into 
 the old post road between Newburyport and Exeter, 
 one passes, on the left, the old Parker House, a 
 famous old road house which is now much fre- 
 quented by bicycle riders and trolley excursionists. 
 A little beyond here is a neat white house, oh the 
 right, where Whittier once lived. Then the car runs 
 into the pretty village of Hampton Falls, after leav-

 ing which a fine view is had of Hampton Beach, off 
 to the left over the marshes. As the car enters 
 
 HAMPTON, it passes the General Moulton 
 house and the Tappan or Garrison house and 
 runs between the giant oaks which furnish shade 
 much of the way, into the little square where the 
 Whittier Hotel, known in the stage coach days as 
 the Union House, is located. This was "the half-way 
 house of the stage line from Newburyport to Ports- 
 mouth. 
 
 From this point a line runs off to the right to 
 Hampton Beach, a ride of some three miles over the 
 shore. Hampton Beach is a famous one, and as the 
 car enters it, the Great Boar's Head, that curious 
 natural formation, and the life-saving station, are 
 seen off to the left. The street railway company is 
 making an extension to this line, and before the end 
 of this summer will run over the extreme end of 
 Hampton Beach to Boar's Head, nearly five miles 
 along the -.vater's edge. The company is also build- 
 ing a large pavilion in which there will be a dancing 
 hall, bowling alley, dining room, etc., with a thou- 
 sand square feet of verandas on the first and second 
 stories. 
 
 From Hampton to Exeter the ride is a pleasant 
 one, passing through a prosperous farming country 
 with beautiful landscapes on either side. The dis- 
 tance is about eight miles, and after going through 
 the rural scenery of the New Hampshire seacoast, 
 the car enters 
 
 EXETER, in which the inmiense oaks are every- 
 where prominent. The car runs to the railroad

 road station, and then going by the famous Phillips 
 Exeter Academy, one of the oldest and most im- 
 portant of the American preparatory schools ; the 
 Town Hall and Public Library and the Court House, 
 located on a square, giving one an excellent idea of 
 Exeter and its public institutions. 
 
 Amesbury is a great carriage manufacturing town, 
 and after passing the Hamilton Mills on the way to 
 Salisbury Beach the car goes over carriage Hill, past 
 the factories, and by the Friends' Meeting House and 
 soon enters 
 
 SALISBURY, where the Passaconaway Indians 
 once held great feasts, as is attested by heaps of 
 clam shells. The car runs on through East Salis- 
 bury to 
 
 SALISBURY BEACH, which, with its six-mile 
 strip of sand, offers some of the best bathing on the 
 Atlantic Coast. From the broad veranda of the 
 Cushing Hotel may be seen the Hampton River and 
 the Isle of Shoals. 
 
 From Amesbnry, as well as from Merrimac, elec- 
 trics run to Newburyport and Newbury Old Town. 
 Taking a car at Market Square, in Amesbury, the 
 route passes, on the left, "The Captain's Well." 
 
 Passing through a farming coiuitry, the car goes 
 by the brick Old Ladies' Home, on the left, the birth- 
 place of Josiah P.artlett. Crossing the Merrimac, the 
 car runs along the banks and recrosses on the "Chain 
 Bridge," erected in 1792 and replaced in 1810. On 
 Deer Island, over which the bridge runs, is the home

 of Harriett Prescott Spofford. Passing the old ship- 
 yards, the car soon runs into 
 
 NEWBURYPORT, at the mouth of the Merri- 
 mac, reaching the terminus at Market Square, near 
 which was the home of "Goody Morse," convicted of 
 witchcraft. On the ride to Newbury Old Town, the 
 car taken at the corner of State and Pleasant streets 
 passes the Catholic Rurying Ground on the left, Atkin- 
 son Common, the Home for Aged Men, the Pillsbury 
 
 CHAIN BRIDGE. 
 
 Place, once the home of Edward Rawson, secretary of 
 the Massachusetts Bay Colony for many years, and 
 the home of Lord Timothy Dexter. 
 
 In Brown Sciuare, given to the city by Moses 
 Brown, in 1802, is the statue of William Lloyd Garri- 
 son. The City Hall is across the street. Before turn- 
 ing into State street the car passes the meeting house 
 of the First Religious Society. The car goes by the 
 Public Library, once the Tracy House, the Y. M. C. 
 A. building and the Whitefield Congregational 
 Church. Turning into High street there is a view of

 Washington Park, on the right. Along High street 
 the car runs into 
 
 NEWBURY OLD TOWN, passing the Ilsley 
 Hou.se, bnilt in 1670, and coming to "Trayneing 
 Green," on the right. Here camped the soldiers in the 
 Quebec Expedition under Benedict Arnold in 1775, 
 and beyond on the left may be seen the chimneys of 
 the Spencer-Pierce House, also called the Garrison 
 House. Newbury Old Town has had many famous 
 citizens. The terminus of the line is at Oldtown, a 
 pretty summer resort on the Parker River. 
 
 OLD SOUTH CHURCH, NEWBURYPORT 
 
 PLUM ISLAND is reached by another electric 
 line from Newburyport. The cars, from Market 
 Square, pass a stone post at Middle and Independence 
 streets, on which is a bombshell brought from Louis- 
 burg. At vSchool street the Old South Church is pass- 
 ed, under which is buried the great preacher George 
 Whitefield. Next to the church is the house where 
 William I-loyd Garrison was born, and it is only a 
 short run frou) here over the marshes to Plum Island. 
 
Through the Lake Region. 
 
 FROM Bridgewater southward a line runs through 
 the lake region of Massachusetts to the inter- 
 esting city of New Bedford. The route after 
 leaving the town of Bridgewater, runs through a 
 farming country, with old farmhouses along the way 
 and glimpses of meadow, field and forest scenery. 
 After crossing Sawmill Brook and the Taunton 
 River, the car enters 
 
 TITICUT, where the Massachusetts State Farm 
 is one of the principal attractions. There are many 
 fine residences in the town, which is a favorite resort 
 for sportsmen. Leaving this and running through 
 North Middleboro, which is devoted largely to shoe 
 manufacture, the car goes on into 
 
 MIDDLEBORO, a prosperous town with varied 
 manufactures, an academy, a handsome Town Hall 
 and a Public Library building. East of here are the 
 great Plymouth Woods, while the journey goes south- 
 ward between the great Lakeville Ponds. Soon 
 after leaving the town the car comes to 
 
 LAKEVILLE, within sight of Assawompsett 
 Pond, which is the largest body of fresh water in the 
 state, comprising from six to eight square miles. On 
 the shores of this pond Captain Dermer was received 
 by the Wampanoag Indian sachems in 1619, and 
 here the treacherous Chief Corbitant after re- 
 volting against Massasoit in 1 62 1 , siezed the Plymouth

 envoys, and was punished by an expedition from 
 Plymouth under Miles Standish. South of Assa- 
 wompsett is Great Quittacus Pond, while on the 
 other side of the electric railway, stretching along for 
 several miles, is Long Pond. The ponds all abound 
 in fish, and the ride along their banks on the electric 
 cars is a beautiful one. On the shores of this pond 
 the street railway company has established a park, 
 which is now in process of improvement. The park 
 is surrounded by attractive landscapes, with the 
 sandy shores of the lake affording an opportunity for 
 fresh water bathing, while there are groves, swings, 
 rustic benches, a dining pavilion, merry-go-rounds, 
 two band stands, a rustic theatre, a bowling alley, 
 and as a special feature, provision for water polo, for 
 diving and other aquatic sports, while a fleet of 
 boats will be put on the lake. Going on from the 
 park the railway runs through another farming coun- 
 try, along the Acushnet River and through the 
 village of Acushnet coming into 
 
 NEW BEDFORD, a famous old seaport which 
 has much of interest to show the visitor. This was 
 once the greatest whaling port in the world. This 
 was a " nest of privateers " in the revolution, and the 
 town was burned by a British force under Clinton in 
 1778. The old whaling wharve are well worth a 
 visit. There are several electric car rides in New- 
 edford, one of the most interesting being that to 
 
 FAIRHAVEN and old Fort Phoenix, situated 
 out on the point of land which guards the harbor. 
 The ride is a pleasant one, and near the terminus 
 passes the splendid grounds and residence of Henry 
 H. Rogers, the Standard Oil magnate.

 . Rowley . 
 
 Contains many sights of interest. It was settled in 1638, by a nomadic 
 church led l:iy Ezekiel Rogers, who had been the non-conformist 
 pastor of a church in Rowley, England. The pastor of the church, 
 upon his death in 1650, left his library to Harvard College. The first 
 cloth made in x\merica was turned out in the mills erected by these 
 immigrants. Today the town is principally noted for the manufacture 
 of canoes. Here is located the manufacturing establishment of 
 
 C. B. Mather & Co. 
 
 On Depot Street, 
 
 where are turned out, annually, 
 hundreds of 
 
 Canoes and Boats. 
 
 The business is rapidly growing, and the firm has been obliged to 
 increase its facilities recently by the addition of a new shop 100 feet 
 long, which, with the original establishment, will be devoted exclu- 
 sively to the manufacture of boats and canoes, to be sent from here to 
 all parts of the world, another triumph of Yankee enterprise and skill. 
 An electric line will shortly be in operation from Rowley across the 
 Parker River r.nd go past Byfield to Newburyport or to Georgetown 
 and Haverhill.
