GFOSS, FOSTER & Co.'s WAIT OPENING THEJOUIMRD Fine Roadway to Elmhurst Inspected by Scrantonians. NOT YET ENTIRELY COMPLETED Delay About Bridge Over Noy Aug Falls Is the Couso Names of Those Who Enjoyed the Spin Over the Road. The opening of the Elmhurst boule vard yesterday afternoon was an event that was enjoyed by numerous society people of Scranton and lovers of horse flesh generally. Although the elements were not propitious to pleasure driving, the people who have been anxiously watah!ng the building of the Ideal driveway during the past summer, eagerly availed themselves of the op portunity to speed over the delightful thoroughfare that has been built upon the mountain tops between this city and the charming summer home town. At 2 o'clock, the hour designated for the pleasure procession to move, nearly one hundred vehicles freighted with ladies and gentlemen were lined up on Washington avenue in readiness for the drive. Owing to the trouble that has de layed the building of the bridge at Nay Aug falls, It was neccossdry to And a new approach to the boulevard, and permission had been obtained of the Pennsylvania Coal company to utilize one of the old gravity road tracks as a roadway to the top of Nay Aug tunnel Where the boulevard Is reached. The Procession Moves. At the appointed hour the gay pro cession of handsome turnouts moved up over the Petersburg hill headed by J. L. Crawford driving a Bpan of spirit ed bays that were amply qualified to lead the parade. Crossing the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western tracks near "Little England," the prancing Steeds' easily threaded the wlndlna pathway up the mountain side and were soon upon the boulevard level. After the climb at Nay Aug tunnel pnere are no grades to speaK of between fc'pranton ahd Elmhurst, ,and as the ctWiveyances rolled easily over the road way around the MoobIo peak opposite NoP, the excursionists were lost In admlhstion of the magnificent views of !T SEEMS TOO SMALL to dc any good, when you look at one ot Dr. Piorce's Pleasant Pellets.

About a mile from Nay Aug falls the party came to a half mile stretch or road sixty feet in width which had been rolled to the finish of asphalt. This, Mr. urawrora explained, is one of the "speeding" grounds where ambitious drivers may test their steeds. At this, point a kite shaped one-half mile track has been surveyed on the mountain top, and will be built ns soon as the work on the boulevard Is finished. Cheering the Stars end Stripes. At the camp of Italian road builders near by the Stars and Stripes floated from a wire stretched across the road, and from many sappllnKS at the road side. The enthusiasm of the pleasure seekers gave vent In loud cheering as the vehicles passed under the banner. Beyond the camp the finished road was reached, and as the roadsters trotted around the sharp curves at this point with Nay Aug and Roaring Brook sev eral hundred feet below them, the spir its of both horse and driver seemed to rise in unison, and in a minute or two there was a free-for-all race down the road, In which nearly every driver seemed anxious to lead. As the proces sion whirled past the handsome new toll house mnny of the drivers on heav ily freighted vehicles pulled In their horses and left the track clear. Levi Patterson, of Carbondale: Lon Payne, J. Frank Selgel and other drivers of blooded stock, availed them selves of the clear roadway and soon disappeared over the hill leading down iu iMmnursc No stop was made at Elmhurst. as the hotel -Is closed for the season. The teams were turned homeward after a drive about the Schoonmaker plot, and me racing mania seemed to again take firm hold of every one who held the rib bons. When one considers that the roundabout approach to. the Boulevard made the distance from Scranton to Elmhurst and return nearly twenty miles; and that much time was con sumed In passing over the gravity road approach and the Petersburg hills, and that the entire trip was made In two and one-half hours, some Idea of the time made by the flyers on the main road can be gained. The excursion ists returned loud In their praise of the road and the enterprising citizens to whom Scrantonians are indebted for the unsurpassed driveway. Members of the Party.
