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

FOR
Scranton and the Lackawanna valley
that greeted their eyes.
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.
