ist directly into the business centre of the town, and thus the circle is completed. A number of highly enjoyable drives radiate from Manches ter. One of the most interesting is to follow School street to the town of Essex-a delightful wheel run for the rambling 'cyclist; the road, after getting away from the vicinity of the dwelling houses, is bordered on either side with a thickly growing native forest, and the road surface is one of the finest for the rubbertired wheel. A turn-off on this road at Pleasant street, on the left, will take one through a thick wood to the famous Chebacco House at the Lakes in Hamilton; but this trip cannot be recommended as a pleasing bicycle run, for the way is rough and has a continuous run of short and long steep hills. PART III. I-MISCELLANEOUS. The hotels at Gloucester, especially recommended to the wheelman tourist and the Summer visitor, are as follows: GLOUCESTER HOTEL, on the corner of Main and Washington streets, is the regularly appointed headquarters for the C. T. C. and L. A. W. fraternity. The proprietor of the house is Mr. George L. Smith-a warm friend of the touring 'cyclist and a genial and painstaking host, who will exert his utmost to please his guests. Terms are $1.50 to $2.00 per day, with a discount of 25 per cent. from these prices to wheelmen. Large parties of wheelmen intending to visit Gloucester, should telegraph this hotel the day before, that the proprietor may have everything in readiness for them upon their arrival. PAVILION HOTEL, on Western avenue, fronting the harbor, is under the management of Mr. William P. Davis-a landlord well known to former patrons of the Carleton and Everett Houses, at Jacksonville, Florida, and the Crescent Beach Hotel at Magnolia. Mr. Davis has fitted up this hotel with all the modern improvements, and is entitled to a share of the season's business. BASS' ROCK HOUSE, at Bass Rocks, is conducted this year under the able management of Mr. F. H. Nunns (of the Quincy House, Boston). It is the L. A. W. headquarters for that section of the city; wheelmen are right at home under this hospitable roof; every room, of the seventy in the house, commands a magnificent view of land and water scenery. Terms are: for June and September, $2.00 per day; July and August, $3.00 per day. Transients, $3.50 per day. Special rates to wheelmen, according to length of visit, made known on application.
