shing and interesting. A suspension bridge links up WAREHOUSE POINT withWindsor Locks, or the west side of the Connecticut. A milewalk. At WAREHOUSE POINT connection is made with Rockville. Our car leaves Warehouse Point and ascends the ridge, whichruns parallel v/ith the river and about one-half mile from it.We view to the left the river and to the right a fertile countrywith the mountains of Somers for a background. Across theriver gleams Suffields white church spire. We are soon in ENFIELD STREET, a typical New Englandvilage. Very restful and pleasing it is, with its broad Greenshaded by fine trees, its white church and its well-kept houses. At MATHEWSONS CORNER the line to Somers branches off. THOMPSONVILLE, the next point on our ride, is a busy manu-facturing town, widely known as the home of the HartfordCarpet Company. Soon after leaving the town we are on theMassachusetts State line. The country, which has been quitelevel, becomes hilly and lends a pleasing variety to the trip.
