and then we went to get some {illegible} for sandwichs and to hunt up some body to take us to the band picnic on Monday. We went down to Ben's Summer Garden which was packed and there found Charlie Blake who had no one to take with him to the picnic and on that account had not intended going but he said he would take us, so Dorrie had a dance with him and then we came home rather late. Sunday August 21st Marj. Dorrie and I went to Sunday school and Dad. & Enah went down church. I walked home but Mr. Lamb drove Mr. Clarke over here after church in his car and the girls came over with him. We didn't do much but lie around this after noon except Marj. Dorrie, Tim & I went down to take a picture of Jack's deer. There was a great crowd down there looking at them. Enah went down town to tea as she had to play to day. Alan Law was in to-night to invite one of us down there to thrash to-morrow, which was rather provoking as Dad. had figured on plowing while I was at the band picnic, however I guess he will have to go to thrash Monday August 22nd We got every thing done up in good time this morning and Dad. started for Sam's and was down there all day Charlie Blake came along about 9.30 and picked Marj. Dorrie several baskets cameras coats my horn Marj's knitting & me and we set sail for Fisher's Glen. We called around at the town hall where the rest of the boys were congregated to see if there was any one else wanted to go with us. We found that Mrs. Doc. Lemmons had decided not to go on account of lack of accomodation so we went up there. She called the girls in to make sandwichs for her and after a great deal of flurry & fluster on their part and calm patient waiting on Charlie's & mine we got away and after a very nice drive arrived at the Glen first of all with Carl Colman hard on our trail. It was an ideal day and every body had a good time. I would have had a better time if they hadn't made me play baseball but as there was a great game scheduled between the heavy and light horns I had to take my place. We played about nine or ten innings with an indoor ball
