Thursday September 7th

Daddy got me up about five o'clock and we did the chores. Then we hussled for all we were worth through breakfast and down to the train. We thought we were going to miss it but when we got there we watied about five or ten minutes before she started. We arrived at the Exibition grounds about 10 or 11 and were on the dead run about, all day till 3.30 p.m., and then did not see nearly all the stuff. But what we did see was great. The Widespred had a very fine exhibit of crates chests and wardrobes. There was a very large number of cattle on show. We got home about half past nine and well about frozen. It rained quite hard here about six so they tell us. Huby was to have come over here and milked but he did not get over till after six and Dick had the cows nearly milked. {Margin note} The trains were very crowded but we managed to get seats all the way.Every body on thne way up was talking reciprocityand rthere were very few that seemed to {illegible} for it and they did not seem very shure whether they ought to be or not.Nice cool day. and a littlerain about half past three on.
