he was at it all day and finished up to-night. I didn't do any thing much this morning but drove Enah and Tid. down to the L.E.&N. tracks where they embarked with the rest of the family for Scotland to attend the silver wedding anniversary of Cousin Harry & Lizzy Langs. Dad. walked down to Aunty's a little before with some cream and came up to the car wth Aunty she being the only representative from that household. All of Huby's family went but Winnie, and Cousin Clare represented the Langs portion of the family in Dover. They came back on the five o'clock car all except Huby who had to go back after his hat and who brought Clark Langs and Marion his daughter down with him on the nine o'clock car. They had a great time and a very hot day and I guess there was an army of folks there. I spent the after noon cocking hay north of the orchard but didn't finish. Roy came down to-night with the bunch from Brantford. I went down to the dance to-night. I intended going to the picture show first but ran into the Miss Dunkin's and they wanted to go to the dance right away so I went with them, we picked Clark up over there and had a hot time of it. I hardly missed a dance but it nearlyu,killed me, the lake flies were bad too. Frank and Enah went down to the show. Another very hot day.
