was dining in. We prowled around the grounds all the after noon and had a lot of fun with Corby and stopped and interviewed any one who would talk to him. One was a fellow demonstrating wooden arms and hands and another was showing off safety razors. I went over to the Model Comp and saw Hazen for a few minutes and also saw a couple of boxing bouts between Canadian & Yankee soldiers. There was a whole battalion of Yankees downthere. We went back to Vernon's for tea - our best dinner and the night. Frank went to a Charlie Chaplin show and I went down town and drifted into Britnels book store where I spent the whole evening. Friday morning we went down town and did some shopping and then went over to the Milman's office and Clem took us up to the top of the Royal Bank building to see the city and then over to the Dominion bank to see the 40 ton door of the vaults and Jessie Kirt land and Paddy O'Flynn. We had lunch at Rap but had to leave right after it to catch our 2.15 boat for Hamilton. The other three were waiting for us and we all came home to-gether getting in last night on the nine o'clock car. Dick and Dad. hauled
