A horse roller began to roll the Enclosure gravel to-day. Jut and I went down by the brook and I caught a garter snake and took up to Bodman's and scared the girls. Jack Wilson came along and charmed the snake. Mrs. Bodman was having tea in the house with some high school teachers. We saw some little smucks and we chased them. Once I went after them and some big toughs popped and chased us. We sat on the porch and did not dare to come up. I ran faster than I ever did and could win a race.

I went to the Durbar in Kinemacolor in Newark this afternoon with Pa and Dan.  The coronation Durbar of King George V and Queen Mary.  The color was loud and there were Indian natives decorating things.  The king, queen and bunch of royalties.  There were proc [[strikethrough]] c [[/strikethrough]] essions, parades and finely drilled and dressed troops.  We saw the royal encampment and a great English  cavalry and artillery drill.  That was great.  There was a swell horse race.  We saw the cup and the King's crown.  The elephants were washed in the river and that was funny.  We saw the natives preparing for the Durbar.  They trimmed the elephants like king's and the final review of 50,000 troops.  Soldiers all over the landscape.  We saw a great lot of cavalry.
