Henry & I took 9.45 trolley car to
Concord. After walking through Sleepy 
Hollow Cemetery & viewing the Melvin 
Memorial there we drove in a public
carriage to the Gold Club where by a lucky
chance we found Mr. Bradford, President
of the club. He was most kind entering
Henry as a guest & then playing a course
with him, I following them. Mr. B's [Bradford's] 
daughter drew up & we were presented to
her. We returned to Ball's Hill at
noon. At 3 P.M. we started up river
in the canoes. At Big Lagoon we saw an
adult [male] Red-wing in a maple & flushed
a Wood Duck from the reeds. One ad. [adult] [male]
Marsh Hawk passed us there. Kept on to 
Hunt's Pond, then sailed back. Several
big flocks of Titlarks circling about. Got
home before dark.
