three when we started for Hilton Av. and the ravine.  Near the house I found
specimens of Geum flavum and on the path to Hilton Av. Veronica Virginica.
We entered the ravine by way of the open field and Camp Run.  After a few
moments stop, we went to Thunderstorm spring.  Mr. W. thinks it our
best spring.  We find that it is very close to the Bluff.  We went
though the ravine to the railroad tracks.  Podophyllum peltatum has
now ripened fruit and the leaves of the plant are beginning to disappear.
When we reached the tracks we walked along them to Ilchester.  Close
to our ravine we found Clitoria Mariana in bloom. At Ilchester
we took the Thistle Glen R'd which took us to Frederick R'd.  It 
was about ½ past 7 when we reached the terminus.  At the intersection
of Thistle Glen and Frederick Roads we found a damson tree laden with
fruit.  During the afternoon, it was very sultry, notwithstanding, it
was not as uncomfortable as we found it on our last trip in June.
The car reached the city after 8 o'clock and the illuminations
were in full blast.  Baltimore St was all aglow from Eaton
St. to Gay St.  The lights had been turned on in honor of the
Elks who were making Baltimore their convention city.  Throngs
of people were on the streets.
