and also at Wilkins Av. the railroad is obliged to cross under
the road-way, whether they will tunnel here or build bridges
across their road remains to be seen.  At any rate at Wilkins Av.
they have already built a temporary bridge.  The trip from the 
stockyards to Columbia Av. was not very pleasant, for aside from
the disagreeable stench the railroad company has in many places
made the path almost impassable.  I reached Columbia Av. about
noon, I had intended visiting the ponds in that neighborhood
but decided to defer it until later.

November 14, 1903.  With Mr. W. to the ravine.  We had planned
to go to Indian Landing but Mr. W's car was delayed by a coal
cart, he, therefore, reached the station just a few seconds before the
time.  The ticket-agent said we had still half a minute and
sold us the tickets but when we reached the gate, it was closed 
and we saw the train pulling out of the station.  We, therefore, decided
to visit our ravine.  It was now after nine o'clock, for to-day
we had thought we would take the second train.  It was, therefore, about
half past ten when we reached the terminus.  It had been raining, so
we had our unbrellas, but now it had stopped and by the time
we entered the ravine it was clearing, at noon the sun was shining.
