When class was finished to-day at 12 o’clock, we had a practice-match with the North Monastery in their field for the under-17 years league. Though hurley is a good game, it is a dangerous one, and when hulks of fellows get cross, and begin to ‘swipe’, some bad blows can be received. On the whole, however, the match went off all right. I was playing, too, and got on fairly well. Came home dead tired, and went after dinner to Arthur. Found Aunt Elsa enthusiastic about gardening. She is very good, and is doing a lot of propaganda for Mammie’s concert, besides buying tickets herself. There is a danger, according to to-day’s paper, of Japan coming to grips with Russia over China. There has been nothing but fighting in the far east for a long time. It is impossible to discriminate the different war-lords. Finished ex. And read ‘Europe of to-day’, plus some stamp mounting this evening.
