M. and I went over to Owosso in p.m. In eve we drove down after the boys and had a circus. "Curtains, sofa pillows, and candy." "Rat." Donald came home with us to do the chores and we took him back. Aunt Minnie and children and Grandma stopped for a few minutes towards evening. Chilt over in a.m. and told our fortunes. Great.

Rained all night. Went downtown in p.m. and intended to go to Owosso but Charlie wouldn't stand so we drove around by Kerby home. The boys called up in eve.

Transcriber's notes:
I don't know who Charlie is. Maybe Charlie is the horse, except the rest of the time Grace refers to the horse as "the horse".
The Kerby family owned a lot of property in Caledonia Township. The nearest cross street to the Rose farm is today called Kerby Road.

Walter and Earl came up after dinner with a double carriage and we drove to Bancroft to the Mason vs Pythian ball game. 15 to 9 in the K.P.'s favor. Great game. "The girl on the ladder." "I'm Mr. Brown." Ha! Ha! We rode on the back seat coming home. Came nearly getting lost. Took the team back to Owosso and took the car as far as Derhams where we got the rig and Martha and I came home alone so that we could keep the horse. Rained like sixty on the way to Owosso and home. Got here at 11:30.

W.C., Hattie, and I went over to Owosso in a.m. to see a wild west show parade but they had not come yet so we came back. I went to Grandma's for dinner and afterwards to the drugstore for a little while. In evening Earl and I intended to go to the show but it was so tough that Hattie, Winnie, Earl, and I took in the theatoriums. W.C. lost her pocketbook but we found it again. Rained awful hard so we got home quite early. Earl and Winnie felt foolish coming home.
