Scope and content
Rain has stopped cricket for some time but it has stopped raining now and they have been able to practice. Has never seen the Backs looking so luxurious. Has been to see a sermon by Benson, the Archbishop of Canterbury and notes 'the tremendous crush at getting in'. Was unimpressed by the sermon, though thought it 'sensible and pretty liberal'. Failed to see Bradlaugh (Charles Bradlaugh) speak as it cost 2/-, though heard he was very witty and powerfully eloquent. Went to see another speaker which was free, but not so good. Discusses visits by friends and furniture he may buy for his rooms.
