We went from Goblin to Pugnitz, three miles and a half. Feb. 22. Through Storchnest to Schmiegel, four miles. Here happened a singular adventure. The peasants at this place were dancing to a vile scraper on the violin: I took the instrument myself, and played while they continued their hilarity.

I doubt if London or Paris or any city in the world can show such a carriage carnival as I have seen here five or six times these beautiful May afternoons. May 16 to 22. I visit Central Park now almost every day, sitting, or slowly rambling, or riding around.
