Waited over an hour at New Richmond for train. At Carleton we encountered a large excursion party from Campbellton. Many drunken toughs were with them and they had a fight out in the yard of the hotel. Mr. Cullen (with whom we are stopping) has let half his house to a family. We had our trunks put in a vacant store adjoining the hotel. Worked most of P. M. putting away plants. At 5.00 P. M. Miss Waring, Williams, Fernald, and I went in bathing.
