singing by Mr. Sims Reeves the great tenor
Mr. Patey, Mr. Weiss, Madame Rudersdorf and
other great singers of the day. After
the concert was over the people returned
to the grounds where various sports such
as "Kiss in the ring" were going on. I
walked about the grounds for an hour or
two but being alone I did not enter into
any of the amusements which seemed to
delight the people. I reached home
pretty much fatigued about ten o'clock.
This being Easter day and the weather rather
inclement T. and I went to St Paul's
Deptford. After tea we took a walk to
Greenwich Park. A large crowd of people
were here assembled. Running down
the hill sides was the amusements most
in favor with the people and great
was there shout of laughter when
some unlucky young lady tripped
and fell, especially when her clothes flew
over her head thereby exposing her to
the gaze of the crowd. I thought it
was rather an indecent recreation

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
