Australia I think has proved her worth – Another item is that USA pays each competitor an allowance on which to train. Coghill who has run up to finals goes out on first round to Martin (USA)
I meet Roy Hendy who is liaison officer. Also Solomons from Rose Bay & Hardwicke – I dine at camp at Hendys invitation & then come into town with Nathan [Smith] & Coghill We intend to go to Opera but having changed cars about 5 times the last one finally breaks down & we are miles too late for Opera.
We visit Montmartre which is now a crowded alley of all sorts of side shows, merrygorounds & a crowd in which it is impossible to move After a while we enter Elysee where there is dancing & skating. One of party wishing to see a cabaret artistique I take him to Neant which I have described before. After which I leave party & come home.
