An enormous crowd at the concert.
Returning to the villa along the promenade, we saw a yacht arriving with a great English flag. I guessed at once that it was the Duke of Hamilton's vessel.
Behind the first ship, another yacht advances. It belongs to the Duke's cousin.
As the Duke of Hamilton's ship passed near the promenade, I recognized on the deck some ladies and the red parasol of the Wittgenstein woman.
Then the two yachts set off toward Monte Carlo.
On the terrace, I read the newspaper. There is the program for the first two days of the races. The Duke's horses are not running.
