The last Sunday of Summer began Yesterday with
vigorous an attack on the ihermometer as II u
had been the middle of July instead OF The last week
of August. The RAYS of the sun beat down on the
city heavily during the early hours, and had the
effect of Thinning the churcn congregations and
swelling the crowds on the excursion trans and
steamers. People who had just returned to the CITY
from comfortable seaside resorts or cool mountain
retreats. were especially sensitive to the heat
and devoutly wished that they had postponed their
return for few DAYS. As it was, many OF them
fled from the city ior dpln The suri at some OF the
neIghboring beaches. People who wore their sum
mer clothing were much more comfortable than
those who had invested III fall goods. Large num-
beers of people visited Central Park where the grass
still retains its summer dress of green, although
the dropping Of prematurely dead leaves nom some
of the trees was IA gentle reminder OF the " mean-
choly DAYS" that TO come i'll few weeks. I he
smaller parks down town were also well patrOniZed.

promenaded to and from the various ferries and
