MUCH DISCOMFORT II TIE CITY.
TIE THERMOMETER vERGING on THE NINErrEs-
SEVERAL sUNsTRoKEs IEPoRTED, ONE oP THEM
FATAL
The thousands who were exposed to the direct in
fuence Of the sun yesterday were conscious that it
was one of the warmcst days thus far this year.
From early morn until p III. the suns rays poured
down with fercencss reminding one of July in
ccad Of MAY. slight breeze from the south At in
teryals served to amcl' orate the prevalent heat
som what, but, on the whole. it was day Of dis
comfort To those who were rcading the STREETS aud
avenues. On the water the dag was more enjoyable.
The breeze fresh, and protected by all awning
from the sun. the plcasure-seekcr had little concep-
ton Of the distress which those shore were
PEELED to undergo. Soon after o'clock the sky was
overcast and there were indications Of a shower.
The officer in charge of the Signal Service sta
ton in the Equitable Building reported that the
weather was warm and clear over most of the area
from which reports were received At I o. IN. the
Thermometer at the station indicated GGo; at noon,
7G', and at 3 p. m. s4o At lIudnuts the Their
mometer registered follows: At 0 a. M, 7Oo; at
noon, 500, and p M 800.
To the majority Of city folk among the sghtsccrs
the attractions of the military parade outweighed
the charms of Central Park. The visitors there
were not 40 humorous usual on holidays and
most Of them evidently had come in from tile
country. These people seem to have a way p COM
ing 10 the city when urban jewellers seek the
country. Beng from the country, they sought the
portions of the Park which could best satisfy their
curiosity and appettcs. All day long they were in
and around the mcnagcric and the TciTcshmcnt stalls
The mOnkcy-hOusc was crowded, and fortunately
for the crowd the lizzie creatures found the tropical
temperature not oppressive and relaxed none of
their efforts 10 anus Onll one inclined 10 he
laZy-an elderly fellow who indOlcntly watched the
antics of his nimhlcr brethren while lying on ms
shrli IN an attitude which compelled HIM To take
the view upside down. Occasionally the little fell
lows galloprl over his nose n vain effort to rouse
him To playlulncss. There seemed to be almost ~
many people IN the monkey in the Mall and
on the terrace by the lake.
The following cases OF sunsr ke were reported
yesterday: one Of them was fatal:
