FAMED BY SALT BREEZES
THE PRESIDENT IN HIS NEW
RETREAT.
A Fairly Comfortable DaY-Intense
Heat Pursues Him Confidence
that He Will Do WeII-RecOVerIng
from The Strain of His Journey.
A COMFORTABLE NIGHT.

ELBERON, n. j., September z, $50 A. M
General Swain, in discussing the condition
of the President this morning, said he had
slept well all night, that his pulse was not
more than 108, snd that his temperature was
but slightly above normal. There is a very
sanguine feeling among the attendants this
morning.
THE PATIENT RECOVERED FROM HIS FA-
TIGUE.
LONG BRANCH, September s, 1910 P. M
The Presidents condition continues favora-
bic, and the attending surgeons and Cabi-
net officers express themselves entirely sat
tshed with the present outlook. The morn
ing bulletin has had the effect of sllaying
all uneasiness on the part Of those who
were extremely anxious last night, and It is
confidently expected that the favorable
symptoms will continue. The fact Of the Pre-
sident having had sufficient recuperatiVe
power to rally from his depressed condition
of last night is received as a very good indi-
cation that his recovery is but a question
OF time. DR.. Bliss thinks that thu ocean air
will henceforth have a decidedly bracing
effect on the patient. Attorney General
MacVesgh, who last night was extremely
despondent, is feeling in good spirits this
morning, and thinks that the change during
the night was almost marvellous.
Secretary Brown entered his office early
this morning, with a very pleasant
smile on his countenance, and showed
by his general conduct that there had been
change for the better. 1t having been
decided to issue official bulletins but twice
daily is another good indication, and tends
to prove that the surgeons do not anticipate
the recurrence Of anything serious. The
weather to-day is said to be the hottest of
the season. The thermometer at this hour
i nearly 80 in the shade, with land breeze
blowing.
PASSING GOOD DAY.
Ills P M-The President is reported to
be passing a good day. The excessive heat
affected him somewhat, but his general
condition is encouraging, and he is holding
the gain which he made during the night.
DOING WELL DESPITE THE HEAT.
2:30 P. M-General Swain says the Presi-
dent has held his own during the day, and
he thinks be is somewhat stronger. He
expresses himself as feeling much more
comfortable than in Washington, and
enjoys the sea air exceedingly.
DR.. Boynton, who was present at the
noon examination, says his pulse, while a
little higher, being ia beats, was good and
firm, and his temperature, which was but
little above the normal, indicated that there
was very little fever. t'On the whole ~ said
the doctor, ''the improvement of the patient
last night shows that he has considerable
vitality left. / expect to be able to give
you better news in the course Of the next
thirty-six or forty-eight hours"
The residents Of Long Branch say the heat
OF to-day is greater than it has been for
years. In some places the thermometer
ranged between 80 aud 100. The Presi-
dents quarters are quite comfortable, how
ever, and are open TO what little air is stir
