The Day at Long Branch.
HOT WEATHER

LONG BRANCH, Sept. To-day was one of
the warmest ever experienced at Long Branch.
The thermometer ranged between 80 and 100,
with little land breeze from the south and was
scarcely bearabie. Everyone suffered extreme
ly and remained as quietly as possible in shady
places. In the immediate vicinity of the
Presidents cottage everything was very quiet.
With view of preserving perfect quiet all
persons are prevented gong beyond given
point some distance from the cottage. The
authorities and Others with the Presidential
party excepting Mrs. Garfield Miss Waller
and Mrs. Rockwell, take their meals at the
Elberon hotel.
GETTING ALONG FINELY.
Gen. Swain said this evening the President
is getting along finely, and was undoubtedly
better now than this morning The gland was
dressed this noon, and is growing better all
the time. l think this air will benefit the
President after we get the sea breeze. The
President himself says he notices the air is
pure, and he enjoys the ocean scene very
much. The Presidents rallying so soon
from the fatigue of yesterdays rail
way trip is very favorable indication.
1t shows there is considerable of Garfield left
yet. The expected good result from the
change will begin to develope, should Judge,
in day or two, and have no doubt that the
next two days will show marked gain. Mrs.
Garfield is rested, and feels quite well again.
Dr. Boynton says he thinks the President is
doing admirably.
FEELING BETTER.
A reporter asked, has the President made
any remarks which would indicate he feels
any benefit by the change of air?
DR.. BoYnton answered yes. He did so to-
day. Warren Young, of private Secretary
Browns Office, came into the room with some
mail. Seeing him, the President held out his
hand and remarked, Young, don't you think
/ look better today?'' Mr. Young responded
with emphasis, "And feel better. This is
good air"
How long should it be, doctor, before the
patient should commence to gain his strength,
providing the sea agrees with him9
From forty five to sixty hours.
DR.. Boynton remarked as he was leaving
the reporter, "We will have good news for
YOU in a day or so. l think Col. Corbin con-
siders the President somewhat stronger"
After the issuance of the evening bulletin
the several attending surgeons left Franck1yn
cottage for dinner. DIR. Hamilton states the
exceeding hot weather to-day was somewhat
unfavorable to the progress of the President.
The evening bulletin was very concise and
correct statement of the situation. Tonight
the case mas an eAceculuSly ldNOTdOl6 OUTLOOK.
DIR. Bliss says tonight the President is better
in more than one respect.
Has there been any marked change was
asked?
do not pretend to say there has yet.
When do you expect marked change for
the better?
OH in the course of few days.
Have you any reason for expecting such a
good result?
The indications are favorable. The wound
and gland are both doing well and the only
trouble seen in the future is the extreme
weakness of the President. This hot weather
is better for him than for you and me when
we get the s8 breeze. expect favorable
change.
Is the patient comfortable tonight?
He is.
And you see no unfavorable symptoms?
None whatever.
DR.. Barnes expressed the opinion that not
withstandlng the extreme heat, on the whole
the President is better here than he would be
in Washington.
DIR. Woodward said it was probable that the
President would be better than now if the
weather was cooler. We would not wish il
understood that we are dissatisfied.
Late o-night DR.. Reyburn said that while
the President had not gained a great
deal of ground to-day he has
certainly held his own; that he had
