LETTER FROM BALTFAfoRE.


bALrinoHE, June 1oth, 1889.
We have entered decidedly and omphatieaiIy
into the hot spell Of real summer, and there has
been more or less suffering from intense heat
Last Sunday the hottest day yet experienced
this season In Baltimore, the mercury running up
10 % degrees In the shade. Since then Il has
tinued very warm and oppressive, with the Their
mometer ranging from 20 20 so and occasionally
90 10 % degrees. There were fewer sun.strokes
and less suffering from the heat than there other
wise might have been had the great sutriness not
been occasionally relieved by pretty strong winds
and breezes from the south. There were also some
gentle showers which served 10 cool the atmos-
pherc, but notwithstanding Il has been hot enough
FOR all practical purposes, and the main object Is
TO keep cool as possible.
Very many citizens have already gone TO the
different watering places and country resorts,
whilst hundreds mOro-I might say thousands--
are preparing TO 60 In the coming Few DAYS. By
the lth Of July Cape May especially Is likely to
be eTouded-many Of them Baltimoreans. IL is
expected that the exodus Of citizens this year
on summer pleasure tours, both At home and
abroad, will be greater than for many years past.
Those who cannot indulge in the moro expensive
pleasures at the seaside. In the mountains, at the
various heahlui springs aud watering places, will
be content 10 participate in the numerous exeur.
sions on the Chesapeake Bay, &C.
Tho eneampment Of the Grand Army of the Re.
public having proved In every way success and
satisfactory to all who participated In IL being
now over, the next great AFFAIR or jubilee In our
city will be the second annual Baltimore 0riole,
which takes place about the l2,h Of September
next. Preparations are already making for it,
The expectation Is that Il will prove grand affair
and surpass In every way the inaugural or hrst
0riole which gave such general satiifaetion.-
Coming near the equinoctial season the fear IL
storms insident 10 that peculiar period may inter-
fere somewhat, but such risks have 20 be taken
Our citizens are much interested In II.
Baltimore at present wears the appearance II
usually does just before or at the coming Of bar
vest that u, sort Of stupid, inactive dullnens
Very many iaborers have gone 20 tho country 10
help In gathering IN the crops or make few dol
lars extra by thus applying their labors. There
are but few country people In town. most Of them
being required at home seeing TO their harvesting
Any one who has resided in big city for num-
Der Of years could almost tell without having been
told IL that were In the harvest season by the
general look Of things in the city. There 10 a
something In the atmosphere that tells Of the Fact
not unlike the approach Of Christmas holidays.
The registration Of voters IL still progressing n
our city and will continue until the eni Of this
month. From present indications, judging the
future by the past, the whole vote Of Baltimore
will not show much over 5000 TO G0,e00 whites
and possibly l0.0e9 TO 1900 coiovei. The color.
ed people have been registering with considerable
activity and are likely TO continue 40 doing. The
Republicans, too, IL IL said by those who profess
I to Know. have been very prompt IN registering
their haiss--BoFe 80. indeed. than the Democrats
and likely 10 continue So doing. AZ this mat
ter Of registsring is sf great Importance to all
citizens DESTROYS Of exercising ,Ls right Of fran
chise nor should they neglect IL no matter 10 what
party they may belong. Without svaiiing Of I,
under the new Law psrsons will assnrediy lose
! their votes.
/ Il l. matter Of regret 60 uaany Eal,imoreAns
that Mayor whyte has concluded 10 veto the bill
passed by our City Council. authorizing the build
