There was quite Q rush to the steamer Philadelphia also. The sud den shower yesterday afternoon caught many picnickers away from shelter, and not few were drenched. Two robust ladies just arrived from the shore met and exchanged saluta- < tions near the corner of Church and Chapel streets, as they were about to enter a horse car. ''Did you get wet ?" asked the younger \ of the elder "Wet l' was the answer, s'sure was drownded" On Chapel street foeks of ladies occupied Shows confection- \ cry emporium Kloek's drug store and other central spots of refuge, and scores out shop ' ping found refuge under awnings or inside | the stores The heavy wind gusts \ that accompanied the shower did ' some damage to not few trees
 about the city. Opposite Dwight
 school n violent gust wrenehed off large ' limb of Il maple and threw it into the street. | The way the rain deaeended and the floods fell for few minutes was caution. In n short time the sun was shining again serene \ ly.
