looked as II the eighty or hundred thousand people
who fee to the country every year had all gone, and
left the million and more Of their neighbors their
melting fate. This million principally en-
gagged In keeping cool. but not with much success
From the rural Suburban districts from the mountains
and the seashoe, rumors of the gay times which
the fashionable people Of leisure having in their
secluded cool retreats These exssperating tales were
brought to town by fond friends who into the
cit on one or two days last week attend belaed
June weddings, or to watch the yacht regattas Of
Thursday and yesterday from the boats OF the cubmen
Many gay parties were all at sea on those days
There gathering, too Of than usual interest
at Lenox, when the new Episcopal Church was conse
Grated.
OF the belatod June weddings, the most general
interest was felt, perhaps, In that Of Miss Agnes
Binsse and Reginald Francklyn, Tuesday, and OF
Miss Thompson and David Ogden Fowler, on wednes-
day. These two fond couples had been engaged long
enough to allow their friends 20 acquire old
