In the afternoon Mr. Dunn had an entirely
different story to relate. lie Is SAID 10 DC d "'n

ner after the heavy rainfall OF the afternoon had
ceased. he said at is not going to be much
cooler tomorrow. The cool wave has postponed

with few more days of warm weather
Yesterday morning is about the only time dur
ing the last week that Mr. Dunn has been IN
correct in his predictions He predicted that

did on Wednesday and the humidity was ABOUT
: per cent greater. At o'clock the Official
thermometer registered 70 degrees. but it did
not remain long at that point The air con-
tinued TO get more humid. the mercury continued
to crawl higher, and man and Deast truo9eu
along the streets and looked and felt unhappy

and about rs per cent Of humidity. AT O'CLOCK
the mercury had scared to the 9Oth notcn. ana
at o'clock it did its hardest work win w

sidewalks and streets in places for time were
flooded. and New-York had a little relief.

not demonstrate any disposition TO go down Ior
even half a degree.
These figures are official where the thermometer
