to-day than upon any foregoing day Of
this year. and the mercury made Its

mercury under the Sc point 1t struck
this day six years ago.
The heat was fully felt by the swelter-
ing citizen, and although 1t was no
warmer on the street for a wonder than
in Mr. Dunns tower and It was nearly
as hot yesterday, there was a glare to
the sun that scorched the tiles on the
roofs and raised blisters on the cobble

Pcrrys, made much more rapid strides
than Mr.. Dunn's sensitive registers. At
2.30 o'clock the mercury in front OF the
Park Row drug store stood at 81 de-
grees. which was four degrees ahead OF
the Government thermometer.
At the same hour perspiripg citizen
reported that l0l l-2 was recorded in
front of the Aston House.
Perry's thermometer in Park Row
Row marked 81 degrees during the noon
hour, which Ia odd in ITSELF as there Is
usually from to degrees difference be-
tween 1t and the Government instrument.
