Yesterday was another record-breaker on ac
count Of the heat In this city. According to Mr..
Dunn the local weather prophet. 1t was the warm
est June / since the Weather Bureau was estab-
nshed. The nearest approach to such weather
on corresponding day was on June !, 1879,
when the temperature rose to SO degrees. and
Ncw-Yorkers on that occasion thought the
weather was too warm for comfort The temper
ature in the city yesterday came within two de-
grces OF the highest ever recorded here In June,
9G degrees being reached on June 20. 1883. and
again on June 90 1893. Speaking Of the warm
wave. which was felt severely here on Memorial
Day and continued through Friday and y"ster-
day. Mr.. Dunn said:
THE warm wave still extends through the
country east of the Mississippi River. and the
crest of the wave is along the Atlantic coast. New
York is right in the centre of the crest. and 1t Is
hotter here this afternoon than in any part of the
country. think | do not prospect FOR much
cooler weather to-morrow. there Is no promise
of rain unless We have an occasional local thun-
der shower"
LIKE A BLAST FROM a FURNACE.
The weather conditions Of yesterday were much
like those Of Friday. only there was stronger
breeze blowing from the west and 1t was hot
ter in the earlier part OF the day In spite of the
breeze. At times the breeze was at the rate OF
twenty miles an hour. but to people who were
exposed TO the fierce rays OF the sun II seemed
more like a bias, from a furnace than Ike cool
ing wind II served to keep down the humidity.
however, and IN shady places the breeze was

There seemed 10 be less actual suffering from
IN. heat IN the city ycstoidty than On Friday.
