In the air yesterday 1t was quite the most delightful
day that New-yorkers have had for some time. All
day the temperature did not rise above the charming
figures OF - degrees and for most OF the day even
that moderate point not reached. At o'clock
in the morning the mercury stood at u degrees in
the signal tower and at midnight had fallen TO SO
degrees. ami the city assured of another night
OF refreshing sleep, which was badly needed by
many thousands OF people. Comfortable as the day
was, II would have been more refreshing had it
not been for the high humidity that prevailed from
the rising of the even to the going down thereof
1t started the day at 81 per cent and at o'clock in
the evening it had fallen only TO 81 per cent. The
conditions prevailed in the suburban districts.

CONFUSION AT THE THIRTY FOURTH AND TWEEN
TY -rHIRD-sT. FERRIES.
Black was the prevailing color at the ferry en-
frances at Twenty third and Thirty-fourth SITS yes
terday afternoon. Funeral professions crossed the
river on nearly every boat I'm the afternoon. ana
number of them in the morning. sometimes here
were three or four hearses crossing on the same
boat But none Of the professions were long There
we're not enough carriages In the city to accommo-
date them II was a long procession that had more
than half a dozen carriages In line and the average
number was four five
At the Twenty third-st ferry In the afternoon
the policemen had all they could do to keep the
drivers in decent line to take their turn NOT a
boat left the pier that did have all the carriages
and wagons that It could carry. and many time
there was line OF them left to walt for the next
boat At times there four or five hearses
waiting to be fNrrled across and the black sombre-
looking wagons. with their black plumes and
gloomy looking trappings, interminged with carts
and all sorts of wagons. told only too well now
much the city suffered from the rays Of the sun.
But no matter how bad f. was at the ferry at
Twenty-t hird-st., il much worse at the en-
trance TO Thirty fourth-st. ferry All the after
noon the lower part of Thirty-fourth-st. was
crowded for a block and sometimes for longer
distance. And that not all. There were many
teams waiting for the ferryboat around the corners
on either side in First-ave. Hearses, mourners
carriages dump-carts, express wagons and lumber
wagons were crowded together in what seemed to
be inextrcabe confusion
Whenever a boat came into the pier there was a
struggle for first place, and the police had their
hands full Many of the drivers seemed TO nave
been made reckless and cursed and swore at the
delay while others apparently went TO sleep and
waited for their turn to come. The big crowd at
the ferries was between and o'clock in the after
noon.
To-day will undoubtedly be one Of the hardest
DAYS at these two lighthouses There are many dead
whose burial has been postponed until sunday
one of the policemen duty at the Twenty-third-
st ferryhouse said that an undertaken whom he
knew had hired fifteen carriages from Newark for
use to-day as he was unable 10 get them In New
York And this only one case of the kind
other men who acquainted with the state of
affairs say that this will be done by many Of the
underfnk ers in the city.

ice at the police stations on the East Side. The
streets were In places crowded with a pro-
cesson Of youngsters with dishpans and pals and

goods boxes with wheels rudey fashioned from
blocks Of wood.
The procession began at about o'clock in the
morning. and thert was little chance for those at
the stations who had charge Of the distribution to
rest from their abors. The amount given to each
family varied from twelve to fourteen pounds. The
police themselves knew nearly all of those who went
to the stations, and where the families were large
and had little money with which TO provide them
selves an extra allowance OF TWO pounds or more

As il usual in such cases, there were some who
were willing to take that which rightfully belonged
to others but the police used every eiiort 10 stop
