A IoRRIu SUNDAY.

Yesterday was another hot day.
The thermometer did not get as high
as on Saturday, but the humidity more
than made up the difference. The
highest point registered yesterday was
"a degrees at II o'clock, being two de-
grees lower than SATURDAY..
The effect or the depression was felt
to that extent that many persons who
generally go Co church, no matter how
warm 1t is. felt that II would be quite
excusabie In them n they we're to fore
go the pleasure once. The result was
that most OF the shore resorts were
crowded.
The mercury began to drop about
noontime and bv 8 o'clock In the eve
ming reached the seemingly comforta-
bic point OF So degrees.

WHAT VALOREM!
Ladysmith Is Relieved-Despatch.

Hurrah, hurrah! the world rings with the shout, For Ladysmith, at last, has been re-
 lieyed; Anxiety gives way to thrilling joy While yet the news can scarcely De De-
 lieved. Run SI,i up yoar bunting let your banners TO kiss the breezes that, the tidings,
 bring; Send up your jubilations to the skies, And give your o'erwrought feelings fullest
 swing. Let poets sing, and people pour, their, souls
 iant White, For twice two months against tremendous odds And nerved his heart and arm for sturdy fight. For four long months, the little garrison Detied the horde of Boers, cunning, brave; Defied the sweltering heat, and dread dis ease, And prayed for strength oer many an open grave. Where history inscribes heroic deeds Of sons of men, upon the scroll of fame, With immortelles to grace each hero's name. For valor and resistance annals fail To chronicle an equal deed of war, And right and justice trumpet-tongued ac- claim Congratulating peans from afar.
