THEY LAUGHED AT THE HEAT.
FRESH AIR CHILDREN WENT AWAY To
THE COUNTRY AND DIDN'T MIND
THE WEATHER.

There were good many people in this town who
thought that Heat. Humidity & Co. raised the limit
yesterday. They walked up and down Manhattan
Island. mOpped their bTows. leaned against soda
fountains and worried over it, They speculated
upon the causes and bemoaned the results, and
the more they worried the hotter they became II
such foolish way take hot weather. For
the credit of New-TOrks good sense be IL said
that there were 1S7 members of the city's pOpula-
ton who did not take it In that at all. They
laughed at it and threw 1t to the winds OF course,
they had good excuse for they were all bound
to cool places in the country by way OF The Tribune
Fresh Air Fund. But that should not detract from
the force of their CHEEKY example. for they were
the little children OF the tenements, and tene
ment house in this weather is not conducive to
laughter.

who away yesterday. The first consisted OF
twelve boys. who started early in the morning for
