OPPRESSED BY HUMIDITY.
Washington weather Again Causes
Much Discomfort

The drop in temperature that occurred
the fore part Of the week gave hope that
the hot weather of the summer was over
with the exception of the hot wave that
Washingtonians have been taught by ex-
| perience to look for in September. These
hopes were heightened by several days of
ccol weather that followed. but were
rudely shattered yesterday when the mer-
curry climbed to the 50 mark in spite OF
the cooling effect the showers OF the day
mad upon the intensity of the suns rays.
Eighty-n nine was the maximum at the
Weather Bureau, where the instrument is
conservative. Thermometers on the streets
and in the Offices ran several degrees ahead
Of the official maximum
But what made the day oppressive was
the intense humidity. A brief though
heavy shower fell during the morning, as
scheduled by the weather prophets. After
the shower the sun came out and began to
beat down on the wet streets and on the
dripping pedestrians who had been unfor-
tunate enough to be caught without UNI
brella o. rain coats. The result was a
feeling of sickness. Collars wilted as
rapidly as when the mercury hovered
around the century mark. Many persons
had, in the morning, when cloudy skies
seemed to presage a cool day, donned
heavier clothing than had been their wont
during the hot spell, and they had reason
to regret their action. shower about
o'clock caught many of the department
clerks as they started for their homes,
and an exceedingly heavy rainfall shortly
before s caused drop in temperature that
made the night cool enough to sleep with
comfort.
At most Eastern points showers on
Thursday were followed by rise in tenn
perature. The winds are shifting around
to the south. a condition that generally
precedes hot weather. Then, to further
Danish any lingering hopes that the opti-
mistic may entertain, the Weather Bureau
issued last night a forecast sheet that
frankly states that warmer and fair
weather will be in order today and to-
morrow. In view OF the fact that yes
teTday was almost ninety degree day,
It would not be surprising il the warmer
weather predicted would mean that the
mercury will again forge up to the marks
reached last week. A protracted siege of
high temperatures. however. is hardly
looked for. Following is a table Of tenn
peratures for twenty-four hours ending
yesterday at 10 p. M:

AUTO BEATS ELECTRIC CAR.
w. Il. Vanderbilt, Jr.. Wins an Ex-
citing Race at Newport.

NEWPORT, r. l., Aug 24-There was
an exciting race last evening between an
electric car and an automobile, and the
automobile won. The car was On The
Newport-FalI River line, and the auto
mobile was driven by William X. Wander
bih. jr. It was the White Chest So
called. which Mr. VANDERBILT. imported. and
over the fast driving Of which there has
been so much agitation IL Newport this
summer The race took place on Broad
way, the boulevard leading in town from
the island. The road is good and wide,
very suitable for racing
Since the announcement of the automo-
bile races Mr.. Vanderbilt was out with his
machine daily getting in form for the
races when he is expected to have a hard
race with Mr.. Albert G. Bostwick. who has
just arrived from abroad with a similar
machine.
1t was while returning from one Of these
spins that the race occurred. The cars on
this line run at-a rate equal to about
fifteen miles an hour. but on the down
grade they often attain the speed OF twen-
ty-five miles, so fast, indeed, that people
ia the cars often complain of the dan
gerous speed, but as yet no accidents have
happened. The race took place on a down
grade, and the speed was without doubt
the fastest ever made by an electric car
on this road.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was coming in Broadway
when he heard the car coming behind him,
and, at once seeing a chance for a race,
slowed down to allow the car to catch up
with him. The car was crowded and the
motorman saw what was up in an instant,
and at cnce put on more current The car
fairly few over the rails 1t was too fast
for comfort, but the motoTman was going
to see what the automobile was made Of.
As seen as the car and automobile was
abreast Mr.. Vanderbilt put on full steam.
II was not a fair start, for while Mr..
Vanderbilt was getting a good headway
on the car had passed him. but only for
a minute, and the automobile was seen
alongside the car again. They continued
on this way for some seconds.
a farmers wagon was passed by the
automobile without any damage lone, but
later the flying car and machine scared
horse, and as a result a wagon was minus
a wheel. The race was getting very ex-
citing when CT sudden Mr.. Vanderbilt
shot ahead and was soon los. to view.
