Summer So Far Especially Delightful

The GOODNESS Of the weather this week

ing about the delightfulness of the pres
ent summer
Former records are being consulted
and comparisons made. and there can be
no doubt that the first half OF August
breaks the record for low temperature
for some years back.
Today's low temperature was 50, early
this morning. This is away below the
average. The maximum TO noon today
was &c On August 10 last year the max
