er which broke the city shortly before
o'clock and effectually broke the backbone of
the hot wave. Within space Of twenty min
utes. between 2:50 and $40 p m. the mercury
fell from Sc to 6S3 degrees. The shower
ACCOMPANIED by a brisk wind, that for five
minutes maintained a velocity of fifty-six miles
an hour This shower came up with rush
that caught many people mapping. Many offices
and factories had closed for the Saturday half
Aal FO-
excursions to escape the citys heat
The weather before the shower arrived had
been a great Improvement on that Of the earlier
mart Of the week The morning air
freshine as the mercury rose more lesurely,
and a ten knot breeze from the west tempered
the heat There was life in the atmosphere.
The city seemed in dinerent latitude, now
ever after the shower. The atmosphere was
6eliciousIv cool and refreshing, and every ones
erirfts seemed to revive under its influence. 1t
made one glad TO be alive.
Commissioner Wilcox of the Department Of
Parks was out of town yesterday. and no one
could be found to explain why the police would
NOT hermit people to sleep on the grass in the
marks on Friday night. The number who took
advantage of this permission last night was not
so large as on Friday night, owing to the lower
temperature. -,
In the storm lightning struck the transform
ing station of the Edison Electric Illuminating
COMPANY at Harway-ave. and Bay Imrty-
ninth-st Rensonhurst. One OF the transformers
and a switchboard were ruined causing loss
az "a 600 The engineer in charge received a
slight shock The building was set on hre, but
that caused little damage
