weather yesterday was as sultry as any
that has prevailed in this vicinity during
the present summer. The temperature
was uncomfortable at day break, and as
the sun rose higher in the heavens the
heat became very oppressive. These
conditions continued until about seven
O'Clock in the evening when a refreshing
breeze set in from the north, thunder
shower having passed some distance
north of Washington. The breeze, how
ever, soon died out, and the night was
sultry. The wind had again changed
to the moth early this morning. Be-
tween six and seven o'clock there was a
refreshing shower Other showers fol-
lowed, rendering the temperature still
more comfortable.
