 Yesterday according to Local Obser- yer Tarr, was one of the warmest days of the present summer. There was lit tie wind to temper the suns scorching rays and the humidity was heavy enough to make everybody swelter to an alarming extent. It was typical August day and one that made people sigh for ocean breezes in the hope of finding more comfortable quarters than could be found in the city. Nearly eve- ry one that could get away went, and the result was that yesterdays was the largest Sunday travel of the season. It was estimated that at least seventy thousand people were carried to and from the various shore and country re- sorts. At savin Rock the crowd was so dense that at times it was difficult to move about freely in some of the most frequented places.
 At the White City there was a per- feet jam of people all the afternoon and evening. It was low water during the afternoon, but in spite of this fact thousands donned bathing suits and took what little degree of pleasure they could obtain from dipping in the shall low water far out from the land. The hotels and restaurants did 8 rushing business all day and at some of the places they were entirely "eaten out of house and home, as the phrase goes
 There were also very large crowds at Morris Cove and Lighthouse Point; at the latter place bathing was freely in fl Qul5CQ llls 4hGlilJ CclllV bS lAOAlNS " this resort and then returned home by way of the west shore, crossing the Water by the various launches and steamer which piled to and fro during the day, At Momauguin and Mans fields Grove there were two of the largest crowds of the summe; at these resorts bathing, fishing and boating be- ing the principal attractions, and these were freely indulged in.
