refreshing there
In Battery Park It is estimated that $500
persons slept under the trees and on the
grass. Extra policemen from the Church

peace. In Jeanette Park at Coenties Slip, five
hundred persons slept under the protection of six
patrol.nen from the Old Slip station. II the

tfem women and children, spent the night un-
der the stars The Duane Street park and the
little grassplot at the foot of V--st Canal street
each received their share of outdoor sleepers.
The sleepers in the downtown parks We're
excited early IN the evening by a rumor that
the police had received thousand pillows
5or their use and that at any minute policemen
with pillows might appear. This rumOr started
because Captain AIcNaly. OF the Church street
station. received a letter from Charles e.

IS serious I will refuse TO commit any one to
those stuffy i'll ventilated cells
Many immigrants who came from Ellis Island
yesterday were wholly unprepared for the hot
wave The greater part of those who arrived
wore heavy clothing and cumbersome boots and
shoes. In many instances number OF Rus
slams were seen TO pass through the gate with
big overcoats trimmed with fur.
The ten curb brokers who absolutely refused
10 desert the street despite the heat were cheered
as heroes. Tom MarsaIis. representing J.
Thomas Reinhardt the curb. wore about his
neck rope, TO which attached a thermome-
ter about three feet long. He stood in the sun
and the thermometer ran up TO JOG degrees.
When darkness came the tenement houses of
the East Side were emptied. and sidewalks and
streets became living apartments. Many Of the
lower East Side streets were almost impossible.
There was a great crowd the airy roof
gardens OF the Educational Alliance, at East
Broadway and Jefferson street. and the Uni
versity Settlement at Eldridge and Rivington
streets. Adults We're admitted to these roof
gardens, and children only when accompanied
by their elders The crowd came early and
mained until they were dismissed to the streets,
shortly before midnight.
